FVF this evening in my Pohlmann...
'S funny . . . I came home thinking I'd load up a pipe after dinner and have a leisurely smoke. But as I ate, I realized I didn't really want a pipe tonight. So I've packed the slender Orlik Large Chimney estate pipe with Peterson MM 965 for the morning and let it go at that. Somehow I really do prefer smoking in the morning with my coffee. Perhaps when the weather cools, some month, and darkness falls early, it will seem more appropriate to light up in the evening after work.
Strange to relate, when I got up just now and whiffed the MM 965 in the prepared pipe, I decided, "No. Not this early. I'm in the mood for a burley." A mix of Match Prince Albert and C & D Pegasus went into the Peterson 440 straight billiard w/ P-Lip instead, and it's a good choice with my coffee.
The MM 965 will keep. After more than three years back with the pipe, I've learned it's okay to do that. It's not a legal requirement to smoke the pipe you already prepared if you want something else!

A bowl of Cult Blood Red Moon in my MM birthday gift pipe.......
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!
Blood Red Moon sounded good, so this evening I'm enjoying a bowl in my "cherry" Ashton, with an old fashioned on the side...
It’s supposed to warm up to near summertime temperatures again over the next few days. Today was average so I’m taking advantage of the slightly cooler temps.
Enjoying some McClelland Red and Black in this years Morgan LE.
Up this evening, 3 pipes, we'll see how long I last in the heat/humidity. C&D Sun Bear Black Locust in a Northern Briar's Paneled Billiard; Eight State Burley in a Avanti Rock Briar 1015 Pot; TC Pipe Club Blend from Dead Leaf Supply Co. in an old Custom-Bilt Billiard. Smoky Black on the side.
KellyG, I really like that Northern Briar panel. The color of the stem is a great contrast to the stummel's finish.
In my case, today's smoke is a couple of pipes that . . . well, not every smoke works out. Last night before dinner I fired up the Orlik Large Chimney loaded with Peterson MM 965. Feeling the blend starting to get to me, I kept that smoke to ten minutes, figuring to finish it this a.m. When I did, the stuff only gave me about ten again and was tasting bitter.
I switched to some Edward G. Robinson in the Linkman's Dr. Grabow bent apple, and again it's refusing to stay lit for long. If I puff too much, it runs hot. I guess this is just one of those sessions where you have to say, "Tomorrow is another day," and let it go.
