Nice pipe, love the tobacco choice, and really digging the shoprite shamrock plant as well! Happy St. Pats all in one pic.

Thanks for the kudos Larry!
The “shamrock” actually came from Produce Junction and its really an Oxalis or false shamrock.
Morning, all! Last evening after work I loaded some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic into the Mastercraft straight billiard; a pleasant if unexciting smoke. This morning as I rose, I was originally thinking Luxury Bullseye Flake. But once I whiffed the tin of Peterson Early Morning Pipe and the remaining Three Nuns, all thoughts of LBF fled. I packed a mix of those two into the Peterson Arklow 606 sandblast pot-bowl with military mount, and am enjoying that.
Amazing, isn't it, how one's tastes change even over four years, let alone decades. In the '80s I was much more an aromatic man -- I don't think I ever tried a straight Virginia -- and about the same when I came back to the pipe in '21. Nor was I ever one to mix blends. Now, a Virginia and/or Latakia blend is often what I think of first.

Stopped off at a local tobacco shop earlier today after taking some photographs for a grad school project. While there, I picked up some tins of Virginia Jazz and was gifted a small sample of some Esoterica Penzance by the morning shopkeeper. I’m back at home now enjoying a bowl in my modified MM Country Gentleman. Overall, not bad but not a go to for me. Just glad I could say I tried some.
Decided to end the Penzance smoke and go for something a little more familiar. Just wasn’t for me. Smoking some MC Christmas Cheer in a St Claude briar.
The main event this evening, RLP-6 in the sandblast Pete 312. My Peterson System pipes are my only non-filtered pipes.

This didn't get smoked yesterday, as the tobacco was too wet. It's smoking great tonight though.
Yesterday afternoon I loaded some Luxury Twist Flake w/ a tiny pinch of Early Morning Pipe into the small Linkman's Dr. Grabow bent apple. I even did a first light, before realizing I didn't really want a smoke. This morning I picked it back up, and am enjoying it post-workout and post-breakfast.
We smoke at dawn! 2016 Escudo in the Kirsten meer. Initially I wasn’t a big fan of a Escudo, but it certainly benefited from 9 years of aging!
Stonehaven Sunday...

The last of the Grousemoor mixture from the little jar, got packed in my Peterson Barrel. I have refilled the jar with some two year old Glengarry Flake.
Up this pleasant evening in the Rio Grande Valley: KG Sutliff VaPer 2.0 in a Northern Briars Rox Cut Regal Jade; Arango Balkan Supreme in an Altinay, the PSD 2023 POY. Smoky Black on the side.
Up early again, still a bit tired after yesterday's workout and waxing of the car. So I've loaded fresh C & D Kringle's Delight with a pinch of MB H & H Old Dark Fired in the Wolf pipe, the big sandblast Trade Winds foursquare billiard. A good combo and a solid smoke with but a few relights.
