Afternoon Smoke: McConnell Flake in a 1975 Dunhill Shell Dublin (small Group 4 sitter), along with my handy Rodgers of Sheffield pipe knife and 1950's Nimrod Commander pipe lighter
2019 D&R Cockstrong in my Eltang. I really like this blend. A nice balanced Burley/Oriental/Virginia. Not as strong as the name might lead one to surmise. The straight C&D Dark Burley I was smoking yesterday packs a serious nicotine wallop compared to this, which is merely strong and delicious.
Days like this are precious this time of year. Took my daughter to the playground and the weather is almost summer-like. The smell of dead leaves all around, the warm breeze, the sound of children playing...it transports me back almost 40 years. The changing seasons always make me feel nostalgic.
Leaves all turned yellow
Now falling like gentle rain
Wafting time machines

Not far from finishing this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Aaron Judge did not hit #62 today. Maybe he will in the nightcap.
Its been a minute. Finally some downtime to enjoy some Orlik Golden Sliced outta my cob.
Finishing a bowl of 2012 Escudo in a Jack Howell Billiard.
Received a box of old pipes this afternoon. This is one of them, a no name, stamped St. Claude, a kind of clay-shape, with a long thin stem, obviously not made of ebonite (no signs of the obligatory sulfur stuff) nor acrylic.
A nicely reamed bowl, still a slight smell of some burley, a stinger which I took out, the stem heavily chewed on. Loaded it with P-Cake, lots of Perique, a rest of Samuel Gawith 1792 and some university flake out of the same glass to keep the leftovers in smokable condition.
The pipe smokes perfect, like breathing, can image why St. Claude was the most reliable place in pipe production in former days. Cool smoke because of the long stem. Have a nice evening, gents.

The last of my Solani Red Label in a Vauen. Great aromatic but I wont be getting any more for now.
Peterson Navy Rolls in an old Grabow. There were a few moments of wow, a puff of yuck, and a large in between of MEH.
Now smoking Jim's Va/Bur #2 in a 2020 medium bend sandblasted burnt umber Peterson Irish Harp XL90 billiard with a silver band and a tapered reddish brown with black stripes acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
A new one to my ongoing theme of “x tobacco in an x pipe”
Today I am smoking Comoy’s Cask No 4 in a Comoy’s Golden Grain Squat Bulldog
I have quite a few of these (Most common ones and a few uncommon ones)
1. Dunhill tobacco in a Dunhill Pipe
2. Peterson tobacco in a Peterson Pipe
3. Savinelli tobacco in a Savinelli pipe
4. Sasieni in a Sasieni
5. Amphora in an Amphora
6. Macbaren in a Macbaren
maybe a few more that I cannot remember at the top of my head.

Going to do a gift combo this evening before we head to Brooklyn—going to have Country Squire Old Toby (thank you @Copernicuslyrun !) in a Briarcraft Tuffy Slightly Canted Billiard (thank you @scloyd !)
The Tuffy is quite small (here it is, next to a Savinelli 320 KS for scale).

Now enjoying some Watch City Rouxgaroux in my Big Ben Ranger. Drinking some Lion Bridge "Oktobot 3000" with it -- a barrel-aged imperial Oktoberfest-style beer that is just amazingly delicious.
Now smoking 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. Cleaned a bunch of pipes, and am getting ready to watch the Braves-Marlins game.
