To much happening for all of us right now, methinks, so I'm just going to highlight one smoke from yesterday, and post my new arrival . . . and that's it. Will try to catch up on my comments and posting as soon as I can. 'Tis a function of the Season!
I had one smoke of interest late yesterday:
A friend presented me with a package of tobacco new to me, Borkum Riff Original. I smoked it in my aro/codger test pipe, a McQueen Miniature Barrel Rider.
Absolutely sensational! A couple of subsequent bowls in a couple of larger pipes that are biased for this type of fodder confirmed the findings. Don't know how to explain my attraction to this breed of tobacco over the last six months or so, but with the meds and stuff, probably that. I really enjoy just a basic tobacco now, and BRO will be a staple in my larder from now on. Available locally and at the Reserve Store, so i'll be having this on hand and ready to go permanently.
New Arrival today, the Meer Bowl for my new Falcon Shileleigh frame, which I showed you the other day, Yah, I know I mis-spelled it but I ain't gonna look it up to correct it, and y'all know what I mean.
Now, I also realize that I will no longer be able to make fun of pimping pipes, cuz a few more are coming, and I'm joining the ranks of the tasteless!!
And, eating crow ain't all that bad!
According to outdoor survival expert and author Bradford Angier, small crows are quite palatable.
I still haven't quite arrived at the point where I like panelled pipes though, but in my final order madness I'm going to get one so I think I'm allowed to be a hypocrite and change my mind.
Lots of stuff to do tonight and Advent is getting busy, so I'll be appearing tomorrow morning and try to catch up on posting comments!
Have a good Saturday, folks!!
