Balkan Sobranie 759 Match in a Jeckyl & Hyde Peterson.
HU Tobacco - Flanagan Flake in a Dagner Cob and a Cup of Joe.
@simong I think St Bruno is well suited to clay pipes; I've lost count of how many packets of St Bruno I've smoked in my clays.
Sillem's Mayor 1814 Flake in a Michail Kyriazanos bamboo.
Summer is here! Afternoon thunderstorms moving through. University Flake in this cob. One flake folded and stuffed. Some loose rubbed out on top. What a great and very long smoke! Green tea accompanying.
Almost half way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Been reading court documents regarding the Steve Ditko Estate suing Disney/Marvel about copyrights and profit participation. I knew and worked with Steve Ditko, and though he passed in 2018, I hope his estate gets a fair judgement. No matter what Disney/Marvel/the late Stan Lee claim, Ditko totally created Dr. Strange. Lee used to admit this in the 1960s.
Warped saint espresso. Either I got better at packing overnight, or there’s some magic happening. I have no trouble keeping this lit. Still don’t like aromatics but for what it is, it’s an alright blend.
Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a 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.
Going to have Savinelli 140° (by Cornell & Diehl) in my 60th Birthday pipe: the unfinished, natural, sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Extraordinaire (Eccezionale) Fan*. I’ve opted to dedicate this blend to this pipe. Thanks to @Copernicuslyrun for helping me stock up.

Bill Bailey's Balkan Blend in a pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Rhodesian.
Needed something sweet, so I'm having a bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Cornell & Diehl Sun Bear Black Locust from June 2021 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Out in a beautiful day, with my bow and my dog, flanging arrows at random stumps, bushes, old cow bones, etc. Brought my favorite MM cob and Shepherd's Pie for my next break. Lovely, peaceful day. 
Smoking some Half & Half in a Dunhill Shell billiard.
Half way through this bowl of 1980s Von Eicken’s Dark Flake Navy Cut in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.
