What is in your pipe?

Taking a break with Ken Byron Anne Cap, which is cavendish with some lime and ginger notes. Sounded like a good hot-weather blend. I almost lit up the Ken Byron Vizmir which is matured gold VA with notes of cream, strawberry, and rose. That's a bit too much for me, good think it was a small sample and it's almost gone.
On the way out to enjoy this tobacco in my Chacom Club, I spilled my water. Luckily I didn't kill this laptop, but my mouse scroll wheel is acting up. (a little more time in the sun seems to have resolved that problem) I also played the three scratchers my MIL gave me a while ago for my birthday. All losers.

The Country Squire Delta Honeydew in my Norm Triptow small, but mighty, half-saddle, quarter-flake pipe. This is a ribbon cut tobacco and I normally reserve the Norm pipe for plug or flake cut because it takes longer to burn so a smaller pipe sort of equalizes things, but this time I wanted the Delta Honeydew instead.

I get that Norm Triptow is probably the maker, small? Makes sense, it's small. But, half-saddle? Quarter flake? It only holds a quarter of a flake? If that's it, then I'm just left to wonder about the half-saddle. What the heck is half-saddle? Stem shape?

It's a bit of a bit, but it's a small pipe so I call it a quarter flake pipe. There's a bit of a joke about what a good flake pipe is or that there is even such a thing as a flake pipe. This one is small so I have to be careful to not overestimate the amount of tobacco that'll fit.
The half saddle is a thing, sometimes called a combination saddle. Normally pipes will be tapered on both sides of the stem in a saddle bit. Double-comfort bits have another taper down the stem to make the part you clench even smaller.

Finishing the sample from yesterday. It's a beautiful day, low 70s, light breeze so I'm working out back while waiting on my crock pot roast to finish.

I'm smoking KBV Burley Morning Pipe in my Neal Monier rusticated Bin with some morning coffee gone cold. On deck is a sample of Ratray's Exotic Orange (now called Exotic Passion) that @Stubble sent for me to try in my MM Morgan cob sporting a forever stem.

Now smoking the Ratray's Exotic Orange (Passion) in my MM Morgan Cob. I can definitely taste the orange, but it's not as over the top as I feared given some of the comments I'd seen. TYVM @Stubble Steve, I think I go crack a blood orange IPA to see how it pairs.

Had some Capt. Earle's Ten Russians this morning in my trusty Stanwell Elephant Foot. I have to thank @Captain_Call , he kept mentioning the Ten Russians and I bought some. It's got a couple years age on it, last year I just went ahead and rubbed out the whole block. It's great Latakia!
