Popped a tin of 2019 Robert McConnell Paddington. I remember this being touted as a Royal Yacht clone back a few years when the Dunhill blends disappeared. It's is much milder in every sense. The smoke has a very soft mouthfeel and I barely get any topping flavor. Nic shows up late in the bowl at about a medium level. Nice stuff.
My new #1 Favorite pipe. Thank you Sir!
Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Plug in a Savinelli Tre 321. What a perfect size bowl for a strong, slow burning tobacco. 
Rattray’s Exotic Passion in Bones’ mini-dublin.
Another mini Bones with CS Cherokee and a wee dram 
Welcome back!I’m back! Been battling some health issues for several weeks. Had a nice 6 day vacation at a local hospital during that time!
Finally up to smoking again. Starting with McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Castello Old Antiquari Hawkbill. The time off seems to have helped my sense of taste.
2017 Haunted Bookshop in the Lord Kirk
Some of my trial go with the noodle press, a Match Victorian/Winchester Crumble Puck, in the Short Army 102.

A third of the way through this bowl of KBV Dread Planet 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 123 pot with a black tapered vulcanite stem.
How's that crack holding up? Was that dropped at some point?
I love how that's coloring!
My first grandson's name is Hudson, so I'll be adding that pipe to my list of must haves. It's a handsome pipe.
After a lopsided Scrabble victory versus wifey (I won't even reveal the score, it was that bad), went out to the workspace to enjoy the calm before the storm with a bowl of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in a La Rocca Due bent billiard with a glass of brandy. 9.1/10. There's always a late season snowstorm about this time.

Earlier before leaving Indiana for home, CVP in a Cermak.
Back home enjoying Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
