Just passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2022 Prince Albert in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Trying some Peterson Sherlock Holmes in a 2021 POTY SH rusticated 4AB - my review is this is “tobacco-y” so that’s fine by me, but nothing that will make me forego my Wilke No. 515 in the future. I’m relaxing and it’s not bugging me, but I honestly don’t see grabbing it vs. some other available blend from my “cellar” at any time in the near future. 
2017 Pease/SG Stonehenge in a 2017 Boswell.
2021 Cringle Flake in a John Bull... Enjoying it much more after a few months in the jar. 
KBV Van Gogh in the Radice Silk Cut bent. First time smoking it.
I just had a long detailed review typed out but I accidentally deleted the entire thing. An element of it is familiar to me but I can't place it.

Finishing off a tin of Bobs Chocolate Flake in my big ole billiard from Mark Tinsky. Deciding to now open and fill that jar with Ennerdale or continue down the rabbit hole I’m in with KBV blends. BCF is a fine enough smoke but didn’t blow my hair back. Undecided if I would purchase again.
Mac Baren: HH Old Dark Fired in a Meer...
This is the best forum! 
First time tried Peretti BPC (Burley Plug Cut). Stuck it in an old small billiard with stinger. So easy to load. Very tasty!
Still working my way through the LJP burley sample pack... Learned that it does need a bit of drying for an easier light.

12 year old G.L. Pease Jack Knife Plug in a Savinelli Tre 321. And yes, I’m wearing a Carolina blue velour track suit. 
MB HH Pure Virginia in an IMP.
I'd like to be smoking an unevenly thick, dark flake of some FVF I jarred up back in 2010, but the jar is in any one of a couple dozen boxes. Sounds like a weekend project...
Followed the short BPC bowl with a Lightly loaded custom Canadian with the mystery tobacco found with my father’s pipe collection...in an unsealed jar (wood ‘set on top’ lid that is at least 45 years old. Did some gentle rehydrating with a humidor puck for a couple weeks. It is quite pleasant! Light, burns easy. No idea what it could have been... guessing a general old codger burley forward blend? 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steel head trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaned some pipes, did the dishes, fed Suzy and Molly, and Daisy the Feral Princess. Doing a bit of editing/rewriting on my upcoming GLP Bankside review. Still need to smoke more to be sure of a few of aspects regarding the individual flavors of the varietals.
This just makes me want to track down a Radice Rind...
Closing in on the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Today and this afternoon, Lane 1-Q in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard then later in the Savinelli EF 128 Billiard while keeping the woodpeckers at bay. Not in my area but : A Vermillion Flycatcher was spotted at the beach in Nantucket today ... apparently only the third time ever seen in the Massachusettes ...a male from Venezuela ... a big deal for bird watchers.
McConnell Pebblecut in my ODA 840.
Got busy and forgot to post. Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Grousemoor in a clay. It is tasting better to me after some time in a jar.
Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Finishing up some GLP Penny Farthing in a SmithHouse Pipes virgin pot. Starting to color nicely.
