Listing this a few minutes early: Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Half&Half into a dedicated cob with coffee .
Amphora Burley on a rainy and cold morning in a Dunhill shell short Canadian model 3109
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Working and listening to Duffy's Tavern, guest starring Dinah Shore.
Evening smokes of Brown Clunee and Sutliff Elizabethan Match. Goodnight smoke was Amphora English. Good night.
Mixture No 79 into a morgan MM Cob with berries tea .
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
Last smoke of the day is D&R Penhooker in a straight brown sandblasted post-WWII family era Sasieni “Canadian” London Made with a sterling silver band with a tapered black vulcanite twin bore stem. Going to feed my cats and the ferals, and finish this last panel of the Archie story I've been working on.
First a bowl of home blend "Bayou Cream" Equal parts Z92 Vanilla Custard with Bayou Morning, smoked in one of the recent Ropp Géant pipes from Smokingpipes.com.
This blend sat in a tub for a while before I got to it so it was somewhat dry, the Vanilla wasn't nearly as strong as I was expecting but it was still the dominant flavor, with just a hint of Perique coming through. The flavor was very consistent, almost no change until the very end.
Having dried out some it burned like wildfire, which for me is only positive so I consider this blend a wild success.
After finishing this bowl I added a bit of Perique and Kentucky to fill out the flavors.
Second bowl was straight Low County Virginia & Oriental in a Viprati Lumberman. The tobacco still has some moisture so it burned well but not fast (some reviews state this blend is supposed to burn very fast so with moisture I'd say it's just a medium burn).
The Virginia & Orientals tasted almost exactly like unflavored popcorn, not bad but not too full flavored, hopefully it'll make a good base to blend in some tough burning Virginia Flake.
The side profile image of the Ropp Géant on Smokingpipes.com only hinted at the ring grain that fills out the other sides of the bowl, a very nice sandblast.

Happy Diwali everyone, I’m starting the day with C&D Poplar Camp in the Longchamp Bulldog with my coffee. 
My third voyage outside this morning I brought along my Linkman's Supreme straight, smooth, Rhodesian with a bowl of C&D Big 'n Burley.
My mixing bowl contains its latest concoction of two burleys TwoTimer and J-4, one VA (3 Sails) and perique. I've got about 5 more bowls remaining before the next mixing adventure.
