Folgers Classic Roast in a 1984 FTD Flowers mug paired with Orlick Golden Sliced in a Tusge Tankered pipe. Nice way to start the month and my 43rd spin around the sun.

Today's wind looks like this:
So a healthy pinch of Wilson's Ani Plus it was.

PS Luxury Navy Flake in a Castello Canadian GG sea rock
First smoke for May is McConnell Scottish Cake in a Castello Old Antiquari 55.
Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
First pipe in May is Bayou Veermaster in the Bones Poker, with morning coffee and news from the interwebs.
Such a great looking pipe! Love that rustication!
Continuing with my evaluation of a couple of blends to smoke in the 60th Birthday pipe. Revisiting Savinelli 140° (2022 Edition, No. 1358/2800) in a Savinelli Tre Bent Billiard 606 KS.
So what you're saying is... it's your birthday? Happy Day to you!!
Somewhat against my better judgment I ordered Geometrie by G.L. Pease. You get a plug of tobacco that is a melange of Virginia and Orientals. There was some loose stuff in the tin when I got it, so I stuffed that in the pipe and gave it a whirl. My god was it ghastly. I can't begin to describe how bad it was. So, after a few days I tried again. This time I took my blade and cut thinly along the long axis of the tobacco. This I cut the slice across the narrow part of the tobacco. Then I used my fingers to further shred to tobacco into small pieces. Nothing larger that quarter inch. And then I lit it.
It took a few lights to get it going. I found that I could tolerate the blend at this point. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad. I wish could tell you what it tasted like, but I don't have the palate of the God of Smokes, Jiminks. I can taste "good" and "bad". So, I leave it that it was "meh". I hate myself for giving this such a poor mark because I am a big fan of G.L. Pease and his blends. I was smoking a Doug Finlay 1/8th bent freehand,
3/5 is a kind rating.

Smoking some PS LNF in the Weber Old Standard, wishing all you Wobblies out there a very Happy May Day, just as long as you stay on your side of the fence. 
My last day of a rainy vacation before heading back to the salt mine. Enjoy the day everyone!
