Didn't post yesterday, forget now what I smoked, but cleaned the pipes yesterday too. Having some OJK in the Chacom and it's much better this time than last time.

I think I need to get another three pipes that are dedicated to just English lat blends and keep these dedicated to burley and virginias, maybe dedicate my 9mm Lorenzetti to aromatics (mainly because I don't smoke aros often and filter pipes are a pita to have to break down every smoke to clean out the gaping hole made for the filter). I clean all three of my pipes once a week (not a deep clean, but deeper than my daily use post-smoke cleaning, IE. hitting the mortise and shank with alcohol and cleaning the stems with alcohol, which is basically every 1-3 smokes due to rotation), primarily because I smoke everything in everything I have. None of the pipes ever truly gets a ghost, but they get "colored" close to the end of the week. That first clean smoke though... mmm.

Discovered I lost enough weight to enjoy an off-diet day, so I had a big salad, big ham, cheese and tomato hogie with strawberry/peach cobbler and vanilla ice ice cream for dessert. I'm almost finished smoking first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Larry's El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-A's game.

Now smoking Sutliff English Oriental #400341 in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a tapered black acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend as I watch the ballgame.

Listened to the Braves-A's game as I did a second set of walking reps, and smoked the last of this tub of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Trying to decide whether or not to open a bag of this blend for more walking smokes or move onto A.P. Rimboche. Or do I go back to the Suliff VaPer and Savinelli and smoke that up?
