[bluegrassbrian]

Simply Apple is my drink.

Love this stuff! Is it not some of the best apple juice you've ever had, Jim?

 

[JimInks]

BluegrassBrian: Absolutely. Never had a better apple juice. It's almost like squeezing the juice out of the apples into your mouth. Their orange juice and lemonade are good, too.
Now smoking MacBaren Raw Classic in an egg shaped medium bend smooth Burgundy colored 1985 Caminetto with a black acrylic stem.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Indeed it does Jim.. I've found all of their offerings are top notch. The fruit punch is "simply" superb.
Next up for me is a big bowl of Solani 660 in the Mark Tinsky natural lovat.

Some Full Virginia Plug in a Dr. Grabow CDL this afternoon. FVP, when compared to FVF, is the perfect illustration of how much difference the “cut” of a tobacco can make. There is no doubt that the two are the same blend but they depart from each other in interesting and significant ways, like identical twins with different personalities. I really can’t say that I prefer one over the other, since they each bring something unique and enjoyable to the experience.

By the way, the CDL is a perfect, little plug pipe. It’s especially suited for blends like FV that are prone to moisture difficulties.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of C&D Big ’n Burley in a 1980 three quarter bend briar Butz-Choquin 55 skull bowl pipe with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Cherry Coke is my drink as I watch Mad Dog Russo.
