2018 SG St. James Flake in a Castello Old Antiquari #65 Bent Billiard KKKK Kino.
Close to finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Gawith Hogarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented in a Peterson Newgrange 107. A piss poor espresso made with home roasted espresso is my disappointing method of caffeine delivery ? At least the Dark Flake never disappoints.
Good Evening Folks, Rattray's Hal O'The Wynd in a Sandblast Rattray's Nimbus Calabash.
So was it the roast or the preparation that went afoul?
Thanks. Jesse does a nice job with the blast.
Rotating through some Watch City samples courtesy of the very generous @troutface (Thank you!). Last night was Wilke's Flake 558, which I'm still on the fence about. This morning it's Nor'easter in a Savinelli rusticated billiard. I'm liking this one quite a bit. Black tea is my bev.
About a third of a bowl left of D&R Ryback in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Marlins game.
Back to back KVB Sakura and then C&D eight state burley..not a head to head but that 8state was more flavorful and satisfying. In an Eltang Basic while I am playing foreman to the young ones who are pressure washing the driveway for some summer cash. 11 y/o negotiated a mighty sweet deal for himself, including an hourly rate to paid in cash or vbucks, breaks, lunch, and a bonus if he completes the job satisfactorily within a given time frame!!? Hope he and the other sibs don't unionize or were doomed!
Early afternoon bowl of C&D Bayou Morning in an Upshall P smooth Dublin quarterbent with 1/2 inch walls and pencil shank and tapered stem.
I’d love another but it won’t be for quite some time. Besides I doubt the cats would approve, unless they could bully it around.
Capstan Blue in a white leather Longchamp billiard. This stuff is so good I’m not as resentful as I could be about Customs getting their hands on the four tins I got from estervals. I haven’t seen the final bill yet so this feeling could change dramatically.
Best Brown #4 in an early 1900’s FCL Extra London Made Billiard
Just about to fire up an evening Bowl of Amphora Kentucky/St Bruno mixture in a Dunhill 113 (gr2) long billiard from 65
Smoking Half and Half in a cob, watching Ray’s-Orioles game.
Keepin' it smokey with some London Burley and a Rinaldo....Brood X bro's out in force to keep me company.
