Brown No. 4 in a Cinar
Not for lack of trying are we birdless
Not for lack of trying are we birdless
Chilly afternoon makes a great excuse to hide away in the smoke lounge with some Pegasus in a Fatih freehand.
That is a spectacular photo and how fortunate to have been out with what appears to be a great hunting friend. Many of my bird less days were were some of my best days out with my GSP.
Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Just finished my late afternoon smoke, with my oriental dedicated Ropp J07, an extremely responsive pipe that always gives me some of my best smokes. Loaded it with a loose 2 pack of Sunday Picnic, which gave me the justified "nay" for my homerolled little cigarillo, filled with the same tobacco.
The tobacco was much, much better in the pipe. All of the nuances of orientals were wonderfully discerned in the pipe, and a jumbled potpourri wasted in the cigar, as I figured. Totally an aesthetic/practical personal conclusion based on my attitude towards the two most excellent mediums.
To be continued - new pipe/cigar pairing tomorrow. Picture is just a toss off taken and processed right at my computer just before posting.

Moved on to a little Haunted Bookshop in my Brigham. Cooling down fast. Almost time to hide inside. 
Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
I agree. I only have the one, but it is a great smoker. Very great value for the cost.

Time enough for a smoke before dinner. Ali Dubmeer with Fall ‘24 Rouxgaroux. A .3L mug of Saint Bernardus Belgian Ale accompanying.
Had a mostly lazy day today. Did some grocery shopping and jarred up the last of my big tobacco order. Having some PS LNF in a Goblin with water. Folded and stuffed. 
Glad I had some Kendal Plug/Black X in a pocket tin. The little Kaywoodie is only a 15-20min smoke.
Fantastic little pipe. A 15-20 minute smoke is all that is needed at times, eh? I have a set of miniatures for that very purpose! Also invaluable for rationing endangered tobacco!
HU Asmara in a Castello Collection Occhio di Pernice billiard.
Carolina Red Flake with Perique from Aug 2023 in a Peterson POTY 2024. First tin of this I've opened, it smells pretty tangy in the tin and is a good smoke so far. Tin likely won't last long.
Peter Heinrich’s Curly Block from April 2020 in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a Sav
A fast leftover 1/2 bowl of Lane 1-Q in the Vauen Olaf bent egg until my fingers started to get numb from 10 degree weather and wind chill. Weather report says 34 degrees; car says 20; wind says "Hold my beer" ... snow showers tomorrow night ... tiny pipe time !
