Also, it was cigar time after lunch when I smoked a Drew Estate Java Maduro

Working on a bowl of St James Flake in a Bellezia freehand while waiting for the chicken soup to reheat.
4noggins' Beck's Ol' Limey Bastard in a Bjarne Viking Classic. This is one of the tastier blends I've tried recently and now I know why some of y'all buy by the pound.
St Bernard Flake in my Ken Barnes billiard.
Sun Bear Black Locust in a Miscoi Lovat.
I’ll get a pic of the speedo on my scooter in triple digits for ya when it gets under 100* around here, but there won’t be a pipe involved, strictly nic-laden air freshener on the bikeThat is distracted driving, sir
Nuttens Rustic Mini Bing and another bowl of Uhle’s Perfection Plug Burley.
Nearly finished smoking year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Trying a change of pace, I busted out my home mix “undecided” (blwb, Yorktown, habana daydream, and a little match Windsor 805) that I made up last year…
I still don’t like anything Lane at all.

Several bowls today of various pleasant blends in different pipes, but my nightcap was Boswell’s Countryside in an estate paneled basket pipe given to me by a coworker from his dad’s collection. My first bowl of Countryside (acquired via a Facebook trade), and I was thoroughly impressed by the flavor, the room note, the creaminess of the smoke, and the persistence of the burn even when sipped slowly. This is a blend I’ll be adding to my next order.
Two pictures today:
The first is a 1950s or 60s no-name second (probably from LHS or Wally Frank) from my dad, smoked with a combination of left overs stored in an equally old rubber lined tobacco pouch as an experiment to see how effectively it maintains the tobacco’s moisture level. Pretty darn well! I smoked a couple of bowls on a camping/fishing trip just on the edge of cell reception, so this is a late entry.
Today I experimented with a layered bowl of Middleton’s Cherry, Mixture 79 and Holiday in a 1950s Kaywoodie Super Grain large apple. It was a fun process to taste out the different blends as the pipe smoked.
