The After Midnight Club

[checotah]

@pipe novelist, I agree Plum Pudding is a great smoke, as is it's cousin, Mississippi River. I find these unique blends, along with the Frog series, to be especially satisfying, which is in and of itself strange since I've been smoking mostly English blends for over 30 years. I would have expected to have been more attracted to somewhat more robust English/Balkans. Maybe it's the milder changeup... regardless, I LIKE 'EM!

Well Midnight peeps, in 10 hours I go to get my Black House tin art tat. I'm excited. Russ has seen my preliminary designs and thinks they're great! For sure there will be more pipe related ink in the future. I already have some ideas. If I get time tomorrow, there will ne a YouTube vid.

Right now I'm just waiting for the work day to be over and having some PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in my Storient PM 2012.

awesome can't wait to see the tat...

Baron:
I'm sure you've thought this through, but I'm still hoping that you didn't sell your two legged, movable billboard short.
Cheers, man.

After we chatted before I did give it a lot of thought. I know Russ and I have a wager going, but if BH really wasn't my favorite blend and if I really wasn't comfortable with what is going to be the final product, I'd never commit it to skin. In fact, if I go and the artist doesn't have something together that I really want, I won't do it. The final design isn't going to be simply a stencil of the tin art, but a rendition that I designed with my artistic tastes in mind, so right now I'm good to go. I posted a link to a gallery of Joby (the tattooist) in the Blackbloods thread and I picked him because I trust his artistic ability.

Can't wait to see your new black house ink. I also can't wait for my first tin to arrive in the mail this week!

I can't smoke my pipe because there is a dust storm outside with 50 mph winds. At least I have some snuff in my nose! Pöschl SG Cola!

After about four hours in the chair I felt like he was tattooing my teeth.

I think you're just swell, Q, but I don't know how to comment on body ink.
Please know that I'm certainly old enough to be your dad and, quite possibly, your grandfather so keep that in mind. (I'm sure it's a generational thing.)
On that note, this tattoo is something out of Bram Stoker, Baron. It's dark, it's edgy and I'm sure it's everything you wanted it to be.
The yellow tints give depth and perspective and the circular layout pays tribute to the rounded tobacco tin. However, I don't quite understand the orange/blood red sky.
You've honored Russ with this tattoo. I can only hope that he has honored your commitment.

Dang it, just checked the tracking on my latest P&C TAD order...It'll be delivered tomorrow. It's sitting in the Gorram post office I drive past on my way home tonight. Why oh why couldn't I be a ninja? I'd have my black house tonight for my before bed bowl

 

[madmurdoc]

Hehe, I'm enjoying some Dunhill Nightcap with some good music.

 

[baronsamedi]

Fnord- Yes he did! My father is 65 and as far as I'm aware is the only non-tattooed living member of my family! My mother got her first one at age 60.
In other news, I have this to say about the Mayan Calendar:

WOW! Awesome tatoo, and hey, awesome thread! Yeah, I finally crawled out from under the schoolbooks again, I'm usually in them at this time of night.

Lighting up a bowl of Christmas Cookie in my Uhle's Golden Grain Rhodesian. Just waiting for the flash of light and giant BOOM! :rofl:

 

[guitarguy86]

Well, if there is another life, I'll see you all there soon! :rofl:

Really though, I feel like lighting up some Sir Walter Raleigh. I've had this pouch for months, and I feel like smoking some.

I'm almost reimbursed for the money I put into Miskatonic. Once I cross that threshold, I will be building the war chest for a new blend. This one is tentatively called Old Dagon Dark and will feature stoved VA, Perique, Black Cavendish, Latakia and Dark Fired Kentucky. The VA and Cav will be the main components, with the Perique, Lat and Dark Fired as condiments.
