Let's just say it's been a very bad weekend at work. Everything that could go wrong did, and me, my partner, and the night shift floor supervisor, have had to defend our integrity because of some idiots saying things that are not true!
All in all, it's just been plain BAD!
So this morning, after having taken the wife to work, I fired up a bowl of 4 year old McClelland 221b Black Shag in a Black Prince (Barling sub-brand) 1/2 bent, sand blasted bulldog that I restored earlier this year.
The Black Shag was opened about a year ago. I smoked about half the tin, and it's been sitting in the jar now for about 6 months without being opened. The pipe is one that I've never smoked anything other than ODF in. But for some reason this morning, both the pipe and the tobacco were just calling out to me, so I figured "what the hell" and went for it!
It turned out to be a beautiful combination! The pipe, smoking like a champ, and the tobacco is as smooth, sweet and tasty as it can be!
I've paired it up with a Highland Thunderstruck Coffee Porter.
My day is getting better by the minute!
Next up, a Shiner Bock. That should be down by the time I finish the bowl, and then it's off to bed for some well deserved rest!
