Couldn't sleep, and just finished smoking 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.
McBaren Club Blend in Eltang basic
A third of the way through this bowl of undated McCranies Red Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Derby Natural Grain billiard (Sasieni) with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Phone chatting with a good friend.
Steamworks in the Mitakidis bent and blasted strawberry.
Happy birthdayHad my b-day smoke in my b-day pipe (maiden voyage), Peterson Flake in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bent bulldog. Very low-key b-day, but that's my style anyway. Plus, it's Pesach, so I'm enjoying some nice smoked whitefish and homemade matzah tonight. Anyway, good smoke today. 8.3/10
Bird report: House finch, California scrub-jay, Mountain chickadee, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco (as soon as it cooled down, they came back), American crow, Common raven, White-crowned sparrow, and a yellow house finch which, according to the local octogenarian ornithologist (how's that for alliteration?), is a recessive gene in the species that causes the head and breast to come out yellow in lieu of the usual red. Seen a lot of them this year so far.
@PaulRVA thank you for the b-day wishes! I'll try to keep the bird reports coming, but they could go on strike at a moment's notice...
@Sobrbiker ditto, and additionally, thanks for the great equine photos! Wifey compliments their appearance and demeanor...they look like Clydesdales compared to our 15 hand mustang!

Loving this pipe already!
Sitting down this morning with some Escudo in the first pipe I ever made. 
Good morning and happy Friday. Settling into work with a bowl of Sixpence in a Grabow. With coffee served in my “Worlds Okayest Employee” mug. I don’t like giving my boss and colleagues the impression I’m anything but okay. Doing anything beyond that sets expectations that I’m a pleasant and exceptional employee which would lead to more work and interactions with others.
Happy birthday @Servant King

Thanks for the post, I’ve been looking to try it but haven’t gotten over the “sticker shock vs unknown“ factor. I do like Dan’s angle on a lot of blends-quality stuff.
Nice to see you John. Safe travels
Today is a good day for a little experimentation. As i've recently finished off a couple tins on the shelf, i decided to dig into the cellar and look for one-offs to open, being that i now have empty jars sitting around. Can't have that. So what i found were 3 old tins of GL Pease. Going to smoke these relatively back to back as the morning progresses. Laurel Heights from 2013 in a Bear's Den Briar commissioned snail, followed by Filmore from 2006 in a Stanwell dublin and finished up with Montgomery from 2010 in a Roadtown Freehand.
