Now smoking year 2013 Stonehaven in a 2002 medium bend smooth brown Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I am smoking a CAO bent brandy meerschaum with Cascadia Trailhead and a pot of coffee.

 

[Balisong]

Smoking my favorite, Kensington in a Rob Roy. I've been checking in on the new rabbits frequently, seems the doe is having trouble adjusting and the buck is not very fond of the dog. It will all change!

A warm and windy day -- my hat even blew off! Opened a bulging tin of Triple Play from 2017, two bowls in Country Gentlemen

Back from the ranch. Smoking C&D Billy Budd in a Pete Xmas 2021 Deerstalker. Orange spice tea on the side. Turned out to be a really nice day. Sunny 65 with a slight breeze.
Bali, I notice the Charring Cross seems to smoke a bit hot in a briar. Have you noticed that or have you only had it in cobs? I prefer the Kensington over the Charring Cross.

Maybe you need a stampede string, lol.

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a straight black sandblasted 1924 Parker’s Super Briar Bark 11 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was made in the second year of Parker production.

 

[EZONSLOW]

Smoking a Custombilt billiard with Lane LL-7 and a decaf coffee. Another early day tomorrow at work.

Just finished dinner, roasted Red Broiler, roasted butternut squash, homemade applesauce, and, an apple. Lynda closed up the outbuilding while I fed the cats, dog and chicks. Now I'm sitting back with a Rob Roy filled with GH DVC and a Golden Ale.

I haven't smoked in my briars consistently in quite a while so I can't say. I too prefer Kensington as a repeat blend. I started with English/Balkans a little over ten years ago when I got tired of looking at the tin of EMP I bought by mistake. It blew me away and became my morning tobacco and London Mixture beat out everything else I tried to become my anytime smoke. When Dunhill became Peterson and London was dropped I began another search. What I've found so far is that either Charring Cross or Drucquer Levant are a good first pipe of the day and Kensington is better than London Mixture. My next step will be matching them up with briars which could take time considering I took down most/all of the cake before resting them for a few years.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Sutliff Presbyterian Ordained in a straight smooth brown 2017 unbranded Upshall Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to brew some Community Coffee soon, and getting ready to clean a few pipes.

Working on Finnegans Wake, smoking a sandblast Mastro Geppetto with G&H Black Twist, red wine and a bit of brie.

 

[JimPM]

Feeling the pleasing bite of the Louisiana wolf with a gnarly bowl of Rouxgaroux. And yes, I just bought more today!

 

[JimInks]

Off to work with a bowl of year 2016 WarHorse Ready Cut in an undated straight sandblasted black Ropp Crystal billiard with a clear acrylic perspex saddle stem. Listening to the Dodgers-D-Backs game.

 

[WarneOut]

About to get into a bowl of Watch City's Original Crumb Cut.

Luckily managed to order some Watch City Rougaroux today. Sold out in 35 minutes!

 

[Balisong]

Ending the day with a Diplomat filled with GLP Abingdon. It's a flavor filled tobacco that might make the rotation!

 

[RudyN]

My pipe of the day was a Peterson De Luxe 1S with some Boswell Titus tobacco.

 

[WarneOut]

Moving on to Kendal Kentucky in a Vauen quarter bent billiard.

Watch City's Original Crumb Cut is not working out for me. No matter how I pack it or how much I dry it, I cannot get this stuff to take a light at all. Anybody that has smoked this blend successfully -- what am I doing wrong? Must be me, because other people seem to like it. I don't normally have issues packing and lighting cube cuts.
