Sensing a theme here
Some H&H Louisiana Red in a Ron Fairchild wavy rim dublin.
Kaywoodie Supergrain poker with SWRA while mowing the lawn this morning.
Up early, for a coffee and a pre-breakfast pipe: Edgeworth Match in my Colossal billiard. Edgeworth does not really need drying time on a saucer to light and burn well. I got a little molasses from it, and earlier a hint of woodsmoke; not sure where that came from.
It's also my first pipe in a few days -- always something to appreciate.

MM Mark Twain stuffed with Straus Sleepy Hollow
I understand now why this blend has such a following. This is a very pleasant aromatic.
This is one of those blends that works very well as a long smoke, it takes time for it to really open up. Definite cinnamon and nutmeg undertones. I look forward to seeing how this blend tastes as it ages. I think I might even get some more and cellar it for a few years.

Stanwell 75th Anniversary 185 apple (107/150 Blast), Rattray's Marlin Flake.
Irish X in a Kirsten. I tried to anodize the body, but it was a miserable failure. Several spots corroded and the aluminum did not take any color. I sent it to Alabama Ceracoat for a coating. I think it turned out nice. The zippo is my sons birth year, I scribbled on it with an engraver. Lol.
Had these in the drawer for a while and decided today is the day to bring them out. First smoke for both. Dunhill My Mixture 221 Baker Street in a Dunhill Root Briar. Not really my taste in tobacco preferring milder smokes. The wind was quite challenging had to cradle the pipe inside cupped hands to protect it. Packed it in after 20 minutes, wasn't worth damaging the pipe.
Imp smooth bent apple with silver mount and filled with Grousemoor from Samuel Gawith
A nice post-work and pre-dinner pipe: the Georg Jensen sandblast billiard, the "captain's pipe," loaded with Match Field and Stream. Very pleasant.
Rusticated briar stuffed with Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic.
I enjoyed this quite a bit. I like how the aromatic element is secondary to the flavor of the tobacco itself and the blend is well balanced between the burley and virginia. I will definitely be keeping this in the rotation.

Wallace flake in the 18’ LE
Inaugural Condor Ready Rubbed smoke in my new Falcon Block Meer bowl.
C&D Autumn Evening in a Peterson Killarney 221. Usually don't go in for heavily flavored tobacco but this is nice. First smoke of Autumn evening. Mild, taste of maple. Burns cool. Fitting for the weather.
Skiff this afternoon in a freehand that i've had for a while. The carver's stamp is so faint i can't make it out, but it's a good smoker.
Some Half & Half, the first I've had in a while, in my baby Savinelli 404.
Two bowls of Kramer’s Father Dempsey in the Yard Work Bones. The good Father’s blend is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
2015 Motzek Strang in a Falcon tonight.
Have some FVF on deck for later also.
