That plateau is insane. Never seen one quite like it. Very cool.
Back home after a couple days away for my mom's 90th birthday! Good to see the family. Now enjoying some Wingfield in a Royal Ascot SUPREME Algerian Briar Bulldog. It is not just like, it IS coming home to an old friend. 
Tom Leach "Hello Friend" always comes to mind when I light this combo up. Cool water on the side.

Thank you, that's very kind of you. If you'd like to see more photos, I've added some more; here's the link.
Sincerely.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I followed that up with some low calorie snacking.
Currently, I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. It started raining and I hustled the ferals inside. Harry the Hairy and Tomato the Brave went out, and then wanted back in, and then out again. After that, I looked out the window and saw the giant raccoon I saw yesterday, but I wasn't fast enough to get a photo of it. It looked as big as a dog. I chased it away and made Tomato come back inside. I called and called for Harry, but he didn't answer. He knows better than to mess with a raccoon.

Very pretty pipe.2019 Simply Red in my MarTelo billiard.

Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s 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. Got a surprise phone call from one of my oldest friends. He agreed with me when I told him that insomnia isn't always your best friend.
A third of a bowl left of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a pre-1923 smooth dark brown early Comoy’s Prior (Gros, Grenier, Ostero & Cie.) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' on m'lady's chair. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' on the couch. Tomato the Brave came in to eat when Harry the Hairy went out. They are never happy to see each other, and it's even money on who hisses and swipes first. This time, Harry did one hiss and took two swipes at Tomato, who ignored him and came inside. What surprised me was that Norton the Nosey went up to Tomato and they touched noses before Norton got scared and backed away. I noticed that Norton had his left paw up in case Tomato started something, but I guess Tomato was in a good mood because he ate extra wet food.

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in an early 20th century Gordon Special Bruyere 49 apple with a triangular shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
I start the day with W.O. Larsen Old Fashioned in a Sasieni Moorgate (pot) Four Dot rustic.
I’ve been puffing on Maverick Landmark Series – Route 66 (Broken Flake, pure Virginia) from C&D in my Mario Pascucci P Rust 2136 (horn ring) this chilly weather. They sold it as sweet Virginia, but it’s more like a Burley sneak—earthy, slightly nutty, with a dry, warm aftertaste.
