2019 Sutliff Christmas Spice in a Muhsin Volcano.
Hello my somewhat anonymous online friends. C&D Redburn in a Peterson. The smokes have been few and far between these days. 
Chenet’s Cake in a Chacom Nougat Billiard. 
Rattray’s Old Gowrie in a Moretti Freehand (Dublin)
Bayou Morning Flake in the Castello 4K 23
Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Georg Jensen Orange 92.
Following @Ben.R.C ‘s lead so Tabac De La Semois Le Petit Robin in a Castello KK 10 Old Antiquari and Diet Coke on the side
Prepping a beef lasagna and stew beef from a hunk of chuck for Hungarian Goulash. Needed a break. Chenet’s in an Eltang
Gaga & Hogwarts' "Cabbage Mischief" in a newly-acquired Royal Sovereign oval-shanked 80- Zulu (Orlik second). Cut and dried the rolls for several hours and loose packed the bowl but am left wondering what kind of flame retardant G&H use for topping. Getting used to this stuff could cost a chap a fortune in matches. It does seem to demand a different smoking technique. Cabbie's Mixture should be renamed "Cheeky Periquey" as the Perique steals all the limelight from the Virginia, which doesn't wake up until the third act/end of bowl and remember that it isn't in a supporting role, coming through a little butterscotch as the Perique retreats from full-on sauce au poivre, to brine. In this respect it reminds me of Rattray's Old Gowrie (but unfavourably). Well, I've a dozen more rolls or so to use up from this sample, so we'll see if a broader-bottomed bowl suits it better.
It's a chilly 58 degrees, it rained about an hour ago, and I'm heading to the hottub with some KBV Sakura in my CAO pool meer with a glass of Dos Maderas 5+5 rum:
In recognition of my first full year of pipe smoking, Watch City's Eureka in my La Rocca basket pipe. My first blend and my first pipe. A nice smoking pipe, and this blend certainly held up well after a year. A nice blend to start a newbie on in my opinion. Though a mild aromatic I'm enjoying it quite a bit on a crisp fall day.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
More Chenet’s in a Manduela. I don’t another pipe with this tight of a blasted ring grain. Cool looking.
Williard - still smoking strong after all these years. Yesterdays leftovers.
It looks sort of woven. Very cool.
1931 Flake in the Orlik Perfect Billiard and morning coffee
