I'm debating between two Lovats. One is oil cured Rind, the other a regular Rind. Decisions, decisions!

Oil cured is always a nice option. Once broken in, there would really be no difference. There really is no wrong decision between those two. (Except, of course, not buying at least one of them).
Two Friends English Chocolate in the Savinelli Alligator 626.
Some ‘08 Pease Embarcadero in the LHS Marwyn.
First bowl in a couple years, so let’s see how this all goes. This tin was already opened and put in a jar, so hopefully the little bit of drying out I did prior to lighting will help.
Back in the game !

Went with this one...
Nice! Definitely an excellent choice, a real beauty. Can't wait to see it in this thread!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Lovely. Nice choice.
Alternating the big Canadian with this kk vergin. Union Square in this one.
Home after a long day and having a couple of bowls before I head to bed—early morning meetings tomorrow.
This smoke is from Nightcap in my MM Country Gentleman Night Rider (probably my favorite cob shape).
Earlier, I had a second bowl of Royal Yacht in my MM Charles Towne Cobbler.
Good night, PM Forum!
Interview went well yesterday but ended up working to a out 1030pm. I have an interview tomorrow for a different position as well! Bringing the night to a close with Five Brothers in the Marxman Bulldog.
I was wondering how your interview went, thanks for the update. Continued prayers for you bro.
Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.
2018 Capstan Blue Flake in a Rad Davis.
Sir John Aylesbury Virginia in the HS Studio Blowfish.
Late, finally back home after a looong day and a couple days away. Seeking calming comfort with VEPA+ in the no-name wormy carved billiard and some Kentucky
And below is an intriguing license plate spotted on the way home today…

Part way through this bowl of year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Put the University flake in a jar for 6 months and then see how it does..Trying out my brand new Chacom Montmartre with a bowl of Petersons University flake.
Hadn't intended to buy this pipe. I had a Savinelli and a Barling in mind but the Savinelli was much larger than I wanted and I thought the Barling was expensive. I've always looked past these yellow stemmed MontMartres in favour of the black Chacom Champs Elysees but seeing them both side by side the Montmartres looked the nicer in the flesh.
A really nice well made pipe. I'm warming to Chacom. This is the second one I've bought and I'm quite impressed
As for the University flake, it's OK. I'm not getting the rich flavours of plum and fig that they claim for it. Perhaps just a hint on the tongue. It's perfectly pleasant and smokes very well but otherwise an average, lightly cased aro virginia. Probably won't become a regular smoke though I wouldn't turn it down in an emergency. On the other hand it's a close relative to the tastier burley and perique Petersons I prefer and so probably a good choice for breaking a new pipe as I can't think there'll be anything in it that will ghost.
Looking forward to trying some deluxe Navy roll in this pipe.
@Cloozoe You are an inspiration and aspiration!
