Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

This morning it's the SilverKing and BCA while listening to the rain.

This p.m., my pipe was the Peterson 440 straight billiard with Sir Walter Aromatic, a glass of iced sparkling mineral water on the side. A pleasant twenty minutes' smoke, and another fifteen after a couple of relights. The combo of this billiard and the aromatic codger blend is a winner.
 
Late report: Sunday morning's session was with Peterson My Mixture 965 in one of my 1980s pipes, the Savinelli sandblasted Dry System billiard (the "Somerset Maugham" pipe). I'm not sure yet if I like this particular blend. The initial light provided almost a soapy note rather than a smoky one, though that vanished after a few minutes.

Now that I've practiced it for a while, I also find the Frank method of loading one's pipe to work quite well.
