Up early and although it is still dark, the temperature is pleasant. So I'm on the patio with a book, a cup of Kirkland Colombian, and my Barling Sovereign bent acorn with saddle stem filled with KBV Burley Morning Pipe.

It's light outside, and I've refilled my pipe with more KBV BMP, and my cup with Lavazza Perfetto.
 
I have had this Ropp for like 10 years and decided to give it a go and crack a new tin of Rattrays. Unfortunately it still tasted of when I cleansed it way back then with everclear.
A few more bowls and it will be allllll good.
Its a nugget of a pipe thick walls and feels great to hold so it will be a regular I reckon.
I really ,really love the profession mix anyone that wants to try a mellow english blend this one might be good in my opinion.

Cool pipe, and I guess a cherrywood. I've been thinking of trying to make a cherrywood, since I have a big tree down. I have a little Ropp acorn that smokes great, and I'm hoping to get a smoke in it today. I've wondered about that blend, and almost got some last order.
 
Smoking a Winslow Lovat, Lane LL-7, Horton`s k-cup. Cloudy day with rain on the way.
I think LL-7 is an underrated tobacco. I was a big fan of Captain Black Copper and when Lane Limited stopped making that and the grape I was too late with stocking up on it. I have a case of assorted CB tobaccos in the 12oz tubs. So I was a little disappointed I didn't get any Copper tubs and a friend who is a blender told me that LL-7 is to CB Copper in the way that 1-Q is to CB Royal. Even though it's not the exact recipe, it's very close. And he wasn't fibbing, it was very close to CB Copper. The cut is a tad different, but to me it tasted and smelled like it's Captain Black counterpart.
 
Couldn't sleep, so I got up, fed the ferals, and my cats, and have a third of a bowl left of Leavitt & Peirce D.P.E. in a slight bent black sandblasted post-1940 KBB Yello-Bole Cured With Real Honey Imported Briar with a reg. mark in a circle canted egg with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Good Afternoon my friends. I'm well late to the meeting today, and I humbly ask for your forgiveness, as well as your condemnation of Nurse Ratchet and her assistant Igor, who not only made me late, with the sadistic stabbing of her syringes. ( I swear Mrs Z has smaller knitting needles ). But then she and Igor
moved me into positions, that the human body wasn't designed to be in. Dang I hate Tuesdays. OK OK I hear you saying, stop whinging Zip, and tell us what your smoking.
So today my friends I have a copious and well deserved amount of Rangers beautifully blended Urban Cowboy in a Petersons Christmas 2022 XL90. And once Mrs Z gets me settled in my den, I'm going to light it up, and puff away all my woes 😉
Have a great day y'all.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and brgs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
