Just finished smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Going to take a little forum break to take care of some personal business.
Gawith Hogarth & Co. Black Irish X rope cut in a Stanwell 32 bulldog, my first rope cut in some years, a robust blend, a step down from the brown twist, but plenty twisty. Mild here, 'have to take a walk.
Decided it was time to open one of the C&D blends I’ve got (minus a We Three Kings I’m saving for the 2023 holidays). Went with the Super Balkan in my fairly small Scotts sandblast Dublin (there may be a better description). When I imagine what pipe tobacco tastes and smells like — this is pretty much it.
It’s hot in LA today — will be the warm super bowl we’re being promised. Go Rams!
Now, drying out my first bowl of Sutliff Mocha Strips, drinking a Voodoo Ranger Imperial ...earlier, black coffee and Newminster 400 in a beat up cob. ...later, HH Pure Virginia in my biggest pipe (Kaywoodie Sabbiata Gold). Cheers folks, happy Saturday
Saturday evening, hot red spicy drink in the mug, first bowl of a new pouch with Orlik Golden Sliced in the Charles Towne Cobbler pipe, cod fish soup is boiling for dinner... Sometimes life is good. Can also be a real bitch. I guess the secret is to enjoy the moments. All wise men say so. Sounds simple but it's not. The good thing is that we, pipe smokers, now a bit more about it...
