A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Sam Gawith Brown No. 4 in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Forgot I had some of this.

A bit of chainsawing and splitting done and fire warming the house. Time for HH Vintage Syrian in my birthyear dunnie 6120 F/T 4S shell and a scotch ale before getting cleaned up. 53F in a tshirt is darn comfortable at the moment.
Arango Balkan Supreme in my new 2024 Christmas Peterson!
I broke it in last night whilst I converted a seasoned cigar smoker and sent him home with his first pipe, some tobacco, and essentials.
Served with old grape juice.

Well aged Wessex Burley Slice in a Marxman Jumbo C.
Zippo with a pipe insert is the only way I can avoid charring a beautiful rim.
Too nice of an autumn day to pass up the chance for another smoke. This time, Escudo Navy De Luxe in a Crown Jewels pot.
Agreed. But, don't give up on the cat. Ya never know, man.Yeah, I knew I'd messed up when I saw his fear after I jerked my hand back and yelled. It was more out of shock and pain on my part than thinking I was teaching him anything. I'll know better next time. He started coming around when my mom's cat was a kitten, along with a neighbor's cat, and they'd all hang out in the backyard together. Initially if I got within 20 feet of him, he'd scram. It took probably 3 months to get to the point where he'd let me pet him, and you could tell he wasn't really used to it, but seemed to like it, purring, and pushing himself into my hand. But when the food/scratching incident happened, it was all over.
Cats are fascinating. I love dogs, too, because they give so much more back in terms of love and affection, but most dogs, unless they have some previous baggage, are fairly easy to build trust and a relationship with. Not so with cats. They all seem to have different levels of desire for human interaction to begin with, and then building trust can still be a slow process.
Now smoking Reiner Long Golden Flake in the same MM Little Cutty from last night. This is a really nice Virginia. I like it a lot. It is currently unavailable. You know what is currently in stock and just as good? Orlik Golden Sliced!

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time.
I think this Is probably one of your most straight to the point, concise, no bs, posts I’ve ever seen you make. Not that I don’t enjoy reading about your adventures
Something a little different, 4noggins Otter Creek in an Algerian Briar. I don't usually do aromatics but I kinda liked this one, was nice smoking something mild after all the in your face blends I usually go for. And it smells nicer too, I should switch it up more often.
Smoked a bowl from my "Holmes jar" of mixed scraps. Trying to finish this jar off, and a couple other jars of small amounts before I open anything new.
Wilke Vermont Maple Cavendish in a Nording Signature for the drive home today.
Some bulk Cherry Almond I got from Aiello's in St. Charles, MO out of my BPK baby churchwarden to end the evening. 
Took my daughter to the dentist and afterwards spent some time playing outside while I smoked some LTF.
After dinner I enjoyed a Toscano Anis Cheroot
BOTL, that's a funky looking piece. Tell us about it.
After dinner bowl of aged chocolate flake in a Rad Davis squashed tomato with cumberland.
