Tonight I had four bowls in a row.
#1. Blend 60% Byzantium with 30% diced Newmister Superior Round Slices, and an extra 10% Latakia to keep the smokiness up. Sweet and mildly smokey, I'd say each component comes through almost equally, it's a bit surprising how commanding the Round Slices are when it's only 30% of the overall blend.
#2. A Re-blend of my home version of Revelation, now with more Sutliff Mature Red, plus a tiny bit of J4 Burley and St. James Flake scraps (I can never get those flakes to burn on their own so I may as well blend it out).
This time with the Latakia and Kentucky diluted down it's much less salty and more just savory, not quite as consistent in flavor as the Byzantium/Newminster blend.
#3 Leftover Macbaren scraps from six years ago blended with 30% Latakia and 15% Perique, it actually makes quite a decent English blend despite having no clue what the majority of the tobacco is.
#4. Home blend imitating Early Morning Pipe, basically just Kendal Gold mixed with English Oriental Supreme, a bit of Mature Red VA, and then a small booster shot of Latakia.
Kendal Gold is very bitey when fresh, but now that it's been in the jar for a few months this blend is actually quite pleasant. Just an overall light savory sweet blend, and of course it lights quickly and burns like a dream.
Interestingly even while smoking pipes for three hours straight on an empty stomach it still only took a bottle of Dr. Pepper to prevent any signs of Nicotine overdose.
In general I still don't know if I can identify what exactly Nicotine does to me other than when I do overdose and my head starts spinning.

About a quarter of a bowl left of year 2018 C&D Yorktown in a 1991 Ashton Brindle X straight brown sandblast dublin with a square shank and tapered square acrylic cumberland stem.
A month or so ago, I jarred up some small amounts I had laying around... Just a little bit of this and that. There was a little Mississippi River, PPP, Tambo, Anniversary Cake, Marble Cake, Squadron Leader, and a couple of others. Been smoking it for the last couple days and it is pretty good... In a MM Legend and Great Dane Egg.

I’m following up the Peanut Butter & Chocolate with my regular morning smoke of EMP - this time in a smooth New Standard GBD Billiard
Good afternoon. Plumcake doing the trick on a cold, wet & windy day.
2018 GH&Co Black Cherry Twist in a Partner de Luxe 107 Bent Billiard. Don’t know much about the Partner pipes other than that they were supposedly made in England, an I’m guessing these are probably 1920’s- 1930’s. It was a set in a nifty little case along with a straight billiard.
Windjammer in a George Boyadjiev billiard.
Afternoon chaps, I’m smoking Bengal Slices in the alligator skin Longchamp Canadian at the moment. I have some Rattray’s Bagpipers Dream in the lizard skin Club billiard up next to enjoy on this chilly autumn day. It’s early for me but the sun (what I can see of it) is past the yardarm, so a dram of Woods Navy Rum with a drop of water on the side, looks like I’ll need another bottle soon. 
Good day all! Starting with Savinelli Brunello Flake in an Upshall sandblast Dublin with smooth rim and eighth-bent stem size 3-4. Wonderful smoke in the little Upshall.
We start with another rich smoke. hu: Flanagan, in corn cob Charles Cobbler, and a mug black coffee..................................
Mellow Virginia was a popular one when I was young. Do you remember the adverts for 'Live in Peace with Your Pipe' ?
Noontime bowl of Wilke #184 in a Nachwalter straight grain Billiard with white pearlescent stem.
Taking a break. Having some Fribourg/Treyer Blackjack in a old Yello Bole bing shape. ?
Solani 656 ABF in a BBB Christmas 2003 straight billiard.
2012 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a Jack Howell Paneled Billiard.
Good Evening Folks, Black Magic in a LCS Bulldog.
OHM Red Turkish in a MM spool cob with an orange swirl Forever stem. Nice solid flavor with its Oriental twang. Just addressed letters to my three Congress people, two senators and one rep. No politics on Forums, all politics to the post box.
2012 Astleys no 44 Dark Flake in a Bruce Weaver Volcano.
