Evening smoke of Rattray Stirling Flakes in an Ashton XX Pebble grain
HU Makhuwa in a Merchant Service Big Billiard and Diet Coke on the side.
New Falcon stem, new Dan Tobacco. Not a huge aromatic fan, but when I smoke an aromatic it needs to be good. One bowl in and I'm already a big fan!
Cigar Time: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic
Briar Fox in a Karl Erik Handmade. 
Currently smoking my Meerschaum Market - Lee Van Cleef pipe with some Trout Stream.
Now smoking year 2020 C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to do a zoom interview about my comic book history writing.
G.L. Pease Windjammer in a Peterson Deluxe System 1s.
Today marked my 500th smoke. It was challenging finding the 'right blend' to mark this silly occasion, but I ended up with SPC Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged in my LCS Briars bent Billiard. This particular blend has been aging in a jar for about a year now and is still one of my all-time favorites. Rich, flavorful, well-balanced, and delicious. Here's to the next 500!
C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a Peterson Irish Harp #53 Sandblasted Lovat with a cup of black tea. Was listening to the tower at Islip Airport while the USAF Thunderbirds flew in. I have a great view of the approach path into the airport from home, which is located in the northeast corner of the area that they'll be flying in over the weekend for the airshow. Hopefully the cloud base will lift soon and they can get up to do their orientation flight.
Kendal No.7 in the Falcon meerschaum chimney bowl
5 year old KBV Byronic Fragments in a GBD poker.
Trying to decide between VA blends despite it being unseasonably cold here. Decided to opt for Capstan Gold RR because it is sitting on my smoking table. Packing it into my Orlik bent billiard.
Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Pickett’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. The interview about comic book history went well, and may be broadcast sometime in June or July. I picked pipes that I could clench while I talked.

Bowl eleven out of the H. Ege meer, stuffed with folded and stuffed 507c to better keep lit in the 17 mph wind. It’s wasn’t ideal, but I still enjoyed it.
Now smoking year 2020 D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem.
