Reminded by new guy @Pipke’s post, I dredged up a mix I’ve had on the shelf for probably 18mo+.
When I started, my buddy bought Haunted Bookshop and hated it, gave it to me and I didn’t like it at all.
I mixed it 50/50 with Barbados Plantation and could choke it down.

So I busted out my “Haunted Barbados” and had some in the beater Lee saddle stem pear (I have a twin of it in a natural stain). Not bad, but I still won’t be buying either again.

The Mrs is feeding the neighbors’ sheep and fowl tonight, Bob and Gracie don’t know what to make of her over there throwing food at anyone but them…

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a 1980, 83 medium bend black sandblasted silver band Peterson Donegal 80S Bulldog with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This is one of the weirdest pipes that I own. I bought it for $29.95 at my local Tinderbox during the Christmas holidays in 1980. Sounds okay, right? The silver hallmark dates it as 1983. Just strange.

Letting the fire burn down after everyone else went back inside, so I figured it was time for another smoke. This time Paladin Black Cherry in the same Crown Jewels pot as earlier. I bought Paladin on a whim at a general store while on vacation this summer, and didn't care for it at all after one smoke. I tried again while fireside tonight, figuring if it was as bad as I remembered it would go into the fire for a cherry tobacco scented bonfire. Maybe it was the ambiance, but it didn't suck as much this time, so only half of the pouch went into the fire. Sad to report though, no hint of cherry tobacco smells came from the fire....

It was a rare two bowl day for me. I feel like a bear stocking up for winter. The first was an early test of my proprietary Two Nuns and a Seminarian in a late 1950s Kaywoodie pot. The bulk of the blend will be tested after I crack the tin in a couple of weeks.

I’ll post my reaction and pictures here once I test the final product: Two Nuns and a Seminarian :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/two-nuns-and-a-seminarian.106600/

The next was home-mixed cherry blend that’s aged enough to be a very smooth, cool burning, really nice tobacco to enjoy as the Fall season in Anchorage starts feeling a bit like early Winter. The pipe is an about 50 year old Comfort churchwarden I modified into an opera pipe.

During our weekly Saturday ZOOM meeting, my buddies and I had lively conversations about pipes, tobaccos, the imminent Las Vegas Show (Brian gave us an update), weather, food, and the usual amount of just plain friendly ball-busting.
I enjoyed my Peterson 68 smooth Army, silver mounted pipe (one of my first Peterson's, a long-ago Father's Day gift from my wife and daughter), filled with "Dino's Mixture" (Full Virginia Flake, University Flake, a bit of 55-year-old Mahalla, Syrian Latakia and a pinch of Samovar).
A mug of Jack Daniel's Blend coffee was my beverage.
