And just like that, May has concluded.
Butera Dark Stoved in the Jody Davis dublin.

Currently smoking Uhle’s Blend 44 in a very old Yello-Bole with amber stem. I’ve discovered that I’m most happy with burley blends. Does that make me a codger? 
The last of my Sutliff VA Flake in a 1913 Ben Wade meer.
Prince Albert in a Roger’s Made in London England Acorn so old it doesn’t have an Algerian Briar stamp, but it is.
2018 Wessex Burley Slice in a Castello KK shape 55 with a military mount 
Sutliff 507-C in the Vauen Olaf bent egg with 9mm filter.
Last week some lawn treatment guy stopped by to offer me a neighborhood discount on organic lawn treatment to combat bugs. I explained to him I didn't want chemicals on the lawn (thank you but no); he started to push and I said I don't need it I have catbirds and wrens that nest on the property and eat all the bugs, He said "Oh, then you don't need this" thanked me and left. Today while smoking I noticed that the wrens have a brood hatched in a pagoda style bird box hanging on the garage. They are working tirelessly to feed the young. The male seems to be leaving bugs on the apron for the female to pick up and bring into the nest. But what I've never seen before ... a catbird started calling and walked toward the nest with a bug in its mouth and left it on the apron before the box. So the catbirds are also helping feed the wrens ... I have never seen that before !!! I do know birds of different species help one another when they are teaching the young to fly by acting as sentinels to ward off predators but I've never seen help feeding !! Nature is pretty cool ... P.S. Very few bugs around !
Society could learn a thing or two ...

Once again a bowl of Briar Fox this time in a Savinelli Tortuga 673KS. Anyone else like this as much as I do?
Morning smoke of Bayou Morning in my new Savinelli 626. Lake Erie in her majesty. All is well.
Sansepolcro ‘25 in a Barling. First time trying the Sansepolcro series. It’s hitting the spot on an unusually cool morning.
@PaulRVA, You are a trendsetter..C&D Exclusive in a Savinelli Punto Oro 101 and the last of the Coffee
A Bruno Nuttens sandblasted Bing, coffee to drink.
Jackpot!!!
This is likely the highest quality pipe I own (when it was new) and one of the very best of the best smokers.

Cigar Time: Crowned Heads Mil Dias Maduro
Just Cracked a can of Pennington Gap. Smoking the Lorenzetti Julius Caesar 03, it's a beautiful day, bit overcast but it's cool and breezy out which is nice.
HGL in a chubby T. Mincer era Custombilt billiard with a hand cut Cumberland stem.
Part way through this bowl of year 2024 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. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. After they eat, I'll check on the ferals. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Found an opened tin of Briar Fox rolling around the cab of my work truck Thursday. What luck!
Awakened at 4:00 this morning by my wife informing me we'd lost power from last night's storm. What luck!
Hanging out with the generator, a cold beer, and a bowl of Milan Our London Dock in this Lacroix panel. What luck!
