All three are beautiful, KellyG, but I like that panel. Truly it is time I smoked my "Wolf pipe" again, the big black sandblast foursquare billiard.

A tasty bowl of BCF after dinner this evening, in this little Kevin Arthur poker...
Up earlier than I planned again. Last evening I packed the big black Wolf pipe, the sandblast foursquare Trade Winds billiard, with a mix of Match Prince Albert leavened with a little Stirling Flake, and am puffing it now. It's a big bowl; I can probably do about 15-20 min. this morning, and still have that much time left after work today.
This morning I return to the porch to listen to the birds celebrating the passing of the thunder storms while I puff BCA from a Starfire.
Sat down this evening with the guys at my pipe club. Enjoyed some of @Price Empire blend in a HH Signature briar. I followed that up with some Sutliff The Boss that was shared with the group. Great evening of conversation and fellowship.
A very warm evening as it topped 100 F in the Valley today. Two pipes, the Huber LE with 2021 Cringle Flake, the penultimate bowl of that tin. The Northern Briars Rox Cut Regal Jade G4 Panel with WC Rouxgaroux. A wee dram of the Bunnahabhain on the side, along with a big tumbler of ice water. We will see how long I last.
Again on the porch this morning with the Starfire and BCA. Sunrise is looking nice, the birds are singing and I am trying to decide how early to head out for work.
Last night before bed I packed a mix of St. Bruno and pipe-shop aromatic Queen Anne's Revenge into the CHAP meer-lined straight billiard. Hope to puff on it tonight.
The QAR smells much like Captain Black Original. Should be interesting.

5100 this evening, in the 2012 B&B Brown Leaf LE "James"...
And so I did on Thursday evening before dinner, about twenty minutes' worth. It delivered a hint of tongue or mouth heat; the QAR was still moister than I thought it should be after sitting on a saucer all day. Not bad, though.
I'm finishing up the bowl this a.m. with my coffee after a halfway decent night's sleep. And it's Friday, so good news all around.
This morning it's the OG Grabow Starfire and BCA in the lounge.
Headed out for a couple weeks. Besides about a dozen cigars, I'm bringing Bob's Chocolate Flake (crowd pleaser) and my Empire blend (for further exploration)...
Have a safe and enjoyable time, sir.
A couple of Tinskys this evening. I didn't start out with these in mind, it just turned out that way; funny how that happens. The '23 Tinskey LE is stuffed with PS LNF; WC Simply Voriental in the '23 Christmas Golden Blast. Some sort of whisky on the side. I'm glad to be smoking in "cooler" weather as it was 109 F yesterday; too hot!
Last night, one of my mixes: a pinch of Capstan Blue and one of St. Bruno with Match Carter Hall. This I Frank-packed into the old Colossal part-carved, lightly bent billiard for a short smoke after work. With a pipe cleaner up the spout, the Colossal sat overnight, and the rest of the bowl is providing a several-relight session with my morning coffee.
