@Hillcrest Love it - he's lighting his clay pipe from a candle
I've had mine lit with a candle as well; need to make sure I don't set my beard on fire...

Hold it straight out and turned slightly to the side and lean forward a bit.

After seeing so many here enjoy their cigars, I had to wonder what I might be missing. So I bought a small tin of H Upmann 1844 Reserve apertifs. Got them yesterday, tried one today. Ummm-no. Did not care for it, at all. Will give them to my nephew. He smokes them ol cigarettes, and might like these. Live and learn. Back to my pipe. To each his (or her) own, yes? Good day all.

I went from pipes, later in life cigars, now back to pipes.

With all the amazing pipe blends out there, I’ve never looked back at pipes, until a few months back, not sure how I ran across these;

Black Cherry Cavendish

The Maduro wrapped brother of our Three Cherry Cavendish blend, The Durango Black Cherry Cavendish highlights a blend of Lemon Virginia and Black Cavendish with the sweet yet refined taste of dark cherries, cinnamon, clove, orange peels and American whiskey.

I have to admit, these do sound interesting, not your typical cigars.

Their other cigars are also quite interesting, makes me think, there’s more boutique cigars out there with different blending in them, more pipe like, etc...

P.S. Woo, Latakia, Perique, Virginia, Turkish. hmm

Classic Turkish Stout

A rich, slow burn of a full Oriental mixture of smoked Latakia, Perique and fragrant Turkish balanced w/ the naturally sweet flavor of matured Virginias, white tea leaves and Islay single malt scotch. Light this up at a campfire and there’s a good chance a piece of smoked hickory will start...

Aromatic hmm

Elmer's Burnt Peach

A medium blend of toasted Cavendish with the slightly sweet aroma of peach and rosemary, aged with American whiskey and cedar wood.

G.L. Pease Samarra in an Alguhan Cherrywood, my second and last try with this mixture. I continued with Creme Brulee in a GBD New Era Dublin to remove the bitter aftertaste.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, flounder and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City Mistletoe Jam (Christmas 2022) in a very small, slight bent black sandblasted Smokers Forum.UK 2015 POTY Chris Askwith Prince 5 with a tapered black acrylic stem with a flared bit. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Be well everyone!

This one goes out to @alaskanpiper because we’re having a Sitka day out here, and it made me think of Alaska and our Alaskan brother.

I stayed there a few months, the raining is insane, but at least more drizzle all the time, not buckets...

For those that don’t know it’s always raining in Sitka, probably the wettest place in the USA, and today here, it’s just like Sitka. LOL
