Very satisfying

Love to see a picture of that!

The line between aromatics and lightly cased/topped blends can be thin. Nebari though is pretty far from what I'd consider an aromatic. It does have a light cocoa topping but it doesn't translate to the flavor unless you puff it hard.

Right on. Ima get some.

GH&CO Best Brown in a RDPOWELL egg

Peterson Sherlock Holmes in a Peterson Dracula bent bulldog. First tin of this one and didn't much care for it at first. Found it to be a bit bitey and the citrus flavor off putting. After sitting around for a couple of months it has calmed down into a tasty tobacco.

Last bowl of the night is HH Bold Kentucky in the MM Washington. Right when lighting I could smell the some Beyond Brave/Captain Black Royal lol

Bayou Morning in a Irish Seconds.

Pegasus in the Kai Nielsen,
last one for me today.

Midnight bowl of GH&Co DarkFlake Aro in a Royal Danish.

 

[The Clay King]

Having some Elizabethan in a Marxman Super Briar. Really happy I revisited this blend because I smoked the first tin before I really nailed my cadence and what not.

@Tate I enjoyed my clay bowl of Elizabethan Mixture at last year's Nottingham Pipe Show, wearing the redcoat uniform in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

Finished work for the day, smoked a few bowls of tobacco, fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, and I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke.

While ZOOM-ing with my buddies this past afternoon, I smoked my James Upshall FH rusticated Lovat, filled with some Carole Burns blended Wilke #524 with Syrian Latakia from the mid-teens. I paired that with a large mug of Barrie House Clay Avenue Blend coffee. The conversation, camaraderie, coffee and pipe made for a wonderfully satisfying afternoon.

Into the main card of UFC now and still going strong on this after three hours.

Damn it Jeff. I thought you were older. You've gotten 20 years younger. What the hell are you drinking? You look fantastic, that's Jeff. God bless you, brother.

Half way through this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. That'll do it for me today. It was tricky feeding the ferals due to the rain, but I managed to find places to separate them so all could eat in peace.
