An old, close friend and I headed out to a Michigan State Park for a walk. This particular campsite isn‘t that great ... in fact, it kind of sucks. It’s right next to state highway, which runs between the campers and East Bay, so the traffic is as noisy as hell. The lots are crowded together, the steel “fire pits” are poorly placed, and you have to cross a foot bridge over the highway to get to the beach. We didn’t go there for a dose of nature, though. We just wanted to smell the campfires and check out the RVs and campers and pop up trailers and tents. It was just a lot of fun to see what campers did with the limited space they had.
Boy, back on topic ... I took along a Peterson Premier System 312 loaded with Hearth and Home Chatham Manor; it goes well ambient campfire smoke. (There were a few cigar smokers out there, and two other people smoking pipes. One young guy who looked more like a soccer/football player puffed on a cob, and a lady who appeared roughly my age in a flannel shirt sipped on a long bent billiard while reading.)
My buddy and I gabbed so much while we were out walking that I only got a little over half way through the bowl, so I’m finishing it now, watching a really bad but funny episode of Lost In Space on MeTV. Iced tea is serving as beverage.
Bedtime soon ...

Now smoking Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.
Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke High Hat in a 1990 Peterson Irish Second Oom Paul natural with a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.
Last smoke of the day is Peter Stokkebye No. 400 Luxury Navy Flake in a smooth full bend dark brown 1977 Crown Coachman (Comoy’s second) 215 egg with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
We are on Sunday. For most observant Christians, Sunday is observed as a day of worship and rest

I'm smoking a mud lug off of an unknown tobacco plant raised with seed collected in a village in East Timor. Trying to figure out what type of tobacco it is. This leaf was sun cured on the plant. Leaves so low are usually really mild, low in nicotine, and flavor.
Being un aged, it wasn't terribly good. It has a slight tongue bite, mild sweetness, woody, complexity including jasmine and cedar (but this will probably go away if aged), and reminds me of sun cured bright leaf tobacco in the aroma and aftertaste. It has respectable nicotine.
The pipe, my favorite, I purchased from the pipe maker in Eskisehir. It's from a really dense and heavy block.

Trying McClelland Red and Black for the first time. Pulled out the Parks Rhodesian for this one. So good...
Smoking Sansepolcro in a Dunhill 4103 County. The drink in the background is an espresso doppio with a splash of lemon juice and tonic water, kind of an acquired taste, but one of my favourite summer drinks these days.
TAK - Tom’s Crumble Plug in a Turkish Meer.

Just finished a bowl of SPC Deception Pass from late last night, moving onto 'breakfast' which is a cob stuffed with Smoker's Pride Vanilla and a big mug of black coffee. ...failing miserably at a sneaky assassin style video game called "Hitman 2" and listening to lo-fi electronic music. Happy Sunday folks!
