Honestly I love the morning pipes with coffee the best. It’s just a great way to ease into the day.

I had a couple bowls of OjK (from my oldest remnants of ~2007) in my new Bst but now I am enjoying the last of my Uhle’s 00 stash in a 1969 253 root briar billiard while enjoying my second mug of coffee… love the autumn air…
Smoking some local American English blend. I’m getting some peanut butter notes from it which is really nice. Using a Lee three star pipe. My buddy is angry he can’t come out here with me.

West side yard relaxing with a test mixture in the TD made in Japan Clay with black coffee.
I have some CS Merriwether baccy that is good enough on its own, but not great. So, I’ve decided to add some Izmir, Perique and red VA to it to create a new flavor profile with more “depth”?
My first impressions are very favorable. The Turkish and Perique add a little spice and are enhancing and evening out the somewhat overdone topping on this baccy.
@The Clay King would approve

A quarter of the way through this bowl of pre-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. All the ferals are eating now, and m'lady is being the traffic cop so I could post this smoke. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Did a set of walking reps under cloudy, humid skies, 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 tapered black vulcanite stem. It's time for some lunch.
