Second smoke will be in a fisherman's pipe. Smoking the NAPSC 30th anniversary blend. Picked up both at the convention yesterday. Interesting thing about the pipe. Seller had no info on it. The size and buffalo nickel on the bottom grabbed me. After returning home I performed a few Google searches. Located the pipe maker. He originally made the pipe for a women's pipe smokers club. They requested to have matching pink stems. The stem also has crushed $100 bills in the band. Super friendly guy, even though I didn't buy his pipe from him directly I'll definitely be checking out his page in the future. https://www.etsy.com/shop/HerbBoothBriarPipes?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=474041485View attachment 241037View attachment 241038View attachment 241039View attachment 241040

That pipe is definitely worth a plugged (in) nickel.

Well done, sir.

Getting ready to watch the UFC 292 PPV—going to have McClelland Frog Morton (the original blend, which I’ve never had before) that my buddy, Chris just gave me, in an Altinok Meerschaum Squat Rhodesian. I might follow it up with Chris’s Frog Morton Match that he made with Sutliff Eastfarthing and about 30% Cyprian Latakia (sans the propylene glycol) and compare the two.

Suger Sean?

Suger Sean?

No idea. His movement and striking are so good, but if Sterling gets his back, it’s probably a wrap.

Well said. It will be interesting.

It sure tastes good to come back to an old friend like Old Joe Krantz. Peterson 80s.

Just a foot note to my previous post. It was my first time trying Opening Night and it certainly wasn't for me and I actually tipped the pipe out, very thin in flavour and smoke and not what I was expecting. I'll throw it in a jar for a few years but if you like your Virginias as I do there are many better and fuller smokes out there.

Up at the cottage in northern Ontario this weekend. About to head out to the campfire with my beautiful travel Nording stuffed with 2015 Union Square. If I was a Pharaoh, I would be be wrapped up and buried with my dog, a couple of my favourite pipes and for sure, Union Square!
