A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem.

G&H Curly Cut Deluxe, struggling to believe this is 100% Virginia, there is a spiciness coming through the sweetness, and sour notes reminding me strongly of Perique, yet the description and @jiminks’s review don’t mention Perique. Reminds me of Cabbies too. Mr Jim can you weigh in?
Either way a very good smoke.

Presbyterian in the new to me Stanwell stamped 85 (pre 2006). The verdict is still out, maybe getting used to the smallish button is key...
Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to The Challenge of the Yukon from my own collection of radio shows.
Smoking some more aged Cabbies mixture in a Danish Freehand
Mc Barens Navy flake folded in a Savinelli Punto Oro Gold 701 lovat
Just finished work and this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum fluted paneled brandy meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter and Chocolate in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum lattice apple meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.
Just finished a bowl of C&D Red Odessa in a MM legend.Very nice blend I was sent a sample by Birddog66.I shall be buying some to smoke and to cellar
First Pipe of the day: Mac Baren Classic Flake in my filterless Savinelli.
This blends gets better and better with each smoke
First a blend of equal parts HH Old Dark Fired (chopped), Sutliff 515 RC-1 and Newminster Superior Navy Flake (also chopped), smoked in a S.Klein Design Lovat.
Second a blend of equal parts Frosty Mint, Vanilla Custard and Gawith Hoggarth Dark Bird's Eye, smoked in a Savinelli Mega Lovat.
The VA+DFK blend was a bit sweet and bready, nicely consistent, the only problem is after my episode with Kendal Kentucky last week I still have a bit of a negative reaction to the smell of Kentucky now, hopefully I'll get over it sooner than later.
The Aro+Bird's Eye blend still just tasted like a strong aromatic and both flavors came through decently well, though I might add a little less mint in future.
As far as I can tell Dark Bird's Eye hasn't affected the flavor of any aromatics I've mixed it with yet but I know for certain these blends burn brilliantly.

Presbyterian in a GBD Sablee Billiard 
A touch of sore throat (strep? ?) courtesy of the 5-yr old, but taste buds are thankfully still working. So, a big bowl of Captain Earle’s Reflections in this big Carey billiard. 
Smoking this all day, KBV Verge Engine Overdrive in my Ed Burak Featherlight, Stacked Egg, Swan Neck pipe. Too bad VEO will never be made again due to a lack of components. One of my all time favorite VaPers.
Drive time pipe is a Stanwell Sterling Silver #29 Billiard filled with 965
