Coniston Cut Plug Unscented in the Nording Compass. A perfect sized pipe for the heavier/stronger blends.
After a good workout and shower, and a frustrating trip to the grocery (not only did Walmart not have some things I needed, they have taken to *locking up* things like deodorant) . . . after all this and breakfast too: some Early Morning Pipe in a bent apple from Mr. Jensen's long-gone French Quarter shop. It was one of his house pipes, with his name stamped on it. I understand they were made for him by GBD?
Anyway, quite nice; I'm getting to like the campfire aroma a lot.

My "outdoor reject blend", which is diluted Latakia and other unloved tobacco. I'm smoking it in the kitchen though, as the weather is inclement today. I'm using my Parker Cherrywood, which hasn't seen use in over a year.
American Smoking Pipes “Mark Tinsky" Coral Bent Rhodesian (5x) loaded with Esoterica Stonehaven flake
This morning after a tough workout in the steamy pre-dawn heat: Amphora Full Aroma in the Dr. Grabow Commodore Canadian. A good pipe for this blend, though it's been good with everything I've tried in it. My packing yielded a good twenty minutes, then about ten more with some relights.
The Amphora is good stuff. I hadn't dried it out of the pouch but about ten minutes before I loaded the pipe and lit up, and it was hardly crispy. Yet, I got no hint of bite from the little moisture there, and only a hint of gurgle in the pipe itself.

My largest bowl (Falcon chimney) with MySmokingShop's Gentleman's Choice. It's been an all day smoke, on and off. This bowl hasn't built much cake yet, and being thin walled, needs setting aside quite often to cool.
Sampling a blend I made for some of the guys at my church. Smoking it in a modified MM cob.

St James Flake in a full bent Ben Wade.
I bought an ounce each of three Lakelands, fully prepared to hate them. This one's quite nice.

Last night, loaded the Wolf pipe, the Trade Winds foursquare sandblast billiard, with Edgeworth Match and smoked just for ten minutes. Then I set it aside with a pipe cleaner up the stem. This morning with coffee I took it back up and am sipping away happily as I wake up.
I quite like the Lakelands. Good stuff.
Had an unplanned smoke today. Was supposed to fly out to PA for my brother’s celebration of life gathering. Due to weather and flight delays, I ended up returning home and will repeat the process tomorrow instead.
My smoke today was some of the Louisiana Red mixture in a small briar pipe.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I hope that you and your family can find laughter and comfort in one another's presence. Finger's crossed for good travel weather. Godspeed.
