Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Currently, I've about a quarter of a bowl left of 1970s Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega military mount with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem with a p-lip.

I decided to make use of the pipe bag that Susan got me and bring a couple pipes and some tobacco with me to Brooklyn. Having Esoterica Tobacciana Margate in an unfinished Savinelli Series III 320 KS Author.
2009 H&H Larry's Blend tonight
Just enjoyed a bowl of Esoterica Pembroke that I actually packed into a Peterson System Standard 301 exactly 4 weeks ago. This was a gift from a Pipe Club friend, Apr meeting, Apr 16th. Two days later, I went OOT for 3 weeks. It was dried perfectly & smoked perfectly. Underscored my belief & habit about packing a pipe maybe a couple days early, although I've never had a packed pipe sit for 4 weeks. Loved the Pembroke! Wish I had more!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and smoked a bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
Thanks Silverwing, and everyone else who wished me well! Even though I was really nervous about it the surgery went smoothly and I got through it just fine. It'll be about 10 days until I can smoke my pipes again, just waiting until my gums have healed enough that dry socket is no longer a potential concern, but I'm patient and it'll definitely be something to look forward to! I don't think I'll be able to clench a pipe anymore now that I don't have any teeth, at least until I get my dentures in 4 months or so, but that'll just be a good excuse to spend more time relaxing with my churchwardens when I can smoke again.
Red Odessa in a MM Legend (straight) followed by the same in a MM Legend (bent).
Trying a couple of experiments at the same time.
- different shapes on same pipe.
- dedicated each pipe to English (made possible by smokable seconds)

Half way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95.
I’m really like San Sepolcro this year. Very good stuff, finished my tin before I lost my taste last month
Haunted Bookshop in a DM Stanwell. 
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the original 515 that Basil Rathbone smoked.
I wasn’t awake long when Long Tail jumped on my foot, and then the chair, and took a snooze on my lap. Then, she snoozed on my chest, and moved up to my shoulder. The shy orange tabby snoozed next to my feet, then by my side, and then with Momma Sam. Both spent several hours sleeping by my side and on me this afternoon, and this evening. We're still looking for a home for them.

Now smoking 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth brown medium bend briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Reading baseball box scores.
The new owners of the two orange tabbies told me that they have adapted well to their new home, and the older orange tabby that they own. They've been exploring the house, and after playing on the stairs, took a nap there.

The stem of some of my clays is too narrow to get most pipe cleaners down, especially the vintage ones!
Last smoke of the day is Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with an unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. Still have a few things to do, including checking on the ferals.
Morning coffee with some Ashtons Artisan's Blend. I like this one but I only smoke it on occasion. Its got a nice citrus undertone I enjoy. Its in a long Ser Jacopo. I bought this one instead of a chruchwarden. Im glad I did.
Match Sunrise, which is Sutliff's match for EMP in my MM Morgan 2nd.
If I keep seeing all these damned adorable cat pics from Jim, I'm going to have to adopt some of the ferals outside my house. There are several here that have been kept alive by the local aviary and squirrel population that I encounter while lunting about in the early mornings especially.
It's against our HOA rules to feed them. I've got some siamese, tuxedo, tabby and 3 colored cats out there. They all seem to be more responsive to the women who've been feeding them, but they're still not trusting enough to be house cats.

Broke out the old Radice clear with some Hal O' The Wynd.
