Yesterday's morning smoke: Rattray's Accountants' Mixture in a Marxman Super Briar smooth billiard. Today's afternoon smoke: Hunter's Delight (a B&M house-blend) in a rusticated Carey Magic Inch half-curve. Briar Lee recommended both pipe brands, and to him I say, "Thank-you!"

The Carey looks something like this:

Carey pipes are under appreciated. I have four. In fact, I just finished a bowl of Ennerdale in a Carey Featherlite blasted pot!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2004 Edgeworth Slices in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored tapered lucite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

This morning I played heathen and slept in, then went outside to sit on the deck and enjoy the weather. I had another round of Rattray’s Red Rapparee, in the Falcon Plymouth bowl this time, to see whether it’s as good as yesterday’s bowl. It was, and it’s much more to my liking than EMP. I’m going to be sad to finish up the sample, so I’ll have to order a tin soon.

After the R3, I picked some berries: the thimbleberries are winding down, but there will be a lot of blackberries this year.

Watching an old western.

Had my first bowl ever of Captain Earle’s Ten Russians this evening, in a Mastersen Freehand army mount. Had some RL Seale Barbados rum, a little English Teatime tea, and water to accompany.

The tobacco was truly delicious, though I will say that the nic-hit was far less than I had been led to believe. Can’t wait to try the other Captain blends that I got along with the Ten Russians. (Nightwatch, Private Stock, Mystic Blend, et al.).
