Last smoke of the day is 1970s Prince Albert in a smooth three quarter bend 1979 Ben Wade Golden Matt freehand sitter with a brown pearl acrylic stem. I learned one thing about truth in advertising: the foil package is described as having a "Sta-Fresh Seal" on it. Well, I opened up the pack and the tobacco was still moist and fresh. Quite an amazing thing! Now to see how it tastes.

Couldn't sleep and I'm not far from finishing this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. A cup of Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching Wanted: Dead or Alive.
