Relaxing after a wonderful salad, porterhouse steak and pinto beans dinner with a slice of chocolate mousse cake for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching The Big Street starring Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball.

A third of the way through the 50/50 PS Navy Flake X Grand Prix in the Ed's 721 with a X. Very satisfactory results so far the brownies are still there fairly solid but I can taste the virginia and perique taking over for sure. DP the drink because I just grilled. After this bowl it's going to be Dubliner and Red Diamond.

I'm going to lay out a 2:3 Navy/GP mix for tomorrow....I have a feeling that's gonna be real good.

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

First a bowl of 60%/40% Kendal Kentucky and Sutliff 505 RC-1 smoked in a Rattray's Devil's Cut Reverse Calabash, then a home blend imitation of "Revelation" smoked in a Jeppesen Stack, this is supposed to be Einstein's favorite blend, kind of a "everything and the kitchen sink" theme with equal parts Red VA, Bright VA, Burley, Kentucky, and Latakia, then 10% Preique.

The bowl of Kentucky with RedVA tonight wasn't as falvorful as I hoped, but I did just blend it up yesterday so maybe with a few weeks it'll get more full.
The home blend Revelation was actually much more enjoyable, it has some Rum and tiny amount of Anise flavoring in that one as well, I think I'll add some more of those when I refresh the blend someday (I think it needs Perique upped to 15%).
