Late start this morning. A Fox woke me up late last night screaming & barking around the yard. We see them occasionally but to date never had one talking trash.View attachment 313938

They make quite the racket, sounds from another world.

Quick break with Five Brothers in a MM Pony Express (I think)

Some Haddo’s for the inaugural smoke in my new Ropp.

Dark Holler in the SMS Big Bent Lattice Meer with coffee. Early morning rain again today leaving the ground fully saturated, with rain expected most days into next week. I'm happy the county extended the burn season a couple weeks.

nice Butz rare and unique shape

Thanks. I bought it probably 25 years ago,like most of my pipes. It could use a good buffing though.

Calabash with a morta cap? How cool is that! Looks great!

It was crazy! At first I thought bobcat? I went out front and put a beam in the general direction of the noise and there he was darting back and forth talking smack and was in no hurry to leave and didn’t care that I was present either.

Back at it again with the same pipe for my afternoon smoke, this time loaded up with Haunted Bookshop.

It's a nice smoke and was a favorite blend of mine for a good year or so, but these days I think I actually prefer Pegasus. They're really similar blends, but swapping out the Perique in Haunted Bookshop for the unsweetened Black Cavendish in Pegasus really smooths the blend out and I think that little bit of very mild sweetness adds something nice to the mix. It makes it not so harsh and abrasive on the throat, and a slightly mellower more gentle smoke.

What a great assessment and comparison! I really like both as well. I could get by on these two plus Briar Fox and Old Joe Krantz.

2nd bowl of the day today, trying out another new Pier Luigi pipe with some 4th Gen Twilight. This one seems to get along well with orientals, so another blend dedication for this pipe.

The pic is of yesterday's maiden voyage with LJP Cuban Mixture:

Good day all! Starting with Peterson Royal Yacht in a Savinelli flame grain Billiard with plateau rim and flattened shank with matching saddle stem.

M80 in an AKB Workhorse Poker.
I got a couple of these for using in the yard and on the mower. This one never could act right from day one so I decided to fix it. Roughly 200 smokes , notice the lack of absorption in pressed meerschaum.
