Had haunted bookshop cake in this Bruno nuttens Prince. This was my second bowl of this blend and I hate it. I won’t try it again after yesterday haha
I much prefer the ribbon version, but may just not be your thing! I don’t like cigar leaf blends. I’m lazing about with Pegasus in this little meer.
Orlik Golden Sliced in a Savinelli Dolimiti 311KS. 
Solani Aged Burley Flake in a Peterson St Patrick's Day shape 608.i really like this pipe but it doesn't seem to do well with flakes. Probably just needs to be broken in.
Some C&D Sansepolcro in the Castello 55 Old Antiquary (KKKK).
Milan Buttered Rum in a Cobbit Shire.
Very welcome, I hope you love itOrdered; thank you so much for helping me out yet again buddy
Since I made 1 Peterson estate match, lemme try for another- someone should grab this unsmoked Sportsman 69 while it's 20% off
Cigar Time: Oliva Serie V Melanio.
This cigar is exceptional in every vitola but in my opinion becomes sublime as a 6 x 60

Getting ready to watch UFC Fight Night 254, Leon Edwards vs. Sean Brady, taking place at the 02 Arena in London, England. Having Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead Bourbon Barrel Aged in an Unbranded, Rusticated, Octagonal Paneled Magnum. This 10" behemoth sports a 1.125" wide chamber. It doesn’t quite have the shank curve to be an LC, but it comes close with its overall profile. Being eight-sided, with a huge chamber, makes it a perfect UFC pipe for me.
Haunted Bookshop in a Comoy Kings Lane. Putting off chores but I fear I can delay no longer.
Very, very, early early morning smoke:
My dog Ricoh, as you know, is not doing well and is on his last legs. Whining woke me up at 3:00 am - he'd evacuated and wanted to be fed. I did the cleanup thing and fed him, with the addition of his daily dose of 3 droppers of a mixture of 2/3 brandy and 1/3 castor oil, which has rejuvenated him substantially, plus probably turning him into an alcoholic. Worth it in the long run cuz he's my buddy.
Went back to bed and was curious what a 3:30 AM pipe would be like. So being like the curious cat of folklore, I loaded my Miniature McQueen Barrel Rider with its dedicated Mad Fiddler, lit up, and began the smoke. About 6 or 7 minutes or so into the expected usual 25 minutes or so, I put it down. Not much in the way of tastebuds happening at this hour. Yeah, it tasted like Mad Fiddler but not great. But when I woke up at 8:30, I re lit the pipe. Not much left as you'd expect . . . . the embers in the tiny bowl left only about 4 minutes or so of tangibly tastess dregs. So much for the midnight skulker. Chewing some tobacco as I write this - still way too early at 10:00 am for this guy's tastebuds to be in any kind of functional form, and my system was crying out for nicotine. Ignorable Dialogue behind the old stock photo. This ignorable dialogue will probably be interesting to Canadians, and it's copied from another post I made in the forum about 20 minutes ago. I'm now broke until May end pension after these two emergency orders.
Ignorable Dialogue:
BC Canada price update: As a lot of you know, I and many others now buy tobacco from CigarChief Mohawk reserve in Ontario, who are tax exempt and allowed to ship to any place in Canada, unlike other outlets where only intra-provincial shipping is allowed.
Over the past two weeks, CigarChief has been swamped and most of their stock has been purchased. I've been part of this mad rush, obtaining 1 bag of Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish for the usual $70 bucks, three tins of Bengal Slices for $59.95 each, and a couple of packs of Borkum Riff Dark for $32.00, plus an assortment of my favourite cheap stogies. This, as all you Canucks know, is the best we can do plus the usual $41 for courier shipping or $26 bucks for uninsured snail mail.
I checked out of curiosity last night, and they've almost been completely drained of product. What is interesting though, is two restocked itens. A tin of Carter Hall (14 oz) has increased from $102 and change to $!96.26, and a tin of Prince Albert has gone from $102 and change to $196.26.
All Smokers' Pride 12 ounce bags are gone, and their price was $70 bucks a bag. When stocked and the new taxes added, they'll be selling for roughly $134 plus change. Lovely, eh?
I'll leave all political comment aside except for saying that the Western Canada Concept is returning in force in BC outside of Vancouver and the Island, as well. Moi aussi.

Smoking a mixed bowl of two flakes, ODf / Capstan Blue, in a 1960 EK shell canadian—along with a mug of coffee.
C&D Byzantium in a Chacom.
I was trying some Three Friars in a Rossi 8804. After 15 minutes of hardly any flavor I gave up. I thought there was more burley in the blend, I guess it's Virginia dominant. I'm not ready for subtle VA flavor. Maybe this summer I'll try a VA again. I guess I'm an English and Burley guy for now

Currently smoking my Ismail Baglan - Old Man meer with my "Vaper Blend," (Hearth & Home - Anniversary Kake, Sutliff - Golden Age, and Lane - 125th Anniversary), while watching more March Madness.
Half way through this bowl 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 my cats, and all the ferals. Abner the Eager was waiting by the backdoor, hungry and ready to eat. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
