I’m smoking some well aged Flanagan Flake in a Castello pi
Nice combo! How do you find the HS Studio Pipe? I grabbed one on a whim off ebay, without any prior knowledge and see a few posts on here from a while back that seem hit or miss.

Jim, neat pipe! "Gaius" intrigued me to ask Copilot about the name:
The name Gaius has a rich history and intriguing origins. It is an ancient Roman praenomen (given name) of uncertain meaning. Some sources suggest it might be derived from the Latin word “gaudere”, which means "to rejoice". Another possible origin is from the Greek word “γαια” (gaia), meaning “earth” or "land".
Gaius was a very common name in ancient Rome, with notable bearers including Gaius Julius Caesar, the famous Roman leader, and his adopted son Gaius Octavius, who later became known as Augustus, the first Roman emperor. The name also appears in the New Testament, belonging to a bishop of Ephesus who is regarded as a saint.
Overall, the name Gaius carries connotations of joy and happiness, making it a meaningful and historically significant choice.

Happy "Answer to the Universe and Everything" Birthday! How did it feel to reach the Day of Enlightenment?!Spent the whole day thinking about what my 42nd birthday smoke would be. Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in my ‘Friday Savinelli’ was the answer the universe sent me
Next is a round of Uno with my wife and kids, and then an early bed time. A fantastic birthday, indeed.

***Update
This is my first go round with Flanagan Flake and I am really enjoying it. I usually tend to prefer light/medium English, VA/Or and Oriental blends. I avoid dark fired for the most part based on my experiences with a handful of blends; but I may have been cheating myself. FlanaganFlake has a healthy dose of DF and I absolutely love it! The way the DF is married with the Orientals and Va in this blend is very unique. I’m glad I rubbed out enough for a couple more bowls!
Drucquer&Sons Merry Monk in Eric Mills cob. Lots of Perique and nicotine with Latakia 
OJK in the Manhattan amber stem bulldog meerschaum.
Yesterday was some H&H Pure Virginia in a Cermak and today is some American Delite in a GBD.
Half way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager.
Love the size and proportions of this pipe.
Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this 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-cards game, and getting ready to have some lunch.
Enjoying more Burley flake 4 in my Sms bent floral billiard.
And all of a sudden, a bird had a different idea for me. I was watching YouTube, so I was able to get a picture just as I was.
Maybe it's time to move my chair.....
