I spent a really great day with my stepson, now just settling down with Royal Yacht in an Ehrlich meerschaum Canadian. 

Stirling Flake in an Orlik Billiard 

Maybe I'm abusing this thread. I am treating it like, "what are you smoking at the minute?" As opposed to "this month". 🤣 

Anyway, worth a post because it's always a good day when your favourite pipe works it's way around in the rotation, and this modest Vauen is mine, for an early 7:45am bowl with some coffee.

Again with SG Best Brown Flake. It’s so good….

thistime in a Savinelli 624

I *need* a good smoke, so I’m taking no chances! 1792, in a Stanwell Night & Day.

I´m feeling i have to put the 1792 away from myself, I´m reaching this tobacco soo much and i don't want to finish it too fast. Today i started smoking this amazing blend in my usual cob paired with coffee. This baccy makes me smile every time I start smoking and feel its flavor. 

P. Stokkebye Toasted Burley +25ish% C&D Latakia in a cob.

Most enjoyable smoke if had in a few days. 

Mac baren virginia nr.1 in peterson system. First smoke of my short vacation in Germany.

Torben Dansk Orient Specialitat with 20% Syrian Latakia as the last smoke of the day. In a Ropp 331c, 1/8 bent squat bulldog

Same thing with a little added Red VA Cavendish in the Savinelli 330 KS.

Tasty 

I’ve set aside the Royal Yacht for now and I’m having a nostalgia smoke, Mixture 79 Cherry Brandy in a cob. 

Royal Yacht is simply good stuff. I do like the K&K version a lot! 

for me HBS in a cob 

Began the day with Aged Burley flake 40% + 20% Best Brown Flake + 40% Syrian Latakia. Excellent smoke.

Taking a long break at work with my personal "Mischione Inglese" (trad. English Big Mix, the rests of all my english mixtures tins) in my Armellini dublin paired with an iced tea. Very nice, I missed some latakia these days...

Toasted burley + Latakia + a stout measure of granulated perique in the trusty Bari pot.

Daddy like. 

I think I'll make a cake of this mixture in my noodle press. Maybe add just a wee bit of unflavored green river cav.

Change of pace now I'm home. Cobblestone Outdoor Hiking, in a cheap pipe. Not even sure what brand this pipe is, but I know it was under fifty bucks, and it smokes great!

I decided it was time to cut into a block of my own Red Virginia/Perique/Dark Air Cured/Krumovgrad/Burley Red Tips blend that I’ve been giving some time in a jar. Only about three months, but that’s been plenty to have the flavors meld wonderfully. I’m smoking it in an Ehrlich meerschaum.

Nightcap, in a BriarWorks Classic. 

Home mixture in the new old ass Castello. 

So far really good. Likely some confirmation bias. But the pipe really does smoke and taste good. 

Repair band as I knew. But it's really well done. It's actually like a military mount but retaining the original push stem. It came in pretty decent condition. But as typical the shank was a sewer. All clean and fresh now though.  I can tell this old fella and I will be friends. 

For the price it feels like a win. 

Solani Aged Burley Flake for the last bowl of the day in a Savinelli Nonpareil 9121. Last complete bowl of the jar. Rest go to my recently inaugurated Frankenstein jar.
