What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Finishing the day with a fill of 2+ yo Capstan Medium. Soft and tasty.

Smoking another bowl of IRC Slices, this time rubbed out. Rubbing out this flake makes a world of difference; it's easier to keep lit, it tastes sweeter, and you can taste the Perique.

Just finished an excellent early morning smoke in a Dr. Grabow Royal Duke billiard. Smoked some of a blend that a guy in our pipe club made - tastes like Prince Albert with some Virginia and a little Latakia.

I'm headed out with a healthy dose of Solani-ABF in my apple meer. Only one week left for MMM on the other spot I frequent, in the past 3 weeks this girl has had 90 smokes go through here. By the end of the "event" (it's less an event and more just for fun sake) I should be around the 110 smokes through her. Then it's time for a re wax and a week or so rest to regain her strength. In fact I was out cleaning some of my briars & cobs yesterday getting them ready to be back in rotation. They got a good Everclear scrubbing in the shanks and stems, still need to ream a couple and do a light carnauba buffing.

This was the scene yesterday as I smoked a Partagas 1845 Extra Oscuro

Also doing some resto work on a Kaywoodie white briar, Baraccini dublin and Kaywoodie flame grain (not shown in the pic)

Just got home from work.

Fired up a bowl of Dunhill Navy Rolls to go with this larger than normal glass of Scotch.
Because eff this week.

Rattray's Black Mallory in a Redonian army-mount billiard

A new blend (for me) from Ole Shenandoah Appalachian Berry. I didn't think I was going to like it at first. I have to admit though, this was surprisingly tasty. It was a quick trip to the store so I didn't feel like digging for my Dagner Poker. Instead I used a small cob.

BTW, Howdy everyone! First post, so yea, I'm the FNG aboard this vessel. Salue!

Half bowl of Margate this morning.

Working on a bowl of Samuel Gawith Navy Flake topped with some Kraken rum.
Earlier this afternoon, had a bowl of Blackwoods Flake.

Both very nice smokes.
