Just finished smoking year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Tradition 305 apple military mount with a sterling silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
MacBaren Burley London Blend in a Briarworks bent apple. This is a Blend that I love and somehow forget that it exists for months at a time.
2013 St James Flake in my Ken Barnes saddle dublin.
Another couple of Danish pipes today
1st a Tom Eltang designed Stanwell
1992 POTY - a reissue of his Shape 216 (bottom)
With a bowl of chopped and rubbed out Peterson’s de Luxe Navy Rolls

Kendal No.7 in a Falcon meerschaum chimney
The other Kendals are good, but No.7 is my favorite by far. I usually smoke it after some Pegasus: the combination works well together.

First pipe in a few days. Got called out to New Mexico last minute on Thursday and my flight was cancelled, got another flight out of another Dallas airport, connection was in Houston and they canceled my connecting flight and rescheduled to Friday morning while I was in the air. Well! My inspection window was from 5-8 Am. Not a happy camper. So I fell asleep in the Houston hobby airport at 1 am, woke up at 6 and got on a plane to Albuquerque and drove straight out there 2.5 hours to the site, luckily the site owner had a tech who could be my escort and I still got what we needed. Just got home, and I am so happy to see my wife and the dogs. Hard trip, but I earned brownie points with the boss and the client and got to see some amazing NM scenery plus a cool substation. Now unwinding, unpacking my latest ammunition order, smoking the very last of my tin of Carolina Red Flake 24 in my Pete Dracula 106. 
PS Luxury Twist Flake in a Peterson Derry 05
Relaxing after two wonderful giant pork chops and mashed potatoes dinner. Dessert was an ice cream sandwich, a couple of oatmeal raisin cookies, and some pecans. My drink was a bottle of Boylan's Birch Beer. After that, 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. The ferals are in and eating.
About to light up my Savinelli 616KS Onda with some GL Pease - Gas Light from 2014, while watching the UW vs UCLA football game.
Now smoking year 2013 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching Entertaining the Troops which is about Hollywood stars in World War Two. Daisy the Feral Princess ate and is by my feet. Harry the Hairy and Tomato the Brave ate and went out. Norton the Nosey is snoozin'. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

@Goblin_Walrus Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your travel nightmare. Cool pics -- reminded me of Arizona (where my folks live).

Tonight: Peretti Dutch Chocolate
with cigar leaf tossed in, in a Vermont Freehand Cherrywood Morta. Wow, the cigar leaf really fixed up this Dutch Choc. The leaf does more for the Dutch than for the Coffee Blend (which is actually great on its own anyway). This tastes like a chocolate-y cigar, in a good way. The Dutch went from mediocre to excellent.
With all the schnazzy pipes lately, feels boring trotting out my little cherrywood ...
(JK love my pipes)
Ginger Turmeric Chai Black

Now smoking 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. Daisy the Feral Princess went out ate a light nibbling on dry food.
GLP Charing Cross in a Don Carlos One Note Melos barrel.
Listing this a few minutes early: year 2014 FVF in a straight smooth dark brown 1896 W.H. Newman, Ltd. billiard with a sterling silver band and a tapered yellow and orange stem with white swirls and an orific bit.
Yep, New Mexico is my favorite state. Though, love the landscapes of any Rocky Mountain state. Probably because I've never lived in a state with mountains.
