And here are the Brecon geese (not the bacon grease) who arrived on the Farm last week. The gander has appointed himself Head Of Security. We chose Brecons because they are one of the least aggressive breeds, and thus less likely to harass visitors - but that's not saying much.
So that's why they call them "Yello Bole"I bought this unsmoked Yello Bole Hand Made push stem last week. The price was low enough that I have no qualms about smoking it.

I still have about 4 oz. jarred up from about 10 years ago. If I recall correctly I really liked it. I also have about 8 oz.each of Cherokee Cherry and Cades Cove from 2011 jarred.View attachment 438472Afternoon smoke is Gatlin-Burlier Frank’s Blend in a CAO meerschaum. This is a very mild aromatic. Very pleasant.
Thank you, Steddy for the compliment on the Rinaldo. I like the stem shape and red stain. I don't hear much about the brand but that pipe smokes beautifully and is not heavy. I probably bought it at a NASPC show.If a pipe could be a person, this Rinaldo would be an Italian aristocrat. Bella.

I LOVE the photo of the little guy! Made my day!RMC Heritage Barking Road + Nording Compass
