Smoking 3 Sails in a Bones billiard, drinking butter coffee, I hope everyone is well.

2012 Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake in a Jack Howell Dublin.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Almost time for Mad Dog Russo.
Barclay-Rex Vincent’s blend in one of their estate opera pipes.
Lizzie's Blood Red English in the coffin panel.
I didn't smoke at all over the busy and windy weekend, broke the fast with a bowl of C&D Epiphany in my mystery basket briar last night after everything calmed down:
Not a bad smoke. I was able to keep it lit for several good stretches just by sipping and working the tamper. I'm sure this was helped by being toward the end of the jar, and the drier air outside. I did get some hissing a few times during the last third of the bowl, though, indicating that I still suck at pipes.

Now having a mystery cigar on the porch. It came with a whole bunch of cigars and other tobacciana when a friend sold his collection to me. Supposedly a Cuban, but the provenance is flimsy enough that I'm just enjoying it on its own merits. Also, I wanted to make some more pipe mud -- if all the ash doesn't blow away first. 
@Chaukisch What's the baccy?Yep, from Asterix to Icarus.
The 1792 Flake was a real treat. Great for sipping.
OT:
Came back from a few hours of having a good time, went to a quiet lake that connnects to the river.
I think it's man-made. No music, no books, just thoughts. Brought my clay and cob along together with a tin of Perique/English & Danish style Black Cavendish/Virginia/Oriental. After a while the legs wanted to move and I ended up strolling through the far fields.
My place.

My clay. (The shell is there to keep the breeze out of the chamber)

As free as the wind blows, as free as the grass grows.

I think the "Clay King" needs more of that mellow golden Virginia leaf
Good idea to use a shell as a wind cap; I'll have to see if I can find one the right size.
Might get blown off though
Did a set of walking reps on this chilly, windy day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
Having some aged Peter stokkebye bullseye flake in a KKKK kino era sea rock Canadian. Happy smokes!! 
Enjoying some Chenet’s cake in my bones baldesian in the windy cold.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Magnum Roastery Jamaican Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink. Watching the Padres-Phillies pre-game show as I work on finishing a count of meers, military mounts, silver spigots, bulldogs, Rhodesians, and Canadians/Liverpools/Lumbermans.
Phillip Trypis slightly bent rusticated Dublin x Nightcap on this rainy evening
A quarter of the way through 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.
EGR in a wire rusticated Grabow Belvedere nose warmer. I normally only smoke Latakia blends in this pipe so the ghost is adding another dimension. I ran out of revelation but this scratches that itch
Now smoking year 2014 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a smooth dark brown medium bend year 1924 Dunhill 136A double patent apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Wish I had more of this vintage. Watching the Phillies-Padres game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2013 Brigham Klondike Gold in a Jack Howell Rhodesian.
2019 Warped The Haunting in a 2017 Boswell.
