Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops, sugar snap peas and pinto beans dinner with a few bites of strawberries, chocolate cake and French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Cleaning a few pipes before I start work on another Archie Christmas story.
First pipe of the day on a tasting plan (tasting some tobaccos I've had and not had in small amounts in small brier or cobs), Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a small MM cob. Espresso/Mocha is my drink.

I love this tobacco!

Next tasting bowl is Epiphany, in a small MM Cobb, with the same mocha on the side. Weather remains the same, and I enjoyed the previous Luxury Navy Flake.
Next small MM tasting cob is filled with Haddo's Delight.....so different, and very delicious. Haven't got a new forecast or drink, but I AM aware that I mispelled briar in my last post.

This is rather a fun exercise.

About a third of a bowl left of 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.
Next pipe is a Bones tiny pot, filled with HH Rustica. Continuing to drink my mocha as I note the dry, slightly spicy strength of this blend of Nicotinia.
The weather, it isn't a changin' yet, and so I won't add another METAR.

Late night, Quiet Nights in a Savinelli La Pipa. Buona notte! 
Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Now smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.
Good day folks!! Starting my day with MacBaren Golden Blend in a cob and black coffee
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 72 in an undated straight, smooth light brown unbranded short shank Bing-ish lumberman with a long, tapered black vulcanite stem. Taking a short work break to feed Suzy and Molly.
Now smoking Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to Richard Diamond, Private Detective.
Oh man, I thought I was going to kick the Cob habit and be Cob free. Then I see @shanez lounging by the pool sipping on his MM Cob, and I was inspired... LOL
So here I am with my MM Smooth Diplomat with a Forever Stem smoking Solani Festival!
This is a nice Aromatic for those considering trying an Aro Blend and they’re not sure what to pick! ?
Be well and safe everyone! ?

Oh I see Jacobite mentioned, at Lacewars, loved watching Outlander!
Bargain Booze in Chesterfield, I thought the word Booze was more an Americanism LOL... I thought the English might say Bargain Spirits LOL... Hey Erinmore and Dunhill EMP and Dunhill Royal Yacht, were the first three blends I tried when I started out.
