IRC Gourmet English for the first smoke in my brand new Rad Davis/Alex Florov Anniversary pipe for Quality Briar. WOW! I've smoked a pipe off and on for 35 years, and I never knew it could be nearly this pleasurable.
Still breaking in an Upshall bent bulldog with IRC Gourmet English. Starting to taste much better - the pipe, I mean - the first few bowls were nasty like shoe polish.
The previous day was entirely devoted to moving varying amounts of P.A. through my pipe rotation.
This day started with a departure from the routine -- to which I will quickly return tomorrow. I had a bowl of H&H's Louisiana Red, followed by D&R's Rimboché S.J.
