Pegasus in a CAO/Bekler claw meerschaum:
2020 C&D Bijou in a Sasieni Four Dot Ruff Root Buckingham. I bought the Bijou on a whim, in order to bump up an order to get free shipping.
I popped my first tin yesterday. The honey top note is noticeable, complements the other tobaccos well without sublimating them. The aged red and Katerini are a pleasant combo, with the aged red taking the lead. Great smoke.

Actually had time for a bowl this morning. Newminster 400 in Peterson SH Original P-lip. Mostly left over broken flake bits. Rather satisfying smoke.
Last evening, Barbary Coast in a bent smooth billiard from the fine old Danish discontinued factory pipe brand Bari, a gift from my late wife's aunt one Christmas in the 1970's.
My very first bowl of Uno in my Pete Watson. Early on latakia soon followed by a perique flavor, but much more to go.
That photo was made August 2021 when I received the pipe. It has been smoked numerous times since then.
Sitting on the front stoop enjoying the fact that it's not raining. C&D Star of the East gold in a Peterson Killarney 338
Now at the end of the bowl, the fine virginias lead with a little smoky dark fired mixed in. This blend is perfectly suited to my habit of smoking all the way to the bottom. Delicious! Thanks, JimInks, for the review that let me to buy it.
Winchester in a Radice Rind bent bulldog.
listening to Performance Today and later Science Friday on WLRH Huntsville, Alabama. Happy Weekend all!

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2015 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Posting this early:
Heading into LA for a friend's parent's 80th birthday celebration this weekend. Bringing my Savinelli Tortuga 614 bent billiard for aromatics, and my SMS claw meer for everything else. Packed for myself (and for sharing, if I should be so lucky to encounter another pipe smoker) about three or four bowls each of:
1) Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake
2) Ashton Gold Rush
3) Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match
4) Peterson Nightcap
That should take care of my needs quite nicely. Depending on the outcome of Game 7 Kings vs. Oilers, there may also be copious amounts of alcohol paired with the above. ?
No bird report, obviously, but I did see a Lesser goldfinch (first of the year!) this morning. LA birds will probably just be crows and sparrows, maybe a Mourning dove or two if I'm lucky. Frazier Park birds spoil me!
Happy weekend everyone, and happy smokes! ?

Good day all! Started with Peterson Flake, like yesterday, but in a smaller Upshall sandblast Bulldog with hex shank and saddle stem size 3-4. The smaller bowl seemed to expand the flavor profile and reveal the delicate and subtle tones I missed when using a size 5 bowl. Now about to put fire to a bowl of Peterson Royal Yacht in a Tilshead smooth Billiard with saddle stem.
Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Started with some Early Morning match, quickly becoming a favorite. Now time for some PS Luxury Bullseye Flake for lunch, water to drink. Happy Friday all!
Starting the weekend with some 1996 McClelland No.24 in a Wiley with some fresh made lemonade on the side.
UNO in a self made bamboo shanked billiard.
