I ran out of my favorite brand of Columbian Coffee (they are not all the same) so I had to run to the grocery store, which has been out of it, to pick an alternative. I bought a more expensive alternative but I believe it is the same coffee -- I'll know tomorrow morning. If you don't hear screams it is the same. The next time the store get my coffee in I am buying a case or two of it to 'cellar'.
On the way I had a 1/2 bowl of Lane 1-Q in the Vauen Olaf bent egg to calm my nerves. Country Squire Old Toby will always be my #1 favorite but sometimes I need something less sweet and Lane 1-Q is definitely in the second spot. I really enjoy the flavor. To me it is like (but not same as) mixing Newminster 400 Navy flake and some Old toby together. I will be ordering more in bulk shortly and maybe some more Newminster 400 as backup. And the Vauen Olaf has turned into a near perfect pipe for me as well.

Some 2020 Irish Flake from a C Martin sandblast. 
It is very apparent you enjoy bird watching.That they do!
Drying some P&C Match Hickory on a paper towel for lunting today, to go in my MM Country Gent. Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California towhee, House finch, Common raven, and Dark-eyed junco. It's early, though.
Still waiting for Dave Roberts to get his walking papers from Dodger management...
Have you looked into the Birds of a Feather line by Sutliff? It's a series of about 6 different blends designed by Georg Jensen with a different bird on each tin, which will be released over one year.
The tin art is done well. May be worth checking out.
Yes, I've checked out the tin art. Very intricate! Part of the reason I'm one of those weirdos who prefers looking at tins to pipes is my appreciation of the beautiful tin art. As you can imagine, the stupid health warnings bummed me out more than the average guy!
Drew Estate is still my favorite, though:
Hope you had the foresight to wash it all down with some Newcastle...
Warrior Plug in the ODA tonight.
Just finished a long, enjoyable bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a smooth brown 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic saddle stem.
Rattray’s Exotic Passion in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX
Went back for another bowl in the Orlik. A scoop of Ed saw me through the rest of the morning 
C&D Burley Flake No 2 in a Savinelli Capri Root Briar 624
A bowl of Stockton from 2020 tonight, along with a fire in the woodstove and my four legged best friend, Lily Belle.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching a documentary on Napoleon.
Was In the mood for some Christmas Cheer in a new Baglan merry.
Relaxing to the rain bounce off my car with a bowl of Wilke 515 in a Peterson 312 smooth standard pipe.
Now smoking 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in an early smooth brown Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend bulldog with a bamboo-style carving on the shank with a two dot black acrylic stem.
