Bird opener smoking some Bill Bailey’s Balkan in an Eltang Devil.
GH Ennerdale Flake in a cob. Glorious.
I am glad that you decided to try an English blend. Let us know what you think!
Muggy monsoon day, waiting for tractor parts so I’m relaxing with my boy-o Kevin having some Hal O’ the Wynd in the fleabay meer.
Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Reds-Cubs game. It's time for some lunch, too.
Enjoying my Meerschaum Market bent apple meer with some Samuel Gawith - Skiff Mixture.
Seat-of-the-pants mixtures today. Started with about equal parts C&D red and bright Virginia ribbon in the MM Hardwood. Not bad, I was able to draw out some nice sweetness and flavor with tiny sips. Past smokes if those blending tobaccos had sometimes been bland, so I think my technique is improving!
Second bowl was an attempt at C&D style VaBurPer, with pinches of white and dark Burley, Sutliff Perique, and red Virginia in the Old West bulldog that @Streeper541 gave me. Well, I keep forgetting that a little dark Burley goes a long way, and it ended up tasting like a cigar. Oh well!

Evening smoke of Rattrays wallance flake folded in an Ashton XX Pebble grain
Having a bowl of GLP Barbary Coast in. Peterson 12.5. I am really starting to like this little pipe. 
Wow, September. Heat wave starting but shade on the deck so it only feels 86 and humid! Rest of the afternoon off, so will sit here and contemplate life’s many mysteries. @doug535 perfect Dublin. And best of “Blue Note” on the stereo!
Savinelli Brunello flake, because I felt like something a little sweeter today.
Trying some Cult Militia for the first time. Man, they aren’t afraid of going heavy on the toppings, are they?! 
Not a bad smoke though. Just not something I’d reach for every day. Iced hazelnut coffee on the side to help beat the heat today.

Starting the month with Wilke Butterscotch in a Peterson System Standard 306 rusticated. :

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a peach on the side. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of year 2020 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 Espresso #9, neat, is my drink.
Kicking off September with new to me blend Salty Dogs in a 1960s Castello.
Had a great morning hanging out with a good friend who also smokes pipes. I had a great bowl of capstan blue flake in a Castello trademark KK apple. Then some Rattrays brown clunee in a radice mini shape 55 with caminetto rod stock stem. And to close some c&d bayou morning flake from 2020 in an Ian fisher bent sandblasted billiard with Cumberland stem. Starting off September right! Happy smokes all!
