Erik Stokkebye Afternoon Melange in a gifted clay pipe. This is a really wonderful combination, for me.
2006 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake in a Jack Howell Billiard.
some Condor green in a BBB SilverGrain 701 short billiard
Dunhill Silver Tin & Lovat 1992 private smoking mixture Virginia Latakia Perique 
Wife is out, evening pipe before watching the political tv-series ‘The West Wing’. The series is set primarily in the West Wing of the White House with Martin Sheen as the lead character.
I only popped this tin of 2016 McClelland Christmas Cheer last week and I tried the first bowl in this new to me 1902/3 Charles Maas with the dodgy replacement stem, however seeing as it handled it like a star I’m sticking to it and if the second bowl is as good as the first the two will become one. 
Bet that's tough to keep lit!
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown “rocky” smooth medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Magnum Roastery Jamaican Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink. Time to chat with my Archie editor.
Mixture No. 79 in the little restored Thermofilter, Red Rose tea with whole milk...There wasn't enough space to fit a full length Dr. Grabow filter, so I snipped it in half.
Like for the remarkable resolution of that pic...
Working my way up to full bowls in the new Savinelli 313:
I asked my wife to help me choose which Virginia to open next: a tin of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture from 2013, or the Capstan Blue that I just recently bought. She initially chose the Elizabethan, in honor of the departed queen, but then I told her that Capstan had been a favorite of J.R.R. Tolkien. Being a huge Tolkien nerd, she immediately changed her answer!
I packed this bowl and did a charring light before going to bed last night, and am just now resuming it. My leather tongue and I are reserving judgment until we've had a few bowls, but I'd say it's mild but promising. Not as grassy or tangy as some others I've had, somewhere in the middle. I fully rubbed out this bowl, but read some threads today about cube-cutting flakes, so I'm excited to try that next.

Half way through this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Getting cooler so I broke open a tin of H&H White Knight and stuffed some in this Falcon with a briar Hunter bowl. Dee-licious!
I had a bowl of Old Toby that I started in the Vauen Olaf bent egg yesterday that I never got to smoke (just initial light and a few minutes of smoking. Today I had to run a business errand 35 minutes away and grabbed it as I went out the door. I enjoyed it on the way to and from my meeting. My Vauen Olaf bent egg, since I removed the bowl coating and re-coated with my own pipe-mud coating, has become one of my favorite go to knock-around pipes. The key is lighting it and letting it go almost out then just sipping it slowly for a long time. Wow! It almost smokes as well as my Savinelli 2414KS which is almost 40 yrs old and has always been near perfect. Just an enjoyable smoke today while in heavy traffic. Some days things just work out well.
Did a second set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite stem.
