Frog Morton on the Town in a Graysons squat bulldog
Relaxing after a bratwurst and potato salad dinner with a bowl of Year 1973 Erinmore Mixture in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer. This has a perfume scent that I didn't quite recognize in recent productions. Aging must have caused that. Ice water chilled to the proper temperature with floaty li'l ice bergs is my drink. Since I have a couple days off of work, I'm going to watch some baseball and a movie or two with m'lady and the kittens.
Having a bowl of Tobias's "best of the rest" mix in my mm Ozark. Don't know what's in it but its pretty tasty...
Now smoking Peretti’s #333 in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant blowfish.
Dunhill Nightcap in my Savinelli Bent Bulldog. Stuff is delicious, I can't get enough.
First bowl of @NeverBend 's "Yellow E" in a BBB Superfine lovat (which as it turned out was a good pipe choice for this delicious stuff).
Now smoking Dunhill Navy Rolls in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a smooth shank.
4Noggins Trout Stream in my Sav bent dip.
I know what you mean, I have an unopened tin, bought it to age. But my other is empty [emoji33] I will try and not pop it.Quote:

Sutliff Voodoo Queen in a Roma bulldog with a saddle bit stem. I think this is an under sung blend, is nothing exceptionally special but for the life of me I can't find anything wrong with it. Sweet, spicy, and smokes like a mild English. What do you think @cpmcdill ?
It's an early favorite of mine, so much that after the first time I got some, I bought more. As for evaluation, @JimInks said it better (his is one of the top reviews):Quote:

Voodoo Queen is one of the best Sutliff blends. I have a couple of pounds jarred and aging. Count Pulaski is pretty durn good, too.
Now smoking Capstan Blue in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem.
SG Navy Flake in my late 90's Savi Roma.
They call it Twisted Pete at my local B&M. It's Luxury Twist Flake. Anyway, I had a bowl of it in a MM Legend.
After that I felt like something a little sweeter so I had a bowl of Lane 1Q in a MM Huck Finn.
Part way through this bowl of G&H Rich Dark Honeydew in a straight 2014 MM Pride Legend.
Chatham Manor in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash.
Union Leader Match in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite stem with cream swirls.
The pipes have been pretty much gathering dust for a couple of weeks, other than a bowl here and there to finish off some open tins, but I decided to pop one tonight and grabbed a tin of C&D Briar Fox. I tried this several years ago, and I thought of it mainly as the "bottom line"; it was the best Virginia I never reordered after the first tin. I figured I couldn't smoke 'em all, and had to draw the line somewhere. Well, that ate on me for about four years and I finally gave up and ordered three tins about a year ago. After having a bowl tonight, I've got to say that this delay was a mistake; I should have been adding this to my cellar all along. Maybe I can't smoke them all, but there's no way I should have ignored this one!
That St James Flake before made me want some more Perique. With a belly full of sake I'm going to puff on some Kajun Kake in a Ciro morta Rhodesian

Can't get enough perique!Quote:

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
Now smoking Arcadian Perique in a 2002 black short shank grain relief straight Caminetto 6.L.17. Simply Lemonade is my drink. Have been very busy today with various things. Just found out my local newspaper wants to do a short article about my pipe smoking. Incredible! :confused:
Quick cob of Storm Front before heading off to work.
After my navy flake ordeal last night, figures I'd smoke something that I know burns easy and with no effort lol.
Very cool Jim!Quote:

Part way through this bowl of Watch City Flake #558 in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315. Very enjoyable stuff, though I'm starting to run low on this stash.

It's going to be a short piece with a few questions and a photo of me and my collection.
Orlik Golden Sliced in a Stanwell Specialty 172. First time smoking this pipe and this particular tobacco. Thought the Golden Sliced was okay-to-good. The pipe smoked great.
