Ready to fire up a bowl of MM 965 in a Peterson Premier System B42.

HOTW in a House of Lords Dublin with a kind of interesting Birdseye blast.

Samuel Gawith 'Perfection' in a Ben Wade 'Walnut' ... I haven't had this mixture in many years and I'm pleased that the new tins haven't strayed perceptibly from the old formula, which, I can't say is true for the flakes and some of the Gawith Hoggarth mixtures. Tobacco is constantly changing as are the hands that make it.

Something new...Haunted Bookshop sprinkled in some Sutliff Barbados Plantation. Pretty good! Nice burn mot too many relights. In my Nording Spiral.

I think I also rediscovered I really like the Sutliff Barbados. I’ve been off aros a while, but this was really nice and didn’t taste goopy. Could be the mix of drier stronger burley from the HBshop.

C&D Haunted Bookshop in an old Italian basket pipe. One of my first purchases 30 years ago. The back wall burned through to the airway leaving a large opening, and it’s been sitting in a drawer for 25+ years. I patched and rebuilt the airway, and now it’s back in service.

[JimInks]

Just past the half way mark on this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank lumberman Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Been busy drawing and smoking as I've been listening to old radio shows on the XM.

3 year old LBF in a Guildhall.

 

[JimInks]

Did some snacking, and am now smoking Watch City Virginia/Oriental Prototype 1 in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem.

 

[trubka2]

Amphora Burley in a cob.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished work, and this bowl of Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is Wilke No. 44 in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted English Rustic 120S Billiard (Comoy’s second) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Esoterica Ramsgate in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Smooth Strand with ️.

Smoking more of this Acadian Gold in the Morgan Bones billiard. I’ve got enough of this stuff to play around with now and me thinks the noodle press is in order. I think pressing this might add a bit of depth but I really am enjoying this oddity as is. Surprised it didn’t gain more traction but I do see how this could be polarizing. Smells almost like green olives in the tin and has a briney taste to it in the smoke. Definitely glad I caught more during the clearance sale.

Today... smoked Erinmore to start in a Peterson. Then had first bowl of full virginia flake in a big Canadian Dublin I’ve never used before. Was great! Both. Went on a walk and smoked quiet nights in my first pipe. A Bjarne Viking. 2nd bowl of that ever. Also good. Comparing to penzance since many say they’re close. Tomorrow I’ll smoke some penzance and see. Then had some Billy Budd in a new but old stock (circa 2000ish) vauen lucca I’m still breaking in. I like to mix it up. All tobacco types.
