Urban Cowboy in a Butz Choquin giant bent billiard with morning coffee. This combo is good for at least an hour and a half or more. Really muggy this am. Rained overnight and humidity is up to 80%+, unheard of in Az. Feels like I'm back in Fl.
 
So far today, I’ve finished a couple of partially smoked bowls from last night, followed by some 2010 GH Louisiana Flake. I’m currently about 1/3 of the way through some 2004 Scottish Cake in a nosewarmer cob.

I’m maybe 1/4 through that SC tin, which I recently acquired from a fellow BoB member. It’s been my first experience with this particular blend. And I’m still a little stumped by it. The first half of every bowl is wonderful. But it fades late into just blah.

I suspect it’s at least partially because I start smoking it too fast, because I find it so tasty. So I’m trying to better pace myself, but it still seems to Peter out a little bit.
 
On a walk here in Santa Barbara, Ca in late eve smoking some Cabbies Mix by SG in a Bari Viking. Almost home where I’m going to have some Rattray’s Sterling Flake. :) in a Sav 123 Bruna. Earlier had some Penzance, Haddo’s delight and Old Gowrie which is a regular for me lately. Various pipes, Stanwell. Kaywoodie, Bjarne..

Today, I’m starting with a bowl of decade-plus-old Kendal Flake in a cob poker. This is maybe the coolest smoking Virginia I’ve had yet.
 
My tobacco shipment just arrived,just fired up a bowl of Sutlff black cordial in an old Dr.PLUMB billiard pipe.This was a tobacco that Ranger suggested and he was right ! I probably should have let it dry awhile,but I like it!

Driving into work I had some MacBarren Virginia Flake in a square shank apple made for the Tobacconist pipe shop. Just finished some Scottish Flake by McConnell in a 4 digit diamond shaped panel that went very well together due to a way better than average packing I suspect.

That is a wonderful looking pipe. Need to add that shape to my collection at some point.
