H Upmann Anejo Robusto, watching Band of Brothers.
Finally on the way home tonight. Accomplished all I needed to this day.
Just had dinner and lit up the Tekin meerschaum with some Cornell & Diehl’s Big ‘n Burley.
I like taking a no filter meerschaum on the road. It’s so convenient.
Dragon Flake, cubed, given a bit of dry time, and gravity fed into the 6 panel bent lattice meer. Working well. 
Just finished smoking year 2016 Wessex Gold Brick in a straight dark brown 1920s Comoy’s Sunrise Natural S369 squat bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I wouldn't be watching them..........I'd be eating them!
Just back from town and finishing off this bowl of Capstan Blue RR in a Pete before I smoke some Amphora Full in a Meer, rain looming too.
Just finishing this bowl of year 2001 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a smooth dark brown medium bend year 1924 Dunhill 136A double patent apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Tomato the Brave is not a fighter, but he has gotten a bit aggressive lately. He consistently goes after Abner the Eager, who is definitely a lover and not a fighter. When any feral starts that sort of thing, they go outside immediately. This afternoon, Tomato wanted out, and when he was outside, Harry the Hairy was there waiting to eat. Tomato, like all the other ferals, are afraid of Harry. I figure it’s due to the loud wailing Harry does when another cat is around. This time, Tomato hissed and took a swipe at Harry, who backed off. I’ve never seen any feral stand up the Harry before. Tomato came back inside, and I fed Harry.
Not much else to relate about today. Sam the Scamp and her babies are fine. I have learned not to pay too much attention to the babies because Sam gets concerned about it after a few minutes. Some of that is probably because Sam wants to get out of the bathroom and be with us and have more room than the small bathroom does. She doesn’t like to wait long for that. The babes do like my rubbing their heads and chins. One of the sons of Harry the Hairy grabbed my finger, marked and licked it, and then wanted to climb out of the box. I put him back in the box. Btw, it looks as though all five are boys.

HH Burley Flake in an MM Washington.
Wife loves the birds so I let them be now. Same with the deer. She’s already out feeding the Squirrels, Rabbits, Deer and Birds this morning. Our Deer will almost eat from your hand and some of the squirrels actually will.

Ive got a couple of tins of McClelland 2009 Beacon. Im smoking a small after lunch bowl in a Paul Becker Dublin. Its tasty stuff but sadly gone forever. Luckily I like HU Vaper blends as well. This stuff is aged which likely makes it smooth as silk. Of course I cant compare it to a new batch.
