What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

A third of the way through this bowl of HU China Heaven in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Half a bowl of Semois to commence breaking in a little Dublin.

Anyone find Semois to be quite harsh on the mouth? I like it flavor wise, but its probably worse than any VA Ive smoked in this respect.

Dunhill Elizabethan Match in an old favorite smooth 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside with a black vulcanite stem.

A third of the way through this bowl of HU Daddy Gefftl in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl.

This evening I am having Penzance in my extra large Rossi freehand.:pipe: I smoked HH Ten to Midnight several times this week; I had read that it was very similar to Penzance and I was very much disappointed.:blue: I did not expect Ten to Midnight to "rock my boat", but I did think that it would tweak my interest-it did not!:popcorn: The Penzance that I am smoking now is vintage 2010 and that may be a factor, but my Penzance is absolutely delicious. I am topping off this smoke with a large mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and I am enjoying this evening.:beerchug:
