Staying up late since I started late, Rouxgaroux in a Stanwell and Parsons blend in a Made In London England. Tea and honey and a good book.

Downed a clay of Special Virginia in under a minute yesterday - getting some practice in for the fast smoke. Dropped a load of vapes off at Brimington Co-op yesterday on the way to Mum & Dad's for dinner.
Do you think the Egremont fast smoke should have its own thread?

That amount of time to smoke a bowl in a clay would be normal for me and not constitute a "fast smoke." Clay bowls are just too small.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and an a quarter of the way through this bowl of Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Listening to the Dodgers-Padres game as I work.

@Pappy Coon I was smoking Yorktown at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill when Jason the blacksmith lit my clay pipe with an ember from his forge!

 

[JimInks]

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Uhle’s Blend 71 in a 2018 smooth full bend Peterson Premiere 312 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a black vulcanite saddle stem with a p-lip. Runnng low on this blend. I'll end the day with this smoke.

 

[Skippy B. Coyote]

My smokes for the rest of the day today have been:

- Super Value Bourbon Whiskey in a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman

- Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Rattray's Blower's Daughter

- Mac Baren Golden Extra in a Morgan Bones Milan


Tonight was my first time trying Golden Extra and it's pretty good! A mostly smooth and lightly nutty burley blend that's apparently considered an old timey codger blend over in Denmark. I've heard tell that there is a light chocolate topping on it, though if there is I sure can't pick it out. The burleys do have the same slightly astringent quality I found in Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake that vaguely reminds me of rotting grapefruit and made me not care for it, though that may just be a "me thing" since I've never heard of anyone else finding Mac Baren's burleys to be astringent tasting. Maybe I'm just more of a Cornell & Diehl guy when it comes to burley blends!
