Now smoking year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed two ferals. Dunno where Tomato the Brave is because he generally tends to around when it's his wet food time. Watching the Tigers-Mariners game.
C&D Rajah’s Court in a Peterson 03 or 303, can’t recall. Not getting up to go look at the little number on the pipe. Anyhow it was a nice smoke for the ride home from work. 
Visiting my son and his family in Melbourne - not ideal pipe smoking conditions.
A 2003 Cohiba Siglo V instead

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking 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.
Settling in for a relax now and some Rugby, Waratahs Vs Force, local derby. Smoking some more McConnell Red Virginia in a Castello Le Dune #33 with one of Tassie's fine beers alongside.
Last smoke of the day is first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar family era Barling’s Make Billiard 6 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. The stampings suggest 1930s, but the “6” is a previously unknown stamp number as is its placement. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. fed two ferals. Still no Tomato the Brave. Reading while this bowl lasts.
A few minutes after I posted this, I heard Tomato the Brave yipping at the back door. He's eating and I gave him extra wet food in case he needs it. Daisy the Feral Princess is eating, too. Harry the Hairy went out when Tomato came in.

I get what you mean, and this is a point that just comes down to personal taste. Castello is a little more classic -- in general -- with their shapes but they do have some fairly innovative shapes and finishes, too, that pop up every once in a while. Either way, examples of both makes in my collection have shown great internal engineering and both smoke like a dream.
Heading down 12 floors to the smoke spot to catch the sunrise today with a bowl of OJK Blue in an SMS. When i get home i'm going to try some Tampa cigar leaf in various ratios with this, being it is just the base burleys from OJK, and see if i can come up with something interesting to suggest to C&D: OJK Black, perhaps?
Yes! 
!
Good morning! Coffee, burley, cob. Hoping for some much needed rain today.
