H&H Virginia Night in the Musico Floodlight Special...
Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
Ghost of Christmas Past in a Saint Nicholas. 
Pregaming myself! Go Hawks!
Close to halfway mark on this, very good stick and I’m not nic sick “yet”.
Gotta be the longest name for a pipe I've ever seen.
By the way, I've been meaning to talk to you about something:
Every time I see one of your posts your name gets pronounced in my head as "their-on monkey", and I think "what kind of name is that?" until I remember that I had already figured out that it was "the iron monkey". Happens every day and it's disconcerting.
Maybe if you change it to "thesteelmonkey" it will read better. Or just "monkey" and dodge the lack of spacing problem altogether.
In any case, take care of it, ok? Thanks.
Dark Birdseye in a Peterson SH Lestrade.
Well, last night I tried the SWRA and it was good, but I definitely prefer the SWR regular. Considered trying Half & Half today but I popped the tin last night to Sutliff Maple Shadows and it has been calling to me ever since, so that's what I am having this afternoon.
So far just from the charing light, I already love this Maple Shadows. I'd probably love it even more if it wasn't 85° outside right now.

I had a significant PAD spell when all the bents got replaced.... now look!
Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a big golden delicious apple on the side. I'm smoking year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Gold Star Maui Red Catuai, neat, is my drink.
GH Sweet Black Cherry Twist mixed with GH American Black Cherry in the Altinay.
Go Vols and Hawkeyes!

C&D Exclusive in a Randy Wiley Meteor.
RLP-6 in a C.P.F. Meer in a smoking case.
2011 McClelland Blue Mountain in a Pete silver spigot. This blend was very generously gifted to me by @PipeIT 
Quite a lot. The 2014 stash I bought at the time and immediately jarred. It is magnificent as has every single well aged and properly jarred batches of FVF, SJF and BBF that I have ever tried. In the case of the one pound box of 2010 FVF (which was a surprise gift from a friend I had helped with stuff), the man left the tobacco in the box the last thirteen years. The flakes still had some moisture, but the flavor was mostly like it was when he purchased the box.
I hope anyone who leaves Sam Gawith tobaccos in boxes reads this, and jars or mylars the tobacco, or else you will never experience the benefits from aged tobacco. This is the second time I have experienced this. These boxes were never meant to be used for the aging of tobacco products.

Were the cases made so that you can smoke them while in the case?
That happens around here a lot. Member @NomadOrb used have his name displayed in all lower case as “nomadorb”—while I knew it was “Nomad Orb”, especially because his avatar depicted a nomad, in my head it was “noma-dorb.” I figure with the upper and lower case with my user name, it’s safe to leave as is. This post gives a little background on the name I use.
