Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Thanks man! It's been a little neglected lately. I need to correct that!
GLP Samara in this lovely paneled Ropp for a nightcap
Not really expensive,and one of my best pipes.I use a 9mm charcoal filter which makes a difference for me when I smoke the pipe.
Cornell and Diehl River Boat Gambler in this Billiard with saddle bit from the Connoisseur pipe shop. 
Now smoking year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I let Harry the Hairy back in, and he's bored, but behaving. Molly Danger is snoozin' on m'lady's chair. Daisy the Feral Princess is by my feet after her wet food meal. Tomato the Brave came in and out.
Trying to get an early bed tonight...but first:

This afternoon PS Luxury Navy Flake n the Vauen Olaf bent egg and tonight some Sutlffe 507-C I purchased from member @Kingsley from the sale thread, in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard. I know the guy who makes it says they are the same but they aren't. They may be the same base tobacco but the 507-C has a citrus/tea flavor and is lighter. The smoke is lighter as well. The LNF is a stronger creamier darker tobacco flavor and the smoke is thicker. Just my lowly opinion smoking them on the same day. The LNF burns slower as well.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a '24 Peterson Christmas Sandblasted X105. 
Having Coniston Cut Plug in a cob with water. 
A minute or two away from smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Kaywoodie with Lazy Bones. Smoking a pipe under clear skies in the southwestern desert in a land free of the wonders of Moroccan tea and bustling street markets full of men and women eager to sell silver plated copper teapots while sitting on handmaid Berber Rugs. This is a land that might sound like Nirvana to a Spanish Pipe smoker just trying to enjoy a glass of bourbon and a nice smoke without being bothered by those who think Spain should return to what it was in 900 AD. Am I right @JOHN72. Either that or start importing Burritos and Margaritas. Either way, Gibraltar remains in the hands of England. Until then, here's to enjoying a nice plate of tapas and getting ones feet wet on the Costa Del Sol.

Oho! Good question. Different family and professional obligations have kept me from messing with it, but that is partially by design. The chunks are sitting in my somewhat-humidity-controlled closet-turned-cellar slowly drying out, and I reckon I will pull them out sometime before the end of the year. They were already pretty dry, but then got some rain in the field before I could get them to my table saw etc. so I wanted to give them some time to dry out before I did anything drastic. I’m thinking about taking some even older stuff we have in the shed and trying that out first, it ought to be pretty dang dry. I will keep you posted!You're not joking, but man is it delicious. "Bourbon and chocolate milk" sounds about right! I gained 5 lbs just from the aroma ...
Hey, have you messed with the mesquite wood any more?
My dear friend Douglas. Today, in my little town, we have Californian temperatures, perfect for drinking tequila and eating burritos. But I have to settle for a kebab, Moroccan tea, and some datiles.
Paradise is only a few nautical sea miles from this point. We could have some tea and a nice smoke and be back before noon.
