Velvet, the old pouch burley blend, in an orange stain, orange stemmed Jerry Perry bent billiard, a perfect compact (if not quite a pocket) pipe. It's the same pipe I took for my pilgrimage to Nat Sherman's on Manhattan. I think Velvet is a fine "background music" blend, when you want to focus on something else but have a good burley going -- mild and slow burning. At Nat Sherman I had their 536 blend, a refined English.

I’m headed out to do a little gardening with some Ten Russians in a MM Legend and a cheap American cigar from a pack that a friend gave me last week (I'm too embarrassed to mention what they are but I kinda like them). I’ll be taking a Theakston’s Old Peculiar Ale with me and a little grog made with Woods 114 Proof Navy Rum and a little water. Let’s see how much gardening gets done.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of Watch City Beta Test Blend #1 in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.

2015 GH&Co Louisiana Perique Flake in a c. 1955-60 Charatan 61. I saw one come up on SP’s fresh estates, so I had to pull this one out and smoke it.
