Finishing the day with a bowl of Skippers Flake in a Peterson Rosslare Classic.
Afternoon repeat bowl of Elizabthan MIxture in a Tilshead smooth Semibent with tapered stem.
I'm in santa fe by the downs, I can see the Jemez mountains from my home. And the fire on the other side of the sangre de Christo mountains. We had ash falling on us for a couple days but with the wind shifting its gone for now.
Be safe! Hope you have your go bag in your vehicle.
The saddest part is one of the fires was a controlled burn that got out of control ?
Yes. Infuriating.
1998 Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a Rad Davis Billiard.
No more fire talk. Just had a bowl of some nice Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River in a puffaluffaguss special lol. 
2019 HU Director’s Cut/PS 311 Perique in a 2014 Ashton Pebble Grain XXX.
On my last post I misspelled the name of my Ropp pipe, which is an Etudiant. These are moderately priced, and like many French pipes, it is above its price point in quality.
After years of French courses in school, even auditing courses I had already taken to get the hang of the language, I always manage to mangle it somehow. Such a beautiful language. French speakers always quickly change to English when they hear me say bonjour. My brother-in-law is Dutch and speaks several languages fluently and is conversational in several more. Whew.

Watch City Simply Red in a Sasieni Four Dot Viscount Lascelles S
This is likely the penultimate bowl for this tin of Eight State Burley. Smoking it in a Yeti this afternoon. 
Did a second set of walks in the heat and humidity, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Did you want to tone down the dark fired in Director's Cut?
Haunted Bookshop in a MM Country Gentleman. I have never tired of this blend. One of the best from Russ IMHO.
Well, when I bought the DC, it was all the rage on the forums… Then the reports came in that it wasn’t the same, they changed the recipe, cheaped out on the Perique…
As received I was ok with the blend, but I figured I’d experiment with it. So I added about 20% of some several year old PS 311 to the mix. It does tend to add a plummy note to the blend, and I enjoy that too. Just a little twist to the blend. Is it like the old recipe? I wouldn’t know… but it’s satisfying to me.
Almost half way through this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
