Some Rattray's Stirling Flake in the small but perfectly formed 'Little English' by the Colossus Pipe Factory, circa 1890. With a mug of black coffee. Wonderful, relaxing smoke. Sitting out on the back porch, just now, perfectly at peace this mild but soggy Sunday afternoon, a young hedgehog ambled past within a couple of feet of me. It's unusual to see a young hog foraging about in the daytime and at this time of year (they should have eaten and fattened themselves into a comatose state for hibernation by now), so I left out some ham for it to find on its return journey. I am now keeping an eye on the ham through the living-room window to try and ensure that Doreen Gray, the neighbour's cat, doesn't get there first. Since I also leave bacon rinds out for her, she won't understand. A pleasant and peaceful Sabbath to you all.

Good morning, gentlemen. An early start to my smoking day in order to watch the Abu Dhabi Gran Prix. Exclusive in a Castello Old Antiquari panel billiard with Italian Roast on the side.

Beautiful pipe! I haven't had the privilege of trying Exclusive yet but I've heard its good. Man I use to love F1, I grew up watching F1 and LeMans and use to go to American LeMans races at Mid-Ohio with my Dad. Kinda stopped watching it though and switched over to NASCAR awhile, been to a few NASCAR races to at Daytona. Racing use to be better though, like most sports, somewhere in the early 2000s everything changed and nothing is as good as it use to be. Have fun today man, sounds like an excellent day, lounging, smoking, watching racing. Happy smokes brother.

Nice looking piece with just a knuck o' bamboo for class. Congrats and many happy smokes. :)

Long drive home tonight. Smoked 3 pipes while catching up on phone calls and slow cruising the stop 'n' go.

Had some warmed up leftovers for dinner, organized some things for tomorrow and am finally settling down for a nice proper pipe in the comforts of the lounge. Well-aged Butera Kingfisher in an Ahmet Govem commission piece with a wee dram of Rock Oyster 18 year malt whisky for dessert.

Mortar: I also have watched many races at Mid-Ohio, an excellent track for watching in person. F1 was great this year with 3 drivers contending for the Championship until today.
