Too lazy to make my way over to the cigar end to post this, nobody knows me there anyway haha... smoking a Schizo after a day of dicking around with the sprinklers. Pipe busted, dug a hole, fixed it, turned on the loop and they all were clogged, pulled them all out, flushed it, put them back on, then found out half of them need new nozzles anyway...im not going to the store so here I am with a beer and a stick. Another day in paradise :)
H&H Mazatec in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl. This finishes the stash.
My Internet service was down for the last hour or so.

This evening I am starting off with a bowl of "Moe's Confetti" in my no name extra large freehand.:pipe: Way back in 2010 I was posting my smokes on the old Puff Forum and Mark (mooster) had posted to me telling me there is a "Moe's" tobacco; and not long after I checked my mailbox and there was this package of "Moe's Confetti" from Mark.:thumb: After lighting my first bowl of this tobacco my wife came into the room and asked me what I was smoking and I told her; she absolutely loved it. I found this tobacco to be pleasant but I was into the Stonehaven and FVF, but she could always know when I smoked Moe's Confetti.:crazy: After that I tried to fool her but she always knew when I smoked this tobacco; she would say that I was smoking "Mark's tobacco". I have since stopped trying to fool her; she always knew. I stocked up on this tobacco and jarred it. Quite frankly I don't know a thing about this tobacco except that it is a nice smoke and in all this time I have not come across any posts on the old Puff Forum of any one else smoking it; how she knows I will never know.:idunno: I am topping off this smoke with a small glass of brandy with a happy wife enjoying the smoke.:beerchug:

I'm the first one out of bed this morning?
Virginia Flake in a 1961 Barling #5179 smooth saddle billiard.
After watching 19 innings of Red Sox vs Yankees, I'm too tired to pack a pipe. Coffee and a cigarette this morning.
Warren, between you and @JimInks I get my baseball news (or some of it) but today you are the messenger of grim tidings. Let's state facts, the Yankees never lose, they sometimes let the other team win. :)
Mixture #1001D in a 2014 Mark Tinsky ring blast taper poker with hand-cut rod vulcanite stem.
I was a baseball fan, complete with the statistics trivia package, until 1994, when the players wouldn't even play the World Series. Haven't watched a single professional baseball game since, and some years have managed to avoid even knowing who won the World Series.
Watching the Masters all day today and tomorrow! Lots of piping! :pipe: Right now, yet another bowl of RY in the 4Dot. And more coffee!
Ran some errands on the bike then enjoyed a bowl of Neverbend Mystery Coin Flake (pink F nonvac) in a Malaga.

Gunny (a black cordial aro from Godfather Cigars just outside of Camp Lejeune) in a slight bend cob.
Followed by H&H Classic Burley Kake in a straight cob Apple.
Had some Pegasus in the Mastercraft, once again courtesy of Branzig. The smoke was really woody and unique (for me so far in my piping experience).
Now smoking some Neverbend Mystery Flake (Yellow "i" vac sealed) in a 1940's Kaywoodie Supergrain gifted to me many moons ago by the man himself.

Mostly 1792 with a bit of ODF scraps in a small clay tavern pipe. Drinking chai, watching the Nats. I didn't watch more than a minute of the Masters today, but I did manage to get 9 in. Wide open course, got paired with an older gentleman. We finished in just over an hour and a half, him riding, me walking. I parred the first two holes and then it fell apart. I've inexplicably added about 20 yards to all my clubs in the offseason and sailed a couple of greens. I think I'm going to start using round time instead of score as a bench mark :pipe:
In an unrelated note, I was so excited for some new Forever stems and when I checked the tracking I realized I accidentally had them shipped to an old address :banghead: It doesn't look like the new resident sent them back. Looks like I'll have to pay them a visit tomorrow :spy:
Been home for a while from the Raleigh Pipe Show. Had a great time. Got a new pipe from Basil Meadows, spent time with the Sutliff guys, and m'lady and I worked their table quite a bit. Had fun hanging out with retired Sutliff blender Carl McAllister and Russ Ouellette, and Chuck Stanion from Tobaccos Reviews and Pipes and Tobaccos magazine, too. Smoked a couple bowls of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2015 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend tomato military mount with an aluminum accent, horn ferrule, and cumberland p-lip stem. Gonna post a pic later. Just finished Modern Va. in a 1978 Dr. Grabow Omega. Ice water chilled to the proper temperature is my drink.
Half way through this bowl of Flying Dutchman Match in a slight bend black sandblasted Lorenzo Elba Imperia 8636 with an amber colored acrylic stem.
Just finished a bowl of Drew Estate Meat Pie in a Charatan second Dublin.
Now smoking Arcadian Perique in a 2002 black short shank grain relief straight Caminetto 6.L.17. Trying to figure out what pipes to smoke all the samples I got today.
Mac Baren Scottish Blend in a Grabow pot
Hal O' The Wynd in a MM Diplomat. The best Va/Per available on the planet. There, I've said it.
Sutliff Breckinridge in my old reliable 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian.
Sutliff Revelation Match in a Grabow
Field and Stream Match in a 2003 IMP horn Meer. Have enough left for two bowls.
Enjoyed some St James flake (half a bowl) in my new Ser Jacopo Canadian and then packed a bowl of Dark Star in a Neerup sand blasted bent Acorn. Wonderful day out today.
