GL Pease Cumberland in a Savinelli Siena 315 while mourning the loss of the Phillies. It was a hell of a post season. Except for the the last three games of the World Series which was a no hitter followed by two losses.

Just finished smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and tapered black vulcanite stem.
I think I have that same tobacco leaf ashtray. Leaf stem a cigar holder?
315 is my favorite Sav shape.
Now 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.
I went to my Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club meeting this past evening at Arlington Pipe and Cigar Lounge and smoked my Castello KKKK Sea Rock Bent Dublin 49 filled with "Dino's Mixture" (Full Virginia Flake, University Flake, some 55 year old Mahalla and Latakia, and a pinch or two of Syrian Latakia and Samovar).
The conversation and camaraderie were, as usual, just wonderful. And, earlier, before the meeting, Jeremy Reeves provided a demonstration and discussion of tobacco blending. Also in attendance was a rep from Laudisi with tables full of Peterson and Savinelli pipes at a discount. One of the pipes was raffled off. I didn't win, but it was a great meeting, nonetheless.

A Dagner nose warmer, filled with Burley morning, some decafe to keep warm
Almost half way through this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Smoked some Tabac Manil Réserve du Patron earlier tonight in my Trypis while running around town. Relaxing now with some Gran Centenario Añejo Tequila after playing back to back gigs tonight. Feels like 2 am but the clock only says 1:00. 
What kind of music do you play?Smoked some Tabac Manil Réserve du Patron earlier tonight in my Trypis while running around town. Relaxing now with some Gran Centenario Añejo Tequila after playing back to back gigs tonight. Feels like 2 am but the clock only says 1:00.

Sorry I couldn't resist.
I play most kinds of music. Classic Jazz, Modern Jazz, Classical, Rock, Pop, Country, Blues, Reggae, Cuban, Brazilian, Argentinian Folk and Tango etc. etc. I've played with symphonies and toured with country bands. I play and teach multiple instruments. Tonight I was playing with an Afro-Cuban group.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend military mount Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem. Finished work for the day.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked.
