Anyone Heard of this Texas Bourbon?
This comes close to blasphemy (to my Irish ancestors) but as much as I love Irish whiskey our American forebears really nailed it with bourbon.- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Wessex Campaign Dark in my Pete rusticated House pipe. First smoke since I gave it a good clean. I plan to be here a while. Hope everyone is having good Saturdays.- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Used to! But I've gotten used to intermittent fasting -- so around noon I'll be set to eat. Oh! It's around noon, now. Sometimes the pipes and coffee help make it through the final hour or so (16 hours in between last night's meal and today's first). Enjoy your Friday!- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Pre-eating bowl of MacBaren Vanilla Cream in my mid-sized BriarWorks, trying to push myself through one work project before lunch -- so I have the afternoon free for the one that's really due today. Hoping to mostly clear the long weekend. Enjoy your pipes, all! We've got a riot of gold finches...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
I appreciate everyone who liked or otherwise reacted to my last post, which basically said: I was stepping outside and it started to rain. (It then got very windy and we had a couple short power outages— so I feel for those talking about wind today.) Anyhow — after a monster of a day, with work...- EssJaySea

None. Both times today when I had the time, it started raining. I had my Scott's little Dublin and some Kramer's Father Dempsey ready to go. It is my go-to tobacco, and I realized I haven't been going to it lately in favor of a variety of flakes and other new to me blends. I thought I owed it a...- EssJaySea

*** What Are You Drinking? *** February 2022
The Keto diet? You're halfway to moving to California! I appreciated your drink tonight -- Noah's Mill. I prefer it to Rowan's Creek; my wife feels the opposite. Hope the remainder of the night is terrific. Ours is now starting!- EssJaySea

*** What Are You Drinking? *** February 2022
Last night was Tanqueray martinis. Tonight I expect Woodford manhattans. Yall definitely make it clear I need to up my game. Haven’t shopped in a while though. in general there’s not a ton of mixed drinks here — are there any favorites when the call isn’t a pour of something near?- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Decided it was time to open one of the C&D blends I’ve got (minus a We Three Kings I’m saving for the 2023 holidays). Went with the Super Balkan in my fairly small Scotts sandblast Dublin (there may be a better description). When I imagine what pipe tobacco tastes and smells like — this is...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Filled up my Savinelli Canadian with some PS Nougat since I still haven't eaten today, and at least for me aros are a little easier on an empty stomach. Will enjoy it during a call with one of the teams I work with -- we had these calls pre-COVID (we don't share an office) and agreed to eschew...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
As I wrote last night, end of day pipes are my favorites. Last night reaffirmed that so I worked to make sure I’d have an hour or so to myself at this point in the evening. 2020 Cringle Flake in my Pete House pipe — first bowl after giving it a good cleaning. My guess is plenty of you watching...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Evening all. Rare end of the day pipe for me — although it is my favorite time to smoke and relax. Holding off on having a likely bourbon before dinner. It’s warm, in the 70s, here in LA today. Bird report of note: This morning the Cedar Waxwings, which pass through once a year, landed in our...- EssJaySea

It's proving to be a quiet Saturday, and I'm managing a bowl of 2020 Cringle Flake in my Scott'f Dublin. I will add I entirely enjoyed the Capstan Blue I tried for the first time yesterday, and I *nearly* grabbed it again. Hope everyone's days go well!- EssJaySea

As promised (to myself at least), a bowl of new-to-me tobacco -- will be in my Pete smooth Aran 408. There's a small chance I'll have another (different) after lunch. Y'all clearly will know if it happens. Hope everyone has easy finishes to their weeks and good weekends ahead.- EssJaySea

Morning all. Couple hours of calls starting in a couple minutes -- will be nursing a pipe of Eight State Burley (and maybe refilling). In my Viking rusticated Dublin. Sometime this week I will open up a new-to-me tobacco. (Shoot -- which means either tomorrow or Saturday.)- EssJaySea

A cup of black coffee (with some cinnamon) and I've filled this BriarWorks with MacBaren Vanilla Cream. Its been a while since I smoked an aromatic so I thought the change might do me some good. The yard is fraught with American and lesser goldfinches, house finches and some stubborn mourning...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***
Stared at some of my unopened tins -- Purple Cow, Red Va with Perique -- and just figured I am a bit too busy with work to devote the thought to something new, so going with one that has proven a good match with writing: Wessex Campaign Dark Flake, in a small Scott's Dublin. Hoping I'll pop...- EssJaySea

I’m looking forward to the release of C&D’s next small batch: Forgotten Blend. Even they won’t remember what’s in it — but we’ll all buy it up nevertheless.- EssJaySea
