50/50 Carter Hall and McClelland 5100. Northern Briars. Iced tea.
Gotta try me some Blue Note! Devil’s Holiday is great too!
Here in AZ we can “stove as we go”. Need drying time? Pop the lid and just under crispy in 5min!
Chilly today, only gonna hit 90*
Sutliff 1849 in a MM cob.

Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Sutliff Revelation Match in a Savinelli Autograph.
Thanksgiving Day Blend in the Gefapip Giant with midmorning coffee. Sunny day today: finally will get to the first mow of the year.
I think the clock is slow. Polishing off a tin of SG St James Flake and FVF. 1/3 St James and 2/3 FVF, just enough to fill the Peterson 120. 
C&D Burley Flake #1 in a Paronelli.
WhiteKnight in my Dr Grabow Regal bulldog.
It’s another windy day here, but by packing an English blend and cupping one hand over the bowl most of the time, I was able to keep it from overheating. One of those flip-up domes would be sweet on days like this!

A repeat of PS Luxury Navy Flake in a Ferndown Lumberman. This fella on eBay is moving to a retirement home and reducing his collection which involves unloading a bunch of Ferndowns. Lucky me! Prices have been more than reasonable, pipes well taken care of.
I know I’m late, but happy spin and will the good light always shine in front of your lens.

GH&Co. Scotch Mixture in a Peterson Shannon smooth bent brandy sitter B11. This blend has improved over two years from a rather mild blend with irritating edges to a smooth blend with harmonious nuance.
It is 53% Virginia, 17% burley, 7.5% black Cavendish, and 12.5% Latakia. I bought it originally because it was one of the few blends by GH&Co. that was in stock, but now I'm glad I did. As a burley devotee, I value that condiment, and the Cavendish increases the smoke volume.
It's quite dry, requires some relights, but rewards the effort.

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. Been a busy day, and I'm about to have a very late lunch.
Tired from a long day at work but feeling very good now that I'm home. Relaxing with a bowl of Watch City Rougaroux in a Dr. Grabow Hillcrest.
I know a lot of you smoke outside, but I'm not used to it. However, I'm on my way to visit a dear old friend in Scotland, so outside it is for now. Savinelli 815ex for a change 
John B Hayes K2, with some Oolong in this here basket Dublin. It’s windy here, can you tell?
Semois thick cut in a Johs semi-rusticated Lovat, the Belgium burley variant introduced to the U.S. by an article in the NYT, that I never thought I'd smoke until a member of Forums sent me a sample, and when I raved about it, another generous soul sent me a nearly full package. It comes in a dry foil wrapped brick shaped package. He hadn't liked it at all ... and he included in the box a tall tin of Frog Morton Cellar and a handsome Ferndown pipe. I admit, I thought I was hallucinating. Always enjoy a good bowl of Semois.
