Some Sutliff Crumble Kake No.3 in one of my many bent bulldogs.

Smoking 2014 Old Ironsides. This stuff is pretty nice for an English with Kentucky. I prefer Brebbia Balkan, but this is still really great. Before this I woke up at 4 AM and wanted something strong for whatever reason so I loaded a small bowl of Dark Flake Aromatic-an explosion of smooth Kentucky, nicotine, and licorice! It really hits the spot every now and then.
Love this pipe. Ashton? What are the specs?

Camping smoke: Grousemoor in a Bent Falcon
That is a truly outstanding Eltang, @Ben.R.C . Just beautiful!
It’s a custom Northern Briars Rox-cut regal Lovat. It’s about 4.8 inches long, but the bowl lasts about 45-to an hour long. My Dunhill group 2 has a smaller bowl on it. I love Ian’s pipes, one of the best custom English pipes and value in the business. You can order a custom pipe for 200 bucks such as this one.

Cigar Time: Crowned Heads Four Kicks Capa Especial
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am nearly half way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Jamaica Blue Mountain Dark Roast, neat, is my drink. Watching the Yankees-Rockies game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' in the bedroom.
Don’t mean to butt in, but make that three! I started the morning taking my old Tacoma to the car wash for a deluxe with wax and undercarriage anti-corrosive wash, vacuumed out the interior, then after a dry-off drive (one excuse is as good as another), cleaned the inside of my windows with Windex and gave the dash and center console a solid wipe-down with ArmorAll protectant. You’d think I installed new glass onto the 25-year-old beast.Two people I now know who clean their own vehicles........ me & you !
I also started the morning off with a bowl of two-year jarred P.S. Stokkebye Bullseye Flake in a Stanwell Amber 86.
Well (sorry, I know I go on), in the last week or two I dug up a quart jar I jam-packed with a 50/50 mix of Lane 1Q and Carter Hall a little short of ten years ago. More accurately, it’s cut with leftovers from a very old can of Captain Black original from when they still used coumarin as a flavorant (about 8-10%). Probably not everyone’s cup of tea.
I popped one of these jars and it smelled sweet like an old time drugstore blend. I‘m trying a bowl of it in a Peterson Aran 606 …
It could have used a little more drying time, but … not bad! Pretty darned good, in fact. The room note is terrific! Goes great with percolated Maxwell House.
