Captain Black in another new clay.
So far I like it. These tiny bowls certainly don’t last as long as my larger meer.

Half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Too humid for coffee tonight.
Breaking in a brand-new Neerup pickaxe with some C&D Autumn Evening (on this warm spring evening)
It's quite the little beast... Hefty chunk of briar almost 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide. The chamber is 7/8". The biggest pipe I have by quite a margin.

Ennerdale Flake in a Tom Eltang Blasted Apple for today. Every time I smoke Ennerdale I always am amazed how good it is. I need to pick up a pound of it.....
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave, and am off to the studio with a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
McClelland Matured Virginia 22 in a Castello Trademark Canadian. Cranberry/Cherry juice for a drink. LG
Did a little snacking, and am close to finishing this bowl of Peretti Blend W in a straight black sandblasted circa 1950s Comoy’s Peterson’s made for Peterson, Ltd. in Wisconsin billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
No name Lovat with the Dominican stuff…..
Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, and am going back to work with a bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Smoking this morning from a new small batch of "Frankenstein" mixture (selfmade from scraps and leftovers of 4 tobaccos, put together in a vase). This "never know what to expect", fusion, mix&match type of tobacco is for me always interesting despite (or probably thanks to) its contradictions and it has never failed to satisfy me.
Sometimes I think about buying a large sealed vase, empty 4-5 pouches or tins in it, transfer a quantity to a smaller vase for everyday's use, smoke only that and let the "other story" end... We' see.
In a MM Corncob pipe.
Have a nice Tuesday good people!

While my wife worked in the garden on a gorgeous afternoon, sunny, warm, bright, I smoked a Micallef Torcedores Churchill.
She and I shared three tumblers-full of bergs, Bombay Sapphire Gin and Fever Tree tonic, before the whole family, my daughter, son-in-law and the grandkids, enjoyed a Memorial Day barbeque. We made a point of taking a moment of prayer and remembrance of those who made it possible to enjoy the freedoms for which they fought.

Finished this Little Archie story, and this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Time for an apple.
Davidoff - Royalty in a Savinelli Capri Root Briar 509.
A third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.
G.L.PEASE Quiet night in a eltang bamboo poker
Last smoke of the day is 2019 Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Time to feed the ferals, and read baseball box scores.
Well, I fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave a few minutes ago. Just went back out to take out the garbage, and saw one of them left me a dead mouse on the door mat. This makes two days in a row. I suspect it was Daisy, but I don't know for sure. Daisy is still outside, but Tomato's off doing something somewhere. Guess one or both really are grateful. Or maybe they like to trade?
