Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match In a black sandblasted full bend 2025 Rinaldo YY Lithos dublin with a tapered amber tortoise shell acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess is improving. She's only been in and out twice while I was eating dinner. She's in right now lying by my feet. Harry spent much of the day sleeping under the kitchen table, and he went out about twenty minutes ago. Tomato the Brave has been in to eat and run today.

Everything else notwithstanding, you are drinking the coffee I grew up on, and still drink to this day. When I was a kid (started drinking coffee at 7), Community was only available in Louisiana, Mississippi, and coastal Texas. Both of my parents hailed from Mississippi, and I was born in Louisiana. When we later moved to Alabama, it wasn't available there at the time. I clearly remember my father bringing home a 12-bag case of Community 1-lb. bags any time we visited MS or LA relatives, or later, when I was in college in MS, he would have me bring a case home a couple of times during the school year. I did the same thing well into my 30's, as it wasn't made nationally available until the early '90s.

Excellent, flavorful choice of beverage, sir.
I always take mine "neat" as well.

Yeah . . . . have trouble with that, too. Should really leave the filter in because I seem to be very susceptible to tongue bite, but . . . . 😒

Nice pipe btw!!
I’d read some reviews of it saying it was a wet pipe, but I’m not having that trouble.

Maybe starting to get through my thick head to slow down and enjoy the flavors.

Two friends on another forum, both unfortunately deceased, turned me on to Community Coffee. Both of them wrote their drink as I do because they drank it neat as well. Every time you see that phrase, you can bet that I am remembering two very wonderful people who were dedicated to being special human beings who enjoyed pipe smoking and good coffee.

A quarter of a bowl left of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight smooth 2023 Peterson Red Killarney 53 lovat with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip saddle stem. Tomato the Brave and Harry the Hairy came in to eat, but neither ate much, and went back out. Daisy the Feral Princess is lying on a catnip sock.
