Earlier it was Orlik DSK in the Peterson Republic Era old-style Tankard, now it's McConnell's Folded Flake in a Chatham Acorn.

Did some snacking, and am now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Uzumaki in a 1970s slight bend Caminetto Business 134 poker with a pearl gold acrylic stem.
Another long day. Sillem’s Black in an Ashton Pebble Grain Dublin.
Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls in a sandblasted Briarworks bullmoose. First bowl in nearly 4 days, and it sat mighty well with me. 
First smoke in days ... Peterson Perfect Plug in a Peterson Premier System 313.
About a third of a bowl left of MacBaren Three Nuns Green in a 2018 smooth straight flame grain Basil Meadows Merchant Service "Bing" replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Have enough left for one more bowl.
Almost half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Burlier Morning Pipe in a mid-70s straight smooth octagonal paneled Jeanet (made by Chacom) billiard with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
On lunch break at work. Sutliff 507c Virginia slices in a MM little devil cutty.
W Ø Larsen Craftsman edition in a Peterson Spigot on a windy day. Temperature drop of over 10C overnight here in DK, from a summer Sunday to a Monday with ice-cold wind from the North. Several conclusions:
- For me wind is THE main obstacle to enjoy a smoke (since I don't smoke indoors). I can deal with cold, rain and heat, but wind is just a no-go
- I am really not getting used to the Peterson P-lip
- The Larsen Tobacco is OK, but since I get these as a gift in 100g boxes with each Estervals delivery I now have 300gr to smoke through. Will take a while..
- I like that the tin has a (old) map of inner Copenhagen on it, including the location of my workplace (in normal times)
- However: W Ø Larsen seems to be one of these "ghost" brands, where the actual traditional Shop that was behind it (beautiful historic store in Copenhagen) closed many years ago, but the story and name is kept alive for business purposes
Last smoke of the day is Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Phone chatting about stuff.
Enjoying a bowl of C&D Autumn Evening with about 4 yrs on it, in a Grabow Tru-Grain smooth straight group 3 sized smooth billiard.
First bowl before lunch Solani - 633: Virginia Flake with Perique in S. Otello Full-bent, black Rusticate
MacBaren's Plumcake in a Charatan Zulu pipe.
MacBaren's Harmony in a Blakemar Bent Egg.
Just finished up a bowl of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a bent MM 5th avenue diplomat.
