Ugh, uber humid today in Texas and hit around 100, felt like 110. Point being, couldn't really sit out earlier. But, I've got the fan on the patio, and just grabbed a quick cigar and beer. Will probably head back inside shortly.

Anyway, more importantly a Brick House cigar and a Leffe Belgian Blonde Ale.
Cheers!

I’m in north central Texas and I was dying out there today. So grateful every day I do not have to earn a living out there any more; all the respect to those that do, and have and will continue to work those long, humid days. I couldn’t really even enjoy a bowl out there, only snagged one right at the top of the day, and smoked the rest at the desk. I ended up going with a cigar this evening as well, as they seem to lend themselves well to high-humidity days! I did not, however, have the wherewithal to enjoy a fine Belgian ale like yourself, hope it hit the spot!

Prayers your way, Bob. Is this ruining your training?

Thank you! Yes. Two rounds of strong antibiotics and it just keeps coming back.

Canal boat in the MM Maple. These two pair so well. Going forward, this pipe will ONLY ever be used with CB.

Now smoking year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a straight, black sandblasted pre-1970 Comoy’s Sunrise Etched Grain straight Liverpool 309 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Daisy the Feral Princess has been wanting attention, and both m'lady and I gave her plenty. She's snoozin' by my feet now.

Awesome! Yes, thanks the Belgian ale was perfect. Totally, sometimes a cigar is just a bit easier to deal with when it's this hot. Btw, I'm up in the DFW area, trying desperately to keep my garden plants, flowers and peppers, alive.

Last one for the night. Fresh Haunted Bookshop in an Ascorti Business KS. Haven't had a fresh tin of this blend since somewhere around 2013. Nostalgia.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem.


Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2013 Germain’s Plum Cake in an undated, unbranded straight lattice meerschaum military mount with a silver cap and tapered yellow acrylic stem.


Currently, I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2000 SWRA in a straight smooth 2024 Peterson Red Killarney 264 Canadian with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip stem. Got a few things done around the house, gave the ferals a little play time, and had a very long chat with an old friend about lots of things. Just fed my cats, and Daisy the Feral Princess who wanted out for the first time in hours. I'll check on Harry the Hairy after Tomato the Brave eats.

Now smoking year 2019 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. Been a while since I smoked this pipe. Tomato the Brave finished eating, came over to me and jumped on my feet and "yipped". That meant that he wanted to play. I put out a few toys for him to bat around and chase, and he's really going at it. In the meantime, Sleepy Suzy went to the kitchen to finish the wet food that Tomato didn't eat. I'll see if she wants more after I post this smoke. Tomato will probably want more food, too, because he just ran over my feet chasing a ball he's batted into the kitchen, the silly li'l fella.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the first third of this bowl of Wilke Pickett’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. I'll end the day with this smoke. Harry the Hairy came in to eat, played for a couple of minutes, and wanted out because he was bored. The others are out, too. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Reading while this bowl lasts.

If you read it as "Fired Up and Set To Go" you'd be reading it right, but if you're like me -- the first time i saw that acronym i was thinking it was something snide about Scandanavian Tobacco Group

I’m pretty sure the initials came first, and palatable words were thought up to make into an acceptable name
