Relaxing after a wonderful salad and chili dinner with a bowl of year 2013 H&H Classic Burley Kake in a straight 2012 MM Pony Express cob. Needed a relatively short and sweet smoke. Watching You Bet Your Life. Community Coffee is brewing.
For a brief moment, I thought you said GUANO.
Now that is a pandemic meme.
Unfortunately an hour into my smoke in “Thor’s Gavel” (The Mario Grandi poker) the first rain of spring showed up. Had to get a pipe that the brim of my hat would cover (Rather than one 7 inches beyond it) so I figured what the hell, it’s cob tuesday. Grabbed a different coat and some Balkan Supreme in a MM Little Devil Cutty. 2 hours of Dorchester DGT to look forward to hahaha.
Nice long smoke with a wonderful blend...enjoy!

Wow. This Capstan Blue is truly excellent. Ok, another in the “I get it now” column...
Haha maybe so! Fortunately I came prepared, even if the trickster has even trickier weather up his sleeve!

Guarana
You may know the story about boys from Eton being forced to smoke pipes during The Great Plague of 1665-1666 ...
“For personal disinfections nothing enjoyed such favour as tobacco; the belief in it was widespread, and even children were made to light up a reaf in pipes. Thomas Hearnes remembers one Tom Rogers telling him that when he was a scholar at Eton in the year that the great plague raged, all the boys smoked in school by order, and that he was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morning for not smoking. It was long afterwards a tradition that none who kept a tobacconist shop in London had the plague.”
(A. J. Bell writing in about 1700).
... and about the various benefits of Guarana making this blend doubly useful during these challenging times that we find ourselves in.
Just finished smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
