Savinelli 140th Anniversary in a Peterson Newgrange Spigot
Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Fed all the ferals. Tomato the Brave ate everything but the plate.
Barbary Coast in a Charatan Perfection 483dc.
I'm enjoying my first-ever bowl of Voodoo Queen in my favorite wee Medico dublin. So far, so good. Not my normal jam, but I'm liking it quite a bit. 
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69.
Another round of Burley Flake #2
Did some low calorie snacking, and have passed the first third of this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I had been looking at this one for awhile before I pulled the trigger. It’s the only natural finish I have in my collection.
Quiet Nights in a GBD Prince shape.
Near the first third of this bowl of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production.
Closing in on the half way mark of this bowl of Wilke Wall Street w/o perique in a year 1987 ebony full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been reading.
Nyala in a Ser jacopo calabash with some coffee.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Had a hard time keeping Tomato the Brave from trying to eat Sleepy Suzy's food. He had his own food in the den, but he decided to keep running to the kitchen to pester Suzy for her food. Six times, I chased him out. Finally, I had to put him outside. He doesn't listen very well, but orange tabbies are not at the top of the Cat IQ list. Everybody else ate without drama.
A quarter of a bowl left of Wilke No. 111 in a smooth medium bend 1938-1948 Pre-Republic Peterson Killarney 9BC with a nickel band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Been reading with Abner the Eager laying across my lap and snoozin' between me and the computer. I'll end the day with this smoke.

HU Louisiana Broken in a Karl Erik Handmade. 
Rattrays Stirling flake in Ser Jacopo Bent Dublin S2…
Comparing Quiet Nights and HU Tuarekh in Kia Nielsen pipes.
Finally a very similiar blend to QN. Tuarekh is a touch more spicey whereas QN is a little darker and rounder. Same elements in both blends but the GLP is pressed and sliced. GLP is Double the price due to being an import in the EU. They are close enough for the HU Tuarekh to be a grab, smoke and enjoy and the more expensive GLP to be a sit and contemplate blend.
