Flying Dutchman Match in a slight bend black sandblasted Lorenzo Elba Imperia 8636 with an amber colored acrylic stem.
In honor of the FDA handing over what I assume is a completely idiotic, brain-dead, reality-lacking, harmful-to-small-business, and painfully restrictive set of regulations to the OMB, I'm starting my day with Ennerdale Flake... And I have to say, the scent is so enticing that I have had to shoo away legions of youths who came crawling to me like zombies looking for their premium tobacco fix. Obviously Gawith & Hoggarth & Co. and I have done a masterful job marketing this product to the underage.

Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano Billiard.
Going back to one of my first favs: Pete's Irish Flake. Never fails to make me warm and happy.
Having my 2nd bowl of Batch 27 homemade flake in an unfinished no-name briar. Batch 27 is based on "Tobias' Surprise," an aro blend that @Tobias Lutz sent me a while back. I'm not sure what's in Tobias' blend, but it tastes like a VA/cavendish blend w/ whisky and some sweet flavoring. I pressed it with some burley and perique plus some other things to make a flake.
Had some St. James Flake earlier when I first got off work.
Now I'm enjoying a bowl of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a MM Country Gentleman. Damn this is good stuff. One of my new favorites.
Finally done with work. Been putting in 65+ hours a week for what feels like the last year, but it's probably only been three or four months. My day starts at 8AM and I'm lucky to get a bit of time to myself to not work at night. I'm under the gun: I promised to deliver a brand new, built from the ground up, retail website to replace one of ours that was built in 2000-2001 - by no later than October 31st. Unfortunately I spend 40+ hours a week doing things other than website building, so I haven't been able to focus on this the way I'd want.
Still, here I am, with only 6 more (time consuming) tasks left on the checklist before it's finished.
I'm going to bundle up, head out, and watch the clear night sky. The rest of this bowl of Irish Flake will go with me, as will a big glass of pureh (pu'er, whatever) tea, and I'll load up the 4-Dot with some 38 year old MacBaren Symphony just in case I feel like staying out later. Night, all!
2015 Test Mixture #7 in a 1970s Caminetto Business #104 saddle billiard. Tea with lemon.
Taping the Mets game (yes, I know that it's 6-1) but felt like a bowl was more important at this moment.

Morning Chico,
Recording :). DVR provided with my cable service (Verizon).
Congrats to the Mets. Cubs had a great season, have a bright future and a classy manager in Joe Maddon. I made a small bet on the Mets to win the WS at 4-1 as a rooting interest but mainly because I saw their young pitching studs all year and they're very good. Matz is the least of them, at this point, still good but he only projects to be their 5th starter in 2016.
@JimInks , what do you think of the Mets pitching?

2015 Stout in a 1950s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood Fossil (sandblast) #251 taper billiard with Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry on a nice Fall day.
I've been saying for months that even though the Mets bullpen isn't that strong, with the exception of Familia, that in a short series, the Mets have three very good starters who could make life hell for you. I think they'd have had a harder time had they played the Pirates instead of the Cubs, and I think they will have a harder time playing the Royals if that's who they face.
Ogden’s Walnut in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10.
It was my first naked bowl in a while so the taste of raw wood was pretty dominate. Will need a couple of more smokes to get it nice and coated but all in all it smoked like a dream.
not a gurgle at all. ( i did baby it by running a cleaner thru it now and then) but smoked it all the way down to dusty ash.
after the bowl, ran the base under running water and its all cleaned out. ( the base does collect a little ash goo, but rather the base get the goo and not the bowl)
I don't know why but every pic i take of the pipe makes it look huge but its really not. To me the bowl seems medium sized
