Rattray's Black Mallory in a MM Twain cobwarden
I am starting to feel that Black Mallory is underappreciated as an English blend. It is really wonderfully balanced, cool smoking and with a reasonable dose of nicotine. I'd chose it over Squadron Leader for an all-day English.

Part way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09). Working and listening the Dodgers-D-Backs game, 1-1 in the 5th.
Listing this early so I can concentrate on work for a while: P&W #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot.
This is good stuff

Having some "Pride of Manassas" (my homemade flake pseudo-brand), batch 36, in a Nordling rustic billiard. Batch 36, which I just pressed, contains VA, MD 609, cigar scraps (most of my flakes contain cigar scraps :)), imzir, cavendish, and Tobias' Surprise, which is a clever little blend that our friend @Tobias Lutz assembled a year or two ago. It tastes kind of sweet and dirty but is still a bit too moist. Strength is mild-medium.
