Drew Estate Toasted Black Cavendish (surprise surprise, right?) in a Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian, in the semi-ventilated workspace. Wifey grabbed a cigarillo and joined me, which I can only chalk up to either a decent room note or my charming personality. 
9/10
Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco, American crow, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Band-tailed pigeon, Western bluebird, Northern flicker, Hairy Woodpecker, Red-tailed hawk, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, and Spotted towhee.
@Sobrbiker I'm jealous! My nads would be up in my neck if I wore a t-shirt right about now...

C&D’s Steamworks 2023 in Chacom’s Reverse Calabash.
C&D The Haunting in a Wiley Old Oak. Watching The Empire Strikes Back.
GLP Triple Play in my Savinelli 310KS and some Basil Hayden’s neat.
Fresh Director’s Cut in my Castello bent bulldog.
Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of ilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Exclusive in a Radice Rind Lovat. I am then going to have a cigar, a San Cristobal Revelation. 
Sitting in the rain (under a canopy!) smoking some Esoterica Margate in a Mark Tinsky bent bulldog.
Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
A mellow night for me, multiple bowls tonight. Starting with exclusive in the no name. 
Sunbear Black Locust in a Miscoi lovat. Elijah Craig bourbon on the side.
Now some Half & Half / 5 bros, I call it the “sobrbiker blend”in a Cara Peterson 
A parcel arrived a couple of days ago with 3 bags of Wild West themed blends from The Country Squire.
A very generous gift from Robin aka @SunriseBoy
Yesterday’s smoke - Cherokee in an Ann Julie designed Stanwell shape 183.
Designed to take a 9mm filter.
I tried a Peterson filter for the very 1st time. The filter didn’t quite fit - the 3mm gap is very evident
The filtered smoke was very smooth.
I removed the filter after the 1st third of the bowl.
More flavour without the filter, with some “rough edges”
I thought the smoke with the filter was fine, but preferred it without.
