Wife out of town, so lots of excitement? Listening to 70s music while streaming some stuff, looking in on the forum and planning my raised beds garden layout, haha, it’s wild around here! 2023 Peterson SPD No. 68 and Newminster 400.

Did an extra long set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Was happy to realize I can take the day off from diet maintenance.

Smoking some Lane's Black Raspberry in a Limited Edition Radfords 1995 Pipe of the Year. Another real nice aromatic tobacco.

Bayou Morning in a Cob. Tin note is of Parmesan and 6 day old gym socks. But tastes damn good.

We’ve got a chiweenie, a chiwhippet, and recently lost a couple of long haired chi’s.

Is the 2014 all gone now?

The 2014 tins are. I'm smoking the last of the EGR tins now. The one EGR tin I am not smoking is the very first one that was produced. Sutliff made sure I had that one since tinning EGR was my idea. Anyway, I've plenty of old EGR tubs to smoke out of once this tin is finished.

Lane Limited HGL, a real old-time aromatic that I've taken a shine to lately, having discovered it in the back of my stash, in a Tsuge "tasting pipe," a straight tapered blast billiard that unlike its name might suggest, is full-sized, and has an interesting light blast finish that looks almost like the weave of a fabric. The pipe is fully Tsuge quality and one of the best deals in pipes I've enjoyed.

To celebrate International Pipe Smoking Day I ordered 300 regular BJ Long pipecleaners, 24 churchwarden pipecleaners, and 2 more ounces of HGL, though I have much tobacco. This was 15% off at SP, though it was nine bucks for shipping, so I broke about even. I started out at PC, but they couldn't check me out because my ancient PC didn't line up with their check-out and they aren't staffing their toll-free phone, so I abandoned their 20% discount for 15% at SP.

Happy IPSD to all. I'll soon be well supplied with pipecleaners, which I often use a few times each for economy, old cheapie that I am. I still have some tapered pipe cleaners, but don't like them quite as well. I'll save them for when I need the extra fluffy end. I intend to open a tin or two of some of my choicer blends in the near future, so you won't all think I've gone full codger. It is surprising how well these old blends smoke, and how good they taste.

This was unsmoked. Not anymore! I’m no expert, but first smoke was perfect. No relights that this blend usually requires
