Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess followed me when I took the recycle can to the street, and then laid down in front of me for some attention. She grabbed my hand, and started biting me affectionately. It's weird that she does that considering that she doesn't have any teeth. Tomato the Brave came in to eat, and is currently fighting a cat nip sock. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on m'lady's lap. Harry the Hairy is somewhere in the house snoozin'.

Mac Baren dark twist roll slices. Virgin smoke in a Sam Adebayo bent freehand sitter with dark brown vulcanite saddle stem. The pipe is close enough to the drying tray color that I threw down some white paper for contrast, so you can see the grain.

The Beast 2024 in my 1930s Peterson.
I know opinions on this blend are all over the place, but it has become an addiction.
There haven't been many blends that I literally crave. But this is one of them apparently.
I bought 3 tins on a whim, in case I liked it, not to sell. :)
The tin note could be a cologne and the flavor is unlike anything I've ever tried. Just like when I fell in love with the girl I knew was moving to Korea when I was 14 years old. It's always the things I can't have that I end up liking. Sure there will be more of The Beast made maybe, but will it be the same? Will it be $75 a tin this Fall?
Oh well, at least I'll have it for awhile....like the 14 year old Army brat I lost long ago.

A third of a bowl left of year 2012 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown Algerian briar 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. The rain finally came, and I guess Abner the Eager felt that he needed a bath because he wanted to go outside. The Braves-Reds game starts in a few minutes.

Very cool pipe!
It looks like it's getting ready for a deep dive with it's dive helmet. :)
If you painted it like R2-D2 I wouldn't dislike it.
