Lunted the dog with more Hal O'the Wynd in a Butcher's Boy, the best VaPer on the planet & now Balkan Passion in an Aldo Morelli Calabash, with Italian coffee.
My first try of Manil's 'La Brumeuse' Pure Semois in a Northern Briars RoxCut Regal. Though I love this pipe, it has not been a great smoker for me until today. Man, it came alive! Didn't hurt that the Semois positively sings to be on fire. This Northern Briars is only a Group 3 but still one of the biggest chambers I own, so I believe it has found its place as a Semois pipe. And I am an instant convert to this tobacco -- earthy, even mossy, and thoroughly delicious. A perfect smoke.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
Whelp... It has finally come to this. I was singing a minute ago, ...to my tobacco. "Rimbochéééééé, Rimbochéééééé! I cannot waaaaait to smoke my Rimbochééééééééé...!"
Five Brothers in a Missouri Meerschaum Carolina Gent with some black coffee while I work up motivation to knockout a long list of chores. The caffeine an nicotine should do the trick.
