Just finished a Chicago Pipe Club meeting (they were all at the Arlington Pipe and Cigar Lounge, and I on ZOOM). It was great to connect with my friends. Hopefully I can soon join them.
I'm still out here, under the gazebo, finishing up my bowl of McClelland's Klenderwood, a 2005 reintroduction of a Barry Levin blend. This was presented as a tenth anniversary special edition at the 2005 CPCC show. It is a wonderfully smooth, Oriental forward, English blend, that has mellowed nicely.
I'm smoking it in the Sherlock Holmes Smooth Strand, that my wife purchased for me, at the Grafton Street Peterson shop, on our trip to Ireland, in 2002. I'm sipping my tea and Honey Jack cocktail.
