Looking good, my man. Did you lose some weight and take the beard down to the bone?

It has to be done from time to time.

When you smoke that blend, do you adhere to a specific ratio, do you smoke em individually or is every time different? Just curious.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking the last of my stash of Wilke Coronado Oriental in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Listening to The Adventures of Superman from my radio collection.

I mix differently each time because it's more fun for me.

Love it. That’s what it’s all about.

It's 107 during the day and about 90 at night. So, nothing yet. But winds should blow into the valley by Friday, putting a pinch of my first tin of White Knight into my bowl.

Okay, so the smoke cleared and the temperatures lowered so I cracked open a new tin of 10 Russians. Now, I've never piped 10 Russians but many reviews grabbed my attention. I piped several hours ago and immediately, I enjoyed the salty, peppery leather and caramel of this blend. Definitely a lot of smokiness, and apparently a decent dose of nicotine, too. The tobacco lit extremely well with very few relights. War Horse, Nightcap and Maltese Falcone are my favorite blends. Will add this to my 'special, holiday rotation' to treat myself. So good!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke High Hat in an undated black sandblasted straight made in France Silvermatch Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
