I hope one day Mark Ryan's joint is recognized for how special it was. Quality stuff. Lovely people. Gloria was a pleasure to order from.
I have all the Rimboche blends, and some varietal components, as ordered directly, pressed into plugs and into long-term storage.
It warms my heart, Jim, to see that you smoke the stuff on a regular basis. I'll stop the sap there as it detracts from the thread.
/Tangent.
I am smoking Capstan blue, had a few flakes already. Just like when I first smoked it back in 2020 I find it totally tasteless.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
Smoked mostly Winchester today. Quite enjoyed it.
Enjoyed a small, but tasty Jazz apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening The Third Man starring Orson Welles on the XM.
Scottish Cake in a Tekin.
When George Boyadjiev was making my recent commission, I asked him to cut a new stem for this pipe. The previous was red and had a terrible button. A well done, hand cut stem, makes such a difference.

Work's done for the day, and I'm smoking Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Not sure if I'll end the day with this smoke.
Morning pipe: C&D Night Train in my Stanwell 224.
Rivendell/Old Toby mix in a Savinelli EF 128 Billiard 6mm with Folger's in my cup.
HH Burley Flake in a Country Gentleman
Sutliff 1849 in a Castello Collection 4K.
Starting the day off with a bowl of Presbyterian Reformation in a rusticated Peterson XL02 Emerald P-lip and a cup of Iron Bean Coffee.
Agreed and looks great. My IMP is with Ryan Alden getting a handcut stem. The original IMP stem was less than awful.

Another beautiful morning in Western NC. Sitting here scouting for opening day of dove season smoking some C&D Briar Fox. 
Capstan Blue from a Solomon lovat with a fresh pot of coffee.
