A third of a bowl left of year 2024 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. Fed all the cats except for Daisy the Feral Princess who just came inside. I'll give her some wet food after I post this smoke. Tomato the Brave ate plenty and then wanted out. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' in the corner of the den. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Hear, Hear....... Kudos to you, Paul. Lead us into the Fall trends by building the first fire.
I have been "Jonesin'" for a while to get weather cool enough to build one here.
Ehhhh, yeah looking at your forecast it looks like you’ll be good for 3-8:00am though 😂
Tonight is good up here then the next chance is Thursday.
Typical Virginia where if you don’t like the weather wait 15 mins 🤣
Or 3 of 4 Seasons in a day expected!

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.

All of you are familiar with today's first smoke. Maybe you have a childhood memory of a grandfather or father smoking it.
Today I am firing up some Prince Albert in my Stanwells billiard.

For me, living in Sweden, this blend is almost impossible to get. I saw a lot about this blend on YouTube, messageboards and well all social media pipe smoking.

So what do I think about it?

I really like it, it's mild, soft, and burns excellently, and has a nice nutty, earthy, and chocolate taste.
If this were available in my country, for the same price as in the USA, it would be my daily smoke.
Yeah, we should count our blessings here in the US. We like to complain about the tobacco situation but we can still get a few reasonable priced codger blends. I over looked Prince Albert and the like for decades but now I'm a daily smoker of them and really enjoying PA. I'd say your taste description is spot on,IMO. Smoking Carter Hall+P right now.

I am grateful for a GREAT morning on the bicycle! 30 miles of smiles! Typically a two hour ride. Today it took me about two and a half. I’ll take it! I will do same tomorrow morning. Monday or Tuesday, I will ride my age, 67 miles. Oh yeah. Pee Dee in this Pre-Republic Shamrock. Diet Dr. Pepper. From Rock & Roll to a rocking chair in my little yard. Then watering and weeding. Later, friends place over in Sweet Bay for a concert on the green. My life is amazing! Thank you Lord!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, am close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. As soon as I finished lunch, Harry the Hairy jumped on my lap for a snooze and did the most purring that I ever heard from him. I hated to move him, but I needed more coffee.
