Currently smoking my Savinelli 616KS Onda with some Chocolate Manhood (Latakia w/ 1Q), while watching the preliminary fights before Paul vs. Tyson.

Cowboy Coffee for the drive into work today and Wilke No.184 (a delicious blend of Turkish Yenidje and Black Cavendish) for the drive home. Watching the fights and cheering for the old dude...cause I am one.
Balkan Supreme in the Hillbilly by a nice fire with some good friends tonight.
Two years ago, I also bought my first Canadians from Steve, a very fine gentleman, Reborn Pipes (!!!).I broke in the new Armellini Canadian estate pipe i purchased from Reborn Pipes in Canada which seems particularly fitting for my first Canadian style pipe.The pipe smokes beautifully and the pebblelike rusticated finish feels great in the hand. It was originally made for The Tinderbox line of tobacconists and bears their stamp.
You posted on Nov 3rd, so I imagine you've already smoked it well. A suggestion, however, is that a great accompaniment would be a glass of Canadian Whisky with a splash of Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
I bet that is very satisfying!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink for now. Cleaned a few pipes, unloaded the dishwater, and cleaned all the cat bowls.
Outta time whack but it's been a long day. This morning I had Bengal Slices in the McQueen Miniature acorn. Enjoyed it so much, I had an early afternoon repeat, in the larger acorn. Both are dedicated to this tobacco, and a miniscule amount of tobacco goes a long ways. Got 18 and 35 minutes respectively, early Haydn Symphony with miniature, and Beethoven 1st with larger pipe. Put in this perspective, it's pretty darn good. Have one tin left - guess what I'm buying myself for Christmas? I can spin a tin of this out for about 5 months or so with two smokes a week. Am in much better shape with Mad Fiddler and Black Frigate, my desert island trio. I'll get at least a couple of tins of Bengal to catch up to the other two 'till early spring.
Only in Canada, you say?
Going for an opera, Bartok's "Bluebeard's Castle", tonight with Mike and a couple of friends. Bringing out the big pipes and seeing the way the wind blows timewise.

PS LBF in a Peterson Aran 69 normally reserved for BCF.
Watching the Mike Tyson fight with some SPC Virginia Jazz in my Old Port pot. Hope Mike knocks the hell out of that punk.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess came in to eat, saw Abner the Eager, and went back outside. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' on the top of the cat tree.
Hell yeah haha! It’s been interesting trying to make something similar to Picayune and I’m really liking the combination of 5 Brothers and perique, it’s like tangy chocolate with a molasses finish. Just a hint of Izmir and bright Virginia.

2003 #24 in my Former paneled lovat.
A wonderful product from a master of his craft, Mr. Gregory Pease. The tobacco reminded me of my favorite Bayou Morning Flake from C&D, very similar in characteristics. All unnecessary is cut off like in Greek sculpture and only good Virginia and precisely verified Perique are left. Simplicity and genius from a master.
