Sutliff Field and Stream Match in an MM/C&D straight nose warmer with a tomato red stem. This is a thoroughly pleasant mild blend when you want something that is never overbearing nor edgy. It's just right in a cob. My wife and I just phoned my brother-in-law to wish him a happy birthday. With birthday's, I often play a harmonica accompaniment to Happy Birthday and leave the singing to my more musical wife. We gave him a military compass that I sort of fancied. He served a mandatory hitch with the Dutch army. His folks were part of the resistance in Holland and his dad served some time as a POW. After a certain age, most people like smaller gifts because life can get pretty cluttered, so the compass is that. Tomorrow he spends the afternoon with his two granddaughters, twins, who are just beginning to talk and are a dual ball of energy. It's their birthday too!

Just finished smoking year 2014 Astley’s No. 55 n a 1915-1920 straight smooth dark brown BBB Own Make 150 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to the Dodgers-Padres game as I work.

A NOS Briar Lee - A Lee second. It is an awful smoke. This notion that a Briar Lee smokes as well as a Lee is poppycock. We’ll see if it get better, but the breaking in process is painful. It is a nice little billiard but man o man is it a hot burning oven. @Briar Lee , I am doubting you on this one.

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

I’m ending a busy day. Earlier I enjoyed some GLP Quiet Nights in a Savinelli, Oscar pot and just finished a bowl of DS Blairgowrie in a a Peterson Derry 106.
Good night all.

Solani 633 (2015) in an Altinay.

Only one bowl left in the tin. I’ll be sad when this one is finished. I have a few more of these aged tins but they are all back in the States.
