Leftovers in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard with 9mm filter. I had some remnants leftover in several bags, mostly virginias and some pouch brands mixed; about 1 ounce of scraps. I moved it all to one bag and added an equal mix of Lane 1-Q to tone it down. Its pretty good but some of it must be Peter Stockebye PS81 shag because periodically the nicotine meter spikes. I noticed the addition of the black cavendish causes the bowls to last at least twice as long. Its not bad; a good way to recycle !
Good morning! Loading up for a bicycle ride! Coffee, burley and a cob.

Bored waiting on a sub. Looking at pipe porn, taking selfies of my ugly mug and enjoying some C&D Winchester in a Rossi
It’s been quite some years since I’ve spent any time in KL
Man, has it changed.
The traffic is even more insane than when I last visited.
The food scene in KL is a mix of old & traditional, fast food chains, and high end dining.
If you do your research, you can eat extremely well and cheaply.
Most shopping malls have food courts, some quite large with extensive variety. And cheap.
They are air-conditioned and comfortable compared to traditional hawker stalls which tend to be very hot during the day.
My 2 mates and I had a very lovely Chinese meal tonight at a restaurant (an easy 10min walk from our hotel) which has been at the same site for 68 years. Total cost for 4 dishes (which we struggled to finish) was MYR 132 (@USD$25)
On the other hand, we had coffee and pastries for morning tea at an extraordinary coffee shop which cost us MYR 180 !
It did have over 100 single origin beans and >100 blends on offer.
And the pastries were very good.
Wine and spirits can be eye-wateringly expensive. Expect a lot of obscure names with high prices.
And the knowledge of the “wine waiters” is fundamental.
But beer is plentiful and cheap.
A very interesting country to visit, full of contrasts and surprises
Blockade Runner in my MM Hardwood. I’ve decided not to even ream this pipe while demo’ing the blend.
I’d love to see Batu Cave Temple and the Petronas Towers.
Add in the food scene and all the history & architecture and I’m sure it’s a mind blowing trip.
