A third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I should finish the day with this smoke with any luck.
What a machine, are you a professional caterer. I use that one once in a year, or so. Not that much into Crêpe anyways.
Mac Baren Mixture in a Sav Tre 321.
Looks good, and also the cat seems to like it. How would it taste without the wine? Did you get some experience with the Virginia before? Where are the blenders in that forum. What can you expect anyway when a tobacco of one kind is pressed?
Just smoked the rest of my much appreciated Perique-Virginia Cones in my home made billiard.
McClelland - No. 2020 Matured Cake in a Radice Rusticated Bent Pot with green swirl ebonite stem.
Cleaned the kitchen window, now watching the site of the hospital, they are stocking up. While smoking Mac baren Classic Flake folded in a cob.

Last nights smoke in the Comoys Tawny Saddle. First time with this blend, couldn't believe how smooth it was for a tin dated 8/22.
Last night, Newminster 400 Navy Flake folded accordion style and packed tight in an Erica bent apple (17mmx35mm chamber) (Peterson system second 302 from 1980's) with an orific bit. Wow ! Slow burning and slow sipping. Still have half a bowl left. Best smoke in this pipe in last 39 years ! Moving this one to regular rotation.
Unfortunately, my tobacco handling skills are limited to throwing boveda 69 into a fast drying jar.
The 500g Virginia that was mailed to me has been completely handled. Maybe next time I will send some brandy or whisky to the local people to replace Maotai.
Smoking Five Brothers in a cob on a chilly Florida morning, coffee and Art Tatum making it warmer.
Good morning all. I've been enjoying Elizabethan Mixture lately, particularly in my Rossi 8114. Be well @Carol.
Sir John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinay.

Now I got it, as I looked Maotai up, it’s a high percentage Schnaps. I had it once after a chinese dinner. Only a few amount goes a long way.
Also the chinese family that celebrated someone’s birthday next to us, halving dim sum, some soup, fish and chicken feet got the Schnaps. They were well on the way, shouting and laughing. They drank a little more. Nothing wrong with the strong Schnaps.
My own blend pressed into a plug, in a Toasted and Broken In cob
How would you rate the XL15? I have my eye on one as a holiday gift to myself...
Early morning break. Having some McClintock Black Cherry in a Victor Rimkus pipe. 
Stonehenge Flake in a Cornelius Manz squashed tomato.
