Hello old friend. It’s been so long.
Wilke 524 in this well scorched and chomped beater cob.
I forgot how much I like this blend.
Mcclelland 2025 in the Tekin bent brandy.
About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This finishes my open stash of this particular year although I have more of it jarred. Next time I smoke FVF, it'll be from 2010. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
5 year old Capstan Blue in a Sav panel shanked billiard.

My last for the day, I think. Hyde Park in my Anton & Co. maplewood.
I refinished this pipe recently with cutting board oil. The original finish blistered terribly, like urethane. Very happy with the results, it smokes well.

C&D Yorktown in a Baki meer.
A couple of minutes away from smoking well aged Art’s Virginia in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth Rhodesian meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. The pipe and tobacco were gifts from my late friend Art Arterburn. The blend is 80% McClelland Va.s and 20% McClelland burley. 4Noggins sold it for several years.
WCC OCC in a Savinelli Oscar Aries 626.
Just finished some C&D Virginia Flake in my #1 cob. I wasn’t keen on this blend for a while, but today’s smoke hit a lot of the right buttons. I think the key is to leave it as chunky as possible, no rubbing out. Maybe I’ll buy more of this after all!
Keep your eye out for KBV Sakura if you like cherry, this one is different, comes across more cherry blossom, also slightly Japanese plum like as well.

That looks absolutely amazing! I'm a big fan of cherry aromatics and the floral notes in Ennerdale, so combining them together with Virginias and Orientals sounds incredibly unique and delightful. It's a darn shame they're out of stock, I would have loved to pick some up.
GH Brown Irish X with a pinch of KBV San Valentino in the Altinok.
Pipe Force V in a Jody Davis, dreading the work week but trying to enjoy the moment with my pipe.
Another bowl of Jj Fox Bankers In an Ashton LX Brindle Bent Dublin.
Clan in a clay. Found a box of matches & McDonald's Monopoly tickets for a free bacon roll & milkshake yesterday.
Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production. This will get me to dinner time. Getting ready to watch the Rangers-Astros game.
I’ve been trying several of the different stokkebye bulk aromatics. Ordered up a handful of different blends in the little sampler bags from SP.com. I was a bit hesitant, not really knowing what to expect, and fearing they’d be the stereotypical goopy and wet cheaper aromatic type of deal, but haven’t found that to be the case.
Favorites have been the “Optimum”, and “Pistachio”

Just lit up this cob full of un named tobacco.I think it's a Burley of some sort.
