Dabbling with Lakelands to see what all the fuss is about. Just tried Grousemoor and 1792 in an Old German Clay Knight and Bishop. Need to give both a second run tomorrow.
10 year old McClellands Bombay Court in a Willmer blasted billiard.
After a big, juicy ribeye dinner i'm craving some good ole burley in a pipe that does that well.
2010 Stonehaven in an Armellini Calumet.

Heading to the hot tub with some Marlin Flake in my pool meer with a glass of Larsen Aqua Ignis cognac.
1998 Erinmore Flake in my Former bamboo billiard.
Another cigar tonight: Drew Estate Factory Smokes Maduro
507c Slice of Heaven in my Radice Rind. Great day on the water for the Lopez Cup. Wanted first, should have had second, took third. Pic at the windward mark which we had to drift around and then hung out for an hour until a lick of breeze came up to put us back in the game.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Fifteen minutes ago, Daisy the Feral Princess wanted to go outside, so I let her. Five minutes ago, hard rain started falling, so I went out and yelled for Daisy. She came running as fast as she could to get inside. Abner the Eager is still snoozin' on the couch. Harry the Hairy is under the deck. I've no idea where Tomato the Brave is.
Smoking the Match Nightcap (aka the Match Evening) in my corn cob.
When I first tried it, I thought it was too harsh or peppery; however, it's grown on me big time since.

Wilke Sweet Street in a Nording for the drive home and again after dinner.
I was still hungry, so I did some snacking, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem.
You must own tons of pipes - how do you choose which one to use right now?
Red Rapparee rapidly has become one of my top 3 favorite blends. So good!
Tennessee vs Oklahoma kickoff Orlik Racing Green in the UT Pete. Finished the game with McClelland #2015 in an Altinay. GBO!
cshubhra, every time I see one of your posts, I could swear I hear a muffled wail of "What about us?" from your Holmes and Watson meers. Just sayin'. 
A third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Pickett’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Just gave Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave their wet food. Tomato and Abner the Eager were having a stand off, so I had to separate them before I fed D&T. Unfortunately, Tomato just doesn't like Abner.
I choose the tobacco, and as I have dedicated a lot of pipes to particular blends or genres, that often dictates which pipe I smoke. For blends I have more than one pipe for, I choose the pipe that fits my mood. I have quite a number of clean estate pipes that I haven't smoked because I can't decide on what to smoke in them. Yeah, I am that picky, and it does bug me a bit about those unsmoked by me estate waiting for me to make up my mind.
The downsides to not smoking pipes a lot in favor of cigarettes and cigars: expense, losing track of some favored pipes, a nasty case of Covid.... The upside: realizing I inadvertently aged a bunch of tobacco. This is some some Balkan Supreme from 2017 in a Peterson Standard System 317.
