A third of the way through this bowl of KBV B. Frog’s English Villain 2023 in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Working on the reviews.
Phantom Privateer in a Civic Senate with Reuben Jordan silver collar London hallmark 1925 with a very good Ukrainian vodka and grapefruit. 
Dan Tobacco - Hamborger Veermaster in a Radice and a Cup of Joe.
A break at work. Trying MacBarens HH Vintage Latakia for the first time on a Peterson Killdare (coming from aromatics). Not bad!
Is that a cat rug on your deck?
A quarter of the way through this bowl of undated McCranies Red Flake in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Mail call! Tin note is very vinegary. Also, the shipping box must have been used a soccer ball as the crumble cake was fully crumbled. No biggie since you’re gonna do that anyway, but just a note. Not getting much flavor but it’s the first bowl and my palate is only two years old. I’ll keep at it. 
K&K Caribbean Blue Bellamy again this afternoon. This is my second bowl of it, halfway through and it's much better today than it was yesterday. Getting a lot more of the honeydew today, more separation of flavors coming out. The orange flavor to it is more like a candied orange? Not orange flavored candy, but specifically candied orange, or what I would imagine it to taste like (never had any before). I can also taste more of the VA and burley in it (unlike yesterday where I mostly just only could taste the flavoring).
Formers Straight Grain in Altinay...fall is in the air in Wisco 
Staying on my C&D Constellation bender from this morning in yet another Ceppo ring grain, this one a poker.
Fresh Peterson Flake from a tin I just ordered last week. I wanted to compare it to the 2011 tins (Dunhill square tins) I have been through recently. I like whatever subtle flavoring agent they use on this and so fresh has its advantages over aged. Although the 2011 tins are smooth they were also a tad dry. Smokeable but some air had escaped those square tins over the years. Still, it's nice to know STG has kept this one consistent over the years. A constant in a sea of change all around us.
Pipe: a Stanwell made in Denmark sandblasted Canadian from the Danish Slow Smoking Championship. I would tell you what year it is but then I'd have to tip my ashes over onto my lap! (I think 1994?)

Some HH bold Kentucky in a Rossi 8320.
I’m pretty impressed by the quality of this Rossi.

Savinelli Punto Oro Gold 320 KS and Father Dempsey. I forgot how much I adore this blend, it never disappoints after a break from smoking it.
