I am just joining the forum. Picking the pipe back up after a few years. I am currently smoking some Haunted Bookshop that has been in my cellar for 6 years. Fantastic!! I am just smoking it out of a Grabow Royal Duke.
Samuel Gawith Black XX Twist (Opened June 2022, so purchased earlier than that date) in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, sword fish steaks and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of KBV Dread Planet 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 123 pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching the Padres-Dodgers game.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed all the ferals. After Abner the Eager ate, he hid under the kitchen able so he wouldn't be bothered by the other cats. Such a sweet, gentle soul. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
I mixed up a batch of Sutliff Sweet virginia cut with Lane 1-Q in my drying box. Smoking some in the Peterson Pub Pipe. The second 1/2 of the bag of Sweet Virginia has a profuse fresh prune scent. Maybe all the flavor fell to the bottom of the bag. 
On Saturday I was smoking my Peterson Pub pipe and put it down for about 15-20 minutes. When I picked it up it was predictably out ... or so I thought ... I was absentmindedly drawing on it on the way to the car and after about 3 minutes it re-lit whatever warm ember was in it just as I was reaching for the lighter !! What a great pipe !

2018 Dunbar in my MarTelo billiard.
Smoking some Crooner in a cob on a chilly night. Went to the antiques mall with my family today and had a great time. Even found a cheap old Kaywoodie.
KBV 2023 Mountains of Madness in a Savinelli Miele 316ks.
2024 CRF in my Medico meer-lined pot.
This isn’t a dedicated Virginia pipe, so I’m getting occasional whiffs of other things, but it’s been so windy lately, I didn’t want to stress any of my regular pipes.

Love it. I have a white Viscount that has never been smoked. I am tempted to take it out of the box...
Finally back in my big leather chair in the smoking lounge after a long afternoon out n about. Firing up some Penny Farthing in this Moretti morta nosewarmer for the occasion.
Knocked out some sundry tasks late this afternoon/early evening with a flake of OGS in a Stefano rhodesian as my companion. Completely redeemed my experience yesterday, foolishly trying to have a half-flake of Peterson flake without drying it. As though I've learned nothing in the four years I've been on here...might as well have just stuffed some of my mustang's feces in the bowl and lit up! Glad to be back on track again. 9/10
