What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Red Rap in the big ol' General. Only lasted half the day. G&H flakes last a day and a half, what a difference in burn rate.

Just finishing this bowl of 2015 Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Oom Paul with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem.

Now smoking Rich Dark Flake in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

Puffing Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake in my Kirsten Mariner. Its rich, chewy flavor is so different from the light, crisp Virginias and VaPers that comprise the rest of my tobacco rotation.

I have 22 tins in stock, and ordered 25 more yesterday evening. Yeah, I like this stuff!

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.

Iwan Ries Three Star Blue in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem.

Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1998 Parker 489 three quarter bend Billiard with a black vulcanite stem.

Smoker’s Haven Krumble Kake in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Well it's been a long week here, busy at work and home. Then a spot of a bug put me down.
First time in years that a bug got the best of me. Anyhow, I finally got a few bowls in today.
Started with some comfort smoke, Captain Black original in my Castillo. Followed up with
Oriental Blend in a MM cob. Don't want to push things, I'm still feeling a bit light headed
from the bug, and would rather keep good memories of smoking.

The last of this tub of Heine's Blend in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. Took a long time to smoke it up, but I managed!
