    I had one of those sticks earlier this week. Mighty good.

    Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know if it was just me or what. I don't recall it tasting this way, but that has been more than a year ago since I last smoked it. I do like how it finishes, but I have to be in a certain frame of mind, ha.

    Paul, you have "peeked" my curiosity as to why you doubt that you will finish that tin of RY? Is there something wrong with it? If it was made while under Dunhill, it must have some age on it.

    Congratulations on the Grayson win. Mighty impressive, indeed. A question on your Plum Pudding.... I recently pulled some of that out after not having smoked it in a year or two and noticed that it seemed very Latakia forward. Moreso than I remember it being. Maybe it was the combo of the...

    With the bad weather we've had, once I got the horses cared for, I had a bowl of another "new for me" blend. That being HU Janneman Flake. I smoked it in my Kaywoodie Zulu. It was too dark for a photo so I'm posting one I made a month ago. The blend was very pleasant and I think it will be...

    It always blows my mind at how quickly after rainy weather out there, you can do dirt work. I know it is due to the porous, sandy soil, but it is amazing to consider.

    Yes, it is, Jim. Very recent acquisition. I'm thinking the DFK presence is a good thing. I really enjoyed it.

    Has been a washout of a day. Has rained "pitchforks and frogs" most of the day. I decided I was gonna try some of that new tobacco that I recently bought. Really beginning to love all of the HU blends and so I broke out Director's cut. While at first glance it is a VaPer, it has a presence...

    Couldn't agree more with you about Ben at RP.... I have gotten some really nice pipes from him.

    PSA - 20% Sale At Altinay Meerchaum Pipes

    Would love to have one of these but my PAD has hit the old pocketbook pretty hard lately. Will need to lick my wounds and do some healing first.

    Man, Paul, I had no idea you were having to deal with this kind of crap.

    I put the horses up tonight as we are supposed to get rain and hail with winds.... Decided to have some Old Toby in a MM cob with an IPA on the side.
