A third of the way through this bowl of year 2011 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time.
Drying a week-capping pinch of SPC Hogshead (sample) on a paper towel, with a Foyard Beechwood straight Rhodesian prepped and ready for loading. Both sample and pipe are courtesy of @TheIronMonkey (along with the Uno. And the Loch Ness. And the Palmetto Balkan. And the etc.). For the umpteenth time, I thank you kindly! 
Bird report: California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California quail, House finch, Common raven, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, and...Yellow warbler! First time sighting in my 6+ years here in the mountains. Wish it stayed long enough for me to snap a picture, so I could show off my crappy photography skills with a blurry yellow smudgy eyesore of a photo.
Shabbat shalom, and an early Chag Sameach!

GLP Union Square in a Castello 75th Anniversary 33 pot.
Smoking my first bowl of G&H Coniston Cut Plug. I researched this stuff because a few people said it was similar to the original Condor. Absolute BS! However, this stuff is delicious and reminds me more of the original Bell’s Three Nuns than anything else.Apparently there are too many opinions out there that are pure crap, but I’m very happy that this blend is superlative.
Smoked in a straight brown Falcon with a semi-blasted Bantam Dublin bowl.

No work. . . .relaxing day on water fishing. Started with Uhle 300 in Stanwell Dublin. Awesome cube cut smoker
Then 2 bourbons with Ryan Alden stuffed with Wilke 515. Epic pre dinner combo
Enjoying some 7 Seas this evening after a last minute overnighter to West Memphis and back. Loaded up the bowl this morning in Arkansas to this beautiful sunrise, but it was so dang windy it wouldn't lite. Thankfully I still get to enjoy both.
Having some glorious CONDOR Plug
in a Meer...
I really love the look of Eric’s cobs, but he mentioned they start at like, I believe it’s $125 or $150, ouch...
I’m sure he works hard, so he deserves it, I just wish a pipe like this one, could be had for $75, then I could be tempted.
Enjoy it, nice looker!
A couple of Esotetica tobaccos picked out for today - Tilbury and Dunbar.
First up a bowl of Tilbury
In a Bill Taylor era Ashton straight billiard. A substantial hunk of briar.
With that a glass of Cappellano Barolo Chinato. The bittersweet flavours of amaros (??amari) work amazingly well with tobacco.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steelhead trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of Watch City Old Dominion Flake 25th Anniversary in a late 50s, early 60s Comoy’s straight smooth dark brown Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Hmm the idea of a sweet Burley sounds nice, certainly not the hospital LOL
I will have to try this... hmm 
Have you tried Solani Aged Burley flake?
This is quite surprising Eight State Burley in stock.
Cornell & Diehl Pipe Tobacco: Small Batch Eight State Burley
Honoring historic US Burley growing regions, Cornell & Diehl's Small Batch: Eight State Burley showcases the often overlooked nuance and complexity of air-cured leaf, beginning with a specially sourced, matured blend of 2015 White and 2014 Dark Burleys — offering a mellow, creamy nuttiness, as...
WOW long time no see, welcome back!

That is a very unique and cool grain. I recently picked up several tins of the Watch City ODF 25th and excited to try it.
Sitting in a nonsmoking hotel room living vicariously.
Glad to see you back
