This morning, Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Enjoying a bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay. This is really good tobacco, 14 months old now. I think it will really shine with 3 to 5 years on it.
WCC Rouxgaroux in my Peterson Canadian.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking year 2021 unreleased Sutliff Black Virginia Flake in a late 80's, early 90s James Upshall P DS Tilshead England Made By Hand L185 Canadian with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Chilling to some blues with a bowl of Flanagan in a Pierluigi fishtail. 
Haven’t had this one in quite a while-S Gawith Firedance Flake.
10 year old McClellands Bombay Court in a blasted Willmer billiard.
Old Joe Krantz in an unnamed apple. Lovely evening to sit out and have a puff.
Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a Dunhill Millennium Shell from 2000
Davidoff Flake Medallions in this “Made in England” pre-war Comoy’s Canadian.
Hearth & Home Viprati in a Tinsky Tan Blast.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking and reviewing KBV B. Frog’s Colonial Reserve 2024 in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Watching the Padres-Astros game.
Good Lord I just smoked a partial bowl of HU The Untouchables......it smelled and tasted like if someone made Axe body spray for old guys. This tin is going to pipe club for proper disposal...
Irish Flake in my Sav 804. Maybe my favorite blend
Meerschaum with the final blending of what I am calling 88s:
A 2:1 ratio of Sutliff 507C to 515RC with equal parts of Orientals (2:1 Smyrna/Blending Turkish), Black Cherry - for room note, White Burley - all in parts that match the 515RC, with just a bit of Maryland for smoothness and burning.
The Virginias take the lead with a buttery taste of the Orientals all followed by the burley and cherry.
I'll bottle the blend tomorrow after it sets in the large mixing bowl over night. From there, I'll let it set a month or so and then smoke some to see how well it marries together. This is to be an all day bend that is easy on the tongue and interesting to smoke.

Back home after a few days away and ... OGS in my Radice Rind, with water and a book.
Half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. It's still raining. Everybody's fed.
