Took a break for a couple of days no real reason for it. Now back on the aged haddos delights in a cob.

Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match in a Bjarne freehand w/ a replacement stem. Idk if it's the age of the tobacco or my changing tastes... this used to be so flavorful to me but now it tastes like hot air. The search for the Burley Unicorn continues....
What's not to like...
the Bjarne that is..
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Love that blend. I usually just have it as a treat because I only have a few ounces. After smoking that tobacco its much easier for me to pick out Virginias.
Dark Birdseye in a Stanwell\Ivarson apple
GH&Co Broken Flake #7 in my AND mini-meer.
Great little pipe with a 3/4” chamber.

Colouring my figure meer, won't bore you all with same pipe all week. Had some Red Virginia Crumble Kake, with some green tea.
Sure is.
Even the stem has darkened.
Back to the Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Peterson bent Aran.
Pfeifen Huber Virginia Flake Tobacco in a Rubio.
2021 Kajun Kake in this old Nording church warden.
I guess my stem is nasty

Sutliff Red Virginia in a Castello #33
Mac Baren HH Balkan in Old German Clay billiard. I've had this open for a while, going through all the open English I have to see what I want to keep or not before opening new ones I want to try. While this isn't bad at all, it's not giving me what I want when I want English. This leans more sometimes sweet and sometimes peppery/spicy campfire when what I want is more musky leather (whether sweet or sour). Which is sad because I don't dislike it, but it makes me just want something else.
So far, the toss list includes Presbyterian, Sutliff Match BSOM and maybe Arango Balkan Supreme (need to try it again to be sure). Keep list includes SPC PP special reserve, Quiet Nights and Sutliff Match BS 759. Still on the fence about keeping this one and EMP, there are rare occasions I do actually want them, just not that often.

Finished work for the day, fed the ferals, and am passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave. While they were eating, Sam the Scamp showed up by the side of the house crying for me. I got some cat food, scooped him up, and he purred loudly as I took him to the front porch to eat in peace. He always gets run off by the other ferals so I have to go the extra mile for the li'l scamp. Anyway, I'm nearing the first third of this bowl of Peretti Blend W in a straight black sandblasted circa 1950s Comoy’s Peterson’s made for Peterson, Ltd. in Wisconsin billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Reading while this bowl lasts.
It depends how far north you are, but the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club meets on a monthly basis, often at the Arlington Pipe and Cigar Lounge in Arlington Heights.
