Wow! Quite a showpiece! Love it!
Chocolate and earthy burley is a great combo along with the other complexities from the cig and havana leaf. Good stuff. Find a pipe that smokes it well and you will be rewarded.
On to what will likely be the last bowl for the evening. Winding down with some 4th Gen 1931 in a Caminetto bamboo.
Evening Project - Finding a new Codger. I have two favourite aro-codgers. Anise infused Sir Walter tops the list, and then my old standby, Smokers' Pride Whiskey. Tried a pack of Borkum Riff Black Cavendish, which is somewhat sweetish, derived from an infusion of plum. Smoked it in the McQueen Heliconia, cherrywood, which is perhaps the sweetest smoking of my McQ's. Then later on in my favourite aro pipe, my basic Brigham Tundra. Was stellar in both pipes. Just love this tobacco! Something so solid about Borkum Riff tobaccos, which I can get from my Ontario source at a reasonable cost, as I can the other 2. And, now there are 3.
McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Rubio.
Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. It's time to check on the ferals.
Starting Monday morning with Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69.
Did some low calorie snacking, fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager, and am smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Molly Danger just got a bunch of attention from me while m'lady did the same for Sleepy Suzy.
Best not, unless you want to pet his 5 hungry pals waiting in the bush too. They’re a real problem here in Toronto. People and their dogs getting attacked with the city doing nothing about it. ‘It’s their home too,” say the bleeding hearts. I say open carry.
Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. I looked out the back window before I opened the door, and to my surprise, all four ferals were standing near each other waiting for me, and not fighting. Usually, Abner the Eager is picked on the most, but there he was sitting on the doormat looking up at me. I brought him in first so he could eat in peace. After that, I let the others in. Harry the Hairy ate and is half asleep on the cat tree. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave are in the kitchen, probably waiting for wet food. They are the only ferals who get that, which is twice a day. Abner is hiding behind m'lady's chair where nobody is likely to bother him.
2nd bowl of Haunted Bookshop Cake this time in a DM Stanwell. 
You can blame that one on Kenan Kökbudak. I really like his work.
2017 McClelland 40th Anniversary.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Tomato the Brave got rambunctious. I got down on the floor looking for a book I wanted to read, and he grabbed the top of my head, and starting chewing on my hair. He's never done anything like that before. A few minutes later, Abner the Eager was walking to the kitchen, and Tomato went after him. I got between them, and scolded Tomato, and he ran to the couch. Abner was very scared, and I spent a little time comforting him before I put him on the top of my chair. Then, I fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato their wet food. I had to stand guard so Harry the Hairy would leave them alone. As soon as he finished eating, Tomato ran to the back door, and I let him out. All is quiet now, so I'm going to read for a bit.
Last smoke of the day is Wilke Little Round Top in a straight smooth brown 2017 unbranded James Upshall Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Reading while this bowl lasts.
Good day everyone! Skandinavik Navy for Monday morning!
