Now smoking and reviewing Watch City Strange Magic in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I've got some of those layin around
Rouxgaroux in a Peterson Jekyll and Hyde 307
L.J. Peretti British in a Celebi Meerschaum with a cup of Black tea while the Cider braised pork shoulder finishes doing it's thing in the oven. Serving with Sage butternut squash and polenta.
late evening smoke of something stronger but smooth S&G 1792 flakes folded in a Jeantet lithe billiard model 701
Esoterica Tilbury in my Savinelli 320 KS.
Vintage Iwan Ries' Dr. Bradley Mixture in a new-to-me estate Savory's smooth briar Robin Hood, shape 257, with a bowl approximating the Dunhill Group Three size. I am not certain what the correct description of this shape is. It's not a billiard; the stem is longer than the bowl is high, and the bowl is canted slightly forward. A lovat, perhaps? Any guidance will be appreciated.
Regardless, this pipe handled the tobacco like a dream, allowing me to smoke it to the heel with nary a gurgle! A delightful inaugural smoke.

They ight. I'll enjoy them.
I've heard good things about 'em. People saying they are actual Oliva cigars, and not seconds.
Cigarpage had 16 cigar bundles for 24 dollars, plus free shipping. I was like a moth to a flame. Haha
I experimented with Sutliff 507-C today in the Vauen Olaf bent egg then in the Pete Pub pipe both with 9mm filters. I usually smoke it folded and stuffed. Today I rubbed it out. Folded and stuffed lasts longer and brings out additional subtle flavors. Rubbed out is better for slow sipping and has a more bread/hay flavor. I prefer folded and stuffed of the two methods but both are fine.
The weather was too nice to not be outside smoking a pipe, and the radio conditions were too good to not be on the air. So I set up a station outside and combined both pastimes. Made a lot of contacts with this little setup with great propagation.
Enjoyed a bowl of Peterson Early Morning Pipe in a Crown Jewels Pot while playing radio. It's becoming clear now that English blends are going to be a thing for me.

Enjoying some Haddo’s Delight in this Stephen Downie oom paul.
Billy Budd in a Savinelli Roma Lucite 622
A third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Tomato the Brave was at the door ready to eat, which he did. Now, he's in his comforter.
Royal Yacht in my Merchant Service Short Dark Cutty
Smoked some Super Value Mellow on the way into work this morning (it sucked...the Wilke aros have spoiled me). Had some Wilke LIPC Long Island sound for the drive home. Contemplating what to smoke after dinner.
Autumn Evening in a Nording. I went full fall and paired it with some apple brandy, which turned out to be a great idea.
