C&D House Reserve Spring 2023. A wonderful Burley, Virginia, and Cavendish ready rubbed blend, In an Eric Nording Freehand. I have 4 of these pipes and absolutely love them.

Cornell and Diehl River Boat Gambler in this Chacom "Stand up" Billiard. 
SG Firedance Flake in my MM Morgan.
Relight city, but it’s tasting absolutely delicious when it’s going.

You have some of the coolest Peterson pipes, man. Always love seeing them.
Friday Night Parfait in a Stanwell 63 (smooth):
Top 1/3 = well dried, almost crispy, Burley mix
Bottom 2/3 = Mac Baren Navy Mixture (not Flake)

Took some Peterson Sherlock Holmes for a walk, smoking it in my Sherlock Holmes Dark Smooth Lestrade.
Nice weather, calm air — feels like the last warm days before autumn. The blend behaves just as expected: refined and quietly elegant.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. The Tigers-Mariners game is in the 13th inning. Tomato the Brave came in to eat, and play in the cardboard box. I let Harry the Hairy in, but as usual, he just nibbled a little. He probably was distracted by the noise that Tomato was making because he came to the den to see what was happening. After some attention from me, Harry wanted out. Daisy the Feral Princess is still by my feet.

Thank you. It took years. I’ve really slowed down acquiring, now I just smoke them and enjoy them.
Correction: @ashdigger has the coolest Peterson pipes.
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2014 Esoterica Tilbury in a straight smooth Danish gold straight grain undated W.O. Larsen Hand Made in Denmark dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Daisy the Feral Princess went out as did Tomato the Brave. The Mariners won in the bottom of the 15th. I knew they would once the Tigers put Kahnle in to pitch.
Half way through 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. Spending my time reading with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Earlier, she was half snoozin' and half put out when I gave Tomato the Brave a little play time.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69 .
Low Country Natural Virginia and Burley in a Mastro Geppeto Eximia. 
Enjoyed a red delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of 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.
McClelland Three Oaks Syrian '10 in a Sav. Punto Oro 207.
Half way through 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. With luck, I'll end the day with this smoke. Fed Harry the Hairy who wanted back out right away. Dunno where Tomato the Brave is, but I hope he shows up before I finish this bowl. If he doesn't, I know he ate very well when he was inside not long ago.
Tomato the Brave showed up just before I finished my last smoke, so I picked a small pipe for my last one of the day: year 2021 Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. He ate a lot, and just laid down on the couch, so he'll likely sleep in as will Daisy the Feral Princess.
Took my Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2127 and a bowl of C&D Sunday Picnic for a city walk. A perfect pairing — smooth, balanced flavor and the calm rhythm of the streets.
