Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking Two Friends Homeward Bound in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Smoking Big n Burley in a cob with some coffee.
Only one bowl left of this after this one and this tin is finished (I have another one unopened though). Trying to pare down some of my number of open tins.
Just finished smoking year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s attached to the tapered black acrylic stem. Had a lot of feral drama. I'm going to eat an apple since everybody else ate.
This morning its a mix of Marlin Flake and HU Edward G with a sprinkle of lat in a Rovera. Coffee on the side...lavaza espresso blend #5.
Added...this blend is really tasty. Edward G is a cousin to Marlin flake. It brightens it just a tad and the lat just barely peeks through making it a little complex. Its a repeat.

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel cap with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit.
Once again, the bushy tail stripesy returned with Sam the Scamp. Even though they are friends, BTS wouldn’t eat while Sam ate even though I set out a plate for each. Finally, I picked up BS and set him by a dish, and they both ate for about five seconds. Sam got nervous and walked off until BTS finished eating. I tried to get a photo of me holding BTS, but the iPhone made him nervous. Eventually, I let Sam in so BTS could eat in peace.
There's more to the story which I'll relate in my next post.

Last smoke of the day is year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
As Paul Harvey used to say "Here's... the... rest... of the story."
Tomato the Brave kept his distance after I scolded him about wanting to chase Sam, who jumped on top of my chair for safety and attention. Abner the Eager showed up to eat, and have a snooze on the couch. In the meantime, Daisy the Feral Princess was watching behind a door probably wondering what was the matter with those bone heads. After everybody was settled, Daisy came up to me in her typical imperious way and looked at me thinking, “Now that you fed the serfs, feed me, you blockhead!” How could I refuse the Feral Princess?
Daisy the Imperial Feral Princess wants to know why those chowderheads ate before she did. I didn't have a good answer.
