Passing the first third of this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
A Mayfair filled with Wilke Rumcake …..goodnight
Cornell & Diehl Eight State Burley from February 2022 in an Old German Clay with a vulcanite stem
I'd probably finish a bowl that small in 2 puffs after getting it lit.

Love that bottle wrap, is it meant to indicate the pesticide or your initials?
The meer is a really nice piece, too. I like patterns and thematic designs much more than figures.
Bayou Morning x Peterson 03 Halloween 2022
Having Ashton Pebblecut (1996) in a 1996 Brebbia SIPIL Selection Pura Billiard with .925 Silver Ring and Cap (Two Star grade).

Insomnia. Having a bowl of Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a MM Legend. No pic, I'm tired of showing off my coffee mug for unrelated smokes. 
Did a little snacking, and am nearing the half way mark of this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Third bowl of Carolina Red Flake in an MM Morgan after an unbelievable Toronto Maple Leafs comeback OT win off the stick of, who else, Morgan Reilly. GLG.
Having tonight, some Germain’s Royal Jersey Dark Cavendish in a Radice Clear Dublin with Baldo Baldi briar, aged over 20 years.
Along with a bottle of New Belgium Honey Orange Tripel.

Don’t worry guys, I’m not joining the Trappists Monks! LOL
But oh boy, do I love Belgian beers! 
This one goes out to @Birddog66
It’s a very delicate VA, with the slightly musty signature style Germain casing.
Initial tin not is sweet raisin/plum like fruity, afterwards the musty smell presents itself. Smelling it gently, it comes across sweet raisin/plum like fruity. But if you really stick your nose in it and really take big wiffs, the Germain musty scent is really noticeable, and then comes across too with a slight rustic/smoky note.
The smoke is extremely delicate, sweet, again raisin/plum like fruity, with the Germain musty casing going on.
When I sip and hunt, I also get sweet bread for the VA, occasionally a nice floral spice, sometimes a very faint hint of citrus and grass/hay.
I haven’t smoked a lot, so for now, the overall notes are;
Sweet bread VA, raisin/plum fruity, with faint hints of citrus, grass/hay, along with Germain’s signature musty notes, that come across also sweet and slightly rustic/spicy, the spice also comes across floral/spicy too at times.
I have a 2021 tin of Tilbury, and the musty casing smell of this Royal Jersey, is like a subtler delicate version of the Tilbury.
This is an all day smoke, fairly sweet, very delicate, elegant and subtle.
P.S. @hoosierpipeguy as someone who likes light VAs, I’d give this a go if you haven’t.

Just finished smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot 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 is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend.

Morning everyone, starting off with Luminaire in a Kaywoodie medium billiard from the MG set and the usual Lavazza Rosso coffee. Have a good day people.
Cornell and Diehl Burley Flake #1 in a Castello Collection grade Greatline "1982" .
These RS pipes have been catching my eye. Where can you pick it up from?
