Meerschaum March! OJK in an Altinay.
A third of the way through this bowl of undated McCranies Red Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Derby Natural Grain billiard (Sasieni) with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Couldn't sleep. Watching the very worst episode of The Adventures of Superman, Mr. Zero. At least actor Herb Vigran is in it. He has one line where he says about Lois Lane to Mr. Zero, "Being a lady, and not knowing any better..." Funny thing is that this line was written by a woman, Peggy Chantler.
Breaking in this new basket pipe with a first bowl of Bob's Chocolate Flake 
Happy Saturday! Got some Cowboy Coffee in the Stublin while I work on my Pajero Mini.
Tilbury in the Sven Knudsen. Lovely.
Woke up and had a bowl of burley with my coffee, ran a mile with the dogs, and then Mrs Cosmic had breakfast waiting on me.
My first time getting around to Horizons. I don’t usually smoke latakia this early in the day, but I wanted a few bowls of it before I developed an opinion. Very interesting tobacco… I like the “cosmic” theme.

Beautiful morning that warmed up quickly. Scarborough in a Baki
One of my lizard buddies catching some rays.
In my continued spirit for adventure I decided to a try a new (to me) tobacco. On today's menu was Black Irish X by Gawith, Hoggarth & Co loaded in my Guildhall. I've enjoyed the Brown Irish X so much I've really been looking forward to having a go at the darker stuff.
At the start of my adventure, and for a lack of better words, it tasted like how my barbecue grill smells. I got a lot of charred meat, smokiness, and an overall umami taste. Although that theme would mostly persist throughout my bowl it became very enjoyable the further down the bowl I went and became less grill like. The subtle sweetness coupled with the umami taste made it pretty umai (delicious).
It should be noted that this was my first smoke of the day and thus my confidence in my novice palate can't be fully trusted yet. Nevertheless, and comparatively speaking, I still prefer it's lesser stoved counterpart, Brown Irish X. But this blend was pretty enjoyable, for my anyways
Hope you all have a great Saturday

Having Black Mallory in bed. Then, off to lunch with my girl. People say she’s a clone of me hahaha.
More ‘24 Cringle Flake in the Pete. Listening to 9/9/1972.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Settled into a bowl of Boswell’s English Biscuit in my Nording. I love this pipe because of its bowl size. Good for a 45-60min smoke. I have an iced mocha to sip on and Sprout is back babysitting me.
Easing into the day with a bowl of PS Cube Cut burly in a Brebbia with coffee

Doing something I don't normally do this morning... smoking a brand new pipe with a tobacco ive never tried before. The pipe is a Peterson St Patrick's Day shape 608 and the tobacco is Rivertown Oak & Ember. I dig the pipe. It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, but in a good way. It's a good shape. The tobacco? Hard to tell in a new pipe, but I'm not immediately grabbed by it. It's fine, but I think I was hoping for something a little different. I already have pounds of Pegasus.
