Didn't sleep much, so I figured I'd have a bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

University Flake in a Erik Nielsen 
A little defibrillation this morning; Arango Balkan Supreme in a Vauen Olaf bent egg with columbian coffee and cream ... almost awake ... another cup should do it ... 
Samuel Gawith Spring Time flake in a MM pride with a loose shank.
WCC Glass Slipper in a Scottie Piersel 2020 NASPC Author.
Good morning all. Regent's Flake in an unfinished Savinelli 207.
Va Jazz in a Ferndown, then this Castello
Just opened a tub of Prince Albert. Went with the Country Gentleman this morning. Now I’m just sitting here wishing I had some neighbors so I could yell at some kids to get off my lawn.
Have you tried any of Boswell's aromatics? My favorite are No Bite Delite and Christmas Cookie, but many are good. Like you, I smoke mostly non-aros; but, when I do smoke an aro, I'm impressed with Boswell's above most others.Virgin smoke in my brand new Savinelli that my wife bought me. This was a huge step for her to support my pipe smoking habit in any way. She picked this pipe out all by herself with no guidance from me, and I think she did a great job. To be thoughtful to her, I decided to devote this pipe to Aromatics so that she may enjoy the smoke as much as possible. I could think of no better tobacco than Molto Dolce. Don't tell @cosmicfolklore that I am smoking this 'goopy aromatic', he will tease me unmercifully!!
When I lit it up, I got my first positive smoking comment from my beautiful wife of 32 years - "That on smells good".

I'd be glad to support your marriage by sending you some samples ;-) PM if interested!
Germains Mixture Number 7 for an excellent price
Some St John’s Flake in the Altinay dragon while watching Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, almost through season 2.
The man is to me brilliant, the story he can tell and emotions he can bring to life through his characters and minimalist style is something to behold. I liked all of his other stuff and really liked Samurai Jack but Primal is on an entirely different level.
Nuremberg, standing trial is my HCA Stanwell with the convertible and Germaine’s Mixture 7
The tobacco prices in Germany have been very reasonable, although I was only allowed to buy one tin of this tobacco at a time. The 100 g tin only cost me $19 euros.
For those who are curious about trip costs, I use a highly discounted travel company for many of my travels. This 18 day cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest is only $4300 per person. That includes airfare from Palm Springs, extra hotels, and nearly every meal and land tour at each city. The tour is day to day mirroring the Viking tour that is compatible only thousands and thousands less.
I would recommend this outfit for anyone who wishes to travel and do so inexpensively.

Some well-aged Escudo Navy Deluxe in a dedicated Savinelli
Elizabethan Mixture in a Castello sea rock
Enjoying some Sutliff's Crème Brulée in a GBD Prodigy Naturel Oom Paul. A very smooth, pleasant morning smoke. As Jimlnks says in his review, "The very smooth, deeply rich flavor is consistent to the finish with the vanilla mostly taking center stage."
Turned out I need to round off the working day with some Ascanian No 2 in a Stanwell Vario Army Mount.
The Fiskars scissors in the picture for smaller amounts, for larger quantities I roll it in a tight log or press it and use a big kitchen knife and cutting board. I've been looking at those hand cranked shredders though, I might get one.
