Just returned home after spending much of the day and evening with my old college room mate and his wife, plus his sister and brother. We had a great time. I have about a quarter of a bowl left of Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem.
GLP Union Square from 2014 in a blasted Stanwell 81.
No, I'm not. I'm not sure exactly when it happened. I do know I started hearing the complaints in 2014. A friend sent me a sample, hoping I could figure out what changed. I didn't have to go far into the first bowl to figure it out. Since the complaints came in fast and furious at that time, I am assuming that was the year of change. That's as much as I can tell you.
Acadian Perique in a Savinelli 606KS Bianca.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am now smoking Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. A cup of Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
Germain’s King Charles in the Ferndown in a chilly breezy night.

Durbar in a Comoy's Straw Matt 17. This pipe tends to smoke wet with some blends but pairs nicely with dry, oriental-forward mixtures.

A couple more bowls of Sutliff Christmas Spice left. It’s shaping up well to have the last bowl as the ball drops.

A bowl of Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake in my Dr. Grabow Grand Duke.

Earlier this evening, I enjoyed the company of good fellow smokers, with a bowl of Peterson's 2003 Special Reserve in an Peterson's Antique Collection "1910" bulldog, that my wife purchased for me, in 2002, at the Grafton store in Dublin, as we travelled through Ireland.
This social smoke was accompanies by a wee dram of Kilchoman Cask Strength (well, actually, not so wee).
