Haunted Woods in a friend-made Lovat, with some blood red wine which I hope will tempt out the perfumed spirit that roams those misty and forlorn northern tracts...

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 78 in a quarter bend smooth dark brown small bowl 2016 Brigham Algonquin 226 Rhodesian with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.
just love this brebbia. outstanding!
Very interesting change in this blend since it was 'fresh' (jarred for a couple months now). Not nearly as bright as first mixed. Started kinda punky/funky..then warmed up and milk chocolate now underlies it all. (Haunted Woods is 50/50 Haunted Bookshop and Northern Woods). Half way in, quite smooth, nice slight tingle on the retro. Overall more of a rich melded body, burns great. I loved it fresh..this, I like. Not what i was expecting. Needs more exploring. Need to look back to see what I last smoked in this pipe, choco may be a visiting ghost!
Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to the Dodgers-Giants game as I work.
The rustication is just perfect, it’s almost too nice to smoke! Lol anyway thank you
The dust taste great and on top of that it’s 8% best of both worlds
Can't go wrong with Elysian - many moons ago when I lived in Seattle, Elysian's brewpub was a regular hangout after underwater hockey practice.
Continuing with the chocolate vibe, Arrowhead in a cob to end the evening.
Irish flake in a Pete. No matter how many blends I try, I can’t help but have a tin of this open. It never gets old for me.
interesting to read over the tobaccoreviews desc of this blend. no chocolate, just vanilla (and burley and..). I never did take 'vanilla' from this as i do from vanilla flake, and other primary vanilla aros. This pouch resides in my pipe 'go bag' which is mostly left alone lately and whenever i open it, a pleasant, and pungent, aroma is there. always strikes me as a chocolate. huh. Not like the chocolate under the Haunted Woods this evening! ;-) this is not that. btw, checked what was last smoked in the lovat, and it was Dorchester. Not a chocolaty aro (eg Fireside Chat which is in my current rotation). ah well. puffing away listening to the latest Pipesmag podcast. g'night!
Just finishing this bowl of year 2018 Mac Baren Acadian Perique in a straight smooth brown 1933-36 KBB Yello-Bole Honey Cured Briar 2384 Acorn with a tapered yellow rock ambra stem.
Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Just finishing this bowl of Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and tapered black vulcanite stem

Now smoking Wilke Coronado Oriental in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.
About a third of a bowl left of year 2022 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Work's done for the day, and I'll feed the ferals after I feed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger.
It’s a MacQueen’s picture.
@UncleRasta you ever try drying your VAs crispy, or close to crisp, and smoking them? I’ve noticed with some VAs and VApers crisp, they can yield some interesting notes.
Almost half way through this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.
Waking up with a bowl of Sillem's Blue in a Dunhill Shell bent billiard.
