I'm a big fan of Half and Half. It's like a good friend that rarely disappoints. If H&H were the only blend available, I wouldn't complain.
Great smell and taste that is timeless for smokers and those nearby. A perfect complement to a cup or coffee or adult beverage, showing that classics are a mainstay for a reason.
Enjoy in good health.
Breaking in a new Moretti that I purchased from a fellow forum member. I’ll definitely be purchasing another Moretti pipe.
Nice evening for a light aromatic.

GL Pease Samarra in a Lee Von Erck "A" bent freehand.
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a post 2007 Castello straight brown Sea Rock KK US made in Cantu (Kimo) apple with a tapered black acrylic stem. This should get me to dinner time, and the Braves-Rangers game.
GL Pease Bankside in a meer. Can't decide if I really like this blend yet. What I can say is that I keep coming back to it.
Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Match in a Peter Heeschen "A" bent poker.
Lane Limited HGL, what Lane calls an English aromatic, in a MM cob freehand natural finish (pleasantly prickly) with a Vulcanite stem. My wife pulled an all-nighter trying to do book evaluations on my computer, but this caused some medical issues as she tried to retire at about 6 a..m. So, other than assisting her and getting us fed, I didn't get much done. Duty called. Now I think we're good, and on with the show. She's exhausted and catching up on sleep. I told her we've aged out of all-nighters.
Frankly, even in college, I knew I couldn't cram and I couldn't stay up all night doing papers or studying for exams. I just had to keep up. Assigned a paper, I started my index cards for bibliography and notes that same day. My all nighters were aboard the minesweeper sitting the midnight to 8 a.m. watch in the radio shack in the South China Sea.

Thank you. It's one of Wessex's French made sandblast/cumberland line, sold in the late 2000s. They were remarkable because they cost only about $80 (or maybe less) even though the stems are hand cut. You can still find them for sale online if you look. It smokes well.
After dinner HH Old Dark Fired in a Savinelli
Just finished some more 2013 Capstan Gold in an HS Studio squat tomato. Spiked ice coffee on the side.
Some 5-6 year old WCC 558 Flake in a lattice globe meer.
2010 Navy Rolls in my Ken Barnes saddle dublin.
Deception Pass in the yard cobs picking weeds in the garden
After a long day of building a gigantic stage, I'm settling in with a bowl of Windjammer in a Savinelli Moka straight apple.
Earlier today, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
