Did a set of walking reps under cloudy, humid skies, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

GLP Westminster in a Savinelli capri root briar 509.
Ashton Artisan's Blend in a Ser Jacopo Rowlette Maxima Lumberman.
Before dinner, I'm finishing the last third of Condor, in a MM Diplomat bent. A beautiful cloudy and cool night. So I'm going to prepare another pipe with C&D Byzantium, one of my favorite latakia blends. For smoking at night.
Bosun Plug in a late 1800’s Loewe Egg Meer restored and re-stemmed by Ryan Alden
Started the day with some coffee and some Sutliff Crumble Kake No. 3. Nice woodsy plumes of smoke.
Finally back home. Outside with an unusual Dunhill Shell Briar procured from Iwan Ries during a trunk show near the end of covid. Smoking Country Squire 50th Anniversary.
A warm “Spring” day with temperatures on the way to 91deg.
A MM cob and a spur of the moment decision to mix up Half n Half with a pinch of 2021 C&D Perique.
Mug of 50/50 Kombucha and black ice tea.

More Evening Flake in the basket Dublin that I've apparently designated as my Virginia pipe.
Think it's pretty well broken in now.

Dan Tobacco - Tordenskjold Virginia Slices in a Radice Pure Rind Billiard and a Cup of Joe.
Just over a quarter of a bowl left of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Been doing heavy duty cleaning on five estate pipes. I like them very clean before I smoke them.
Having a quiet, enjoyable afternoon. Currently smoking some GH Louisiana Flake in a Yello-Bole Bing Crosby pipe.
GL Pease Cumberland in a Castello Sea Rock Bent Billiard. 
Pops open a new tin! Mac Baren - Capstan Gold Navy Cut in a Al Pascia Curvy.
A delicious bowl of “Derriston” ( half Derringer and half Coniston) in a Blakemar Briars Sir Douglas pipe. Sauvignon Blanc to wet my whistle.
Happy Birthday @UncleRasta! I intend to mail your present on Monday.

Did a second set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the Yankees-Reds game.
A very happy birthday to you, @UncleRasta !
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake in a Juan Urquiza morta.
I wouldn't normally be very interested in a corporate era Barling BUT... this Barling Straight Grain definitely earns its designation. Originally sold at James J Fox in London, I'm breaking it back in with some Miskatonic Mixture from C&D.
