Is there anything better than Kajun kake? Been smoking on an 8oz tin from 2009 over the last couple of years and it is sublime!
Off to work with a bowl of Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I let Abner the Eager back in, and m'lady's drying the water soaked fella off. He'll eat plenty afterward.
2017 CRF in a Wiley. Still has a bit of an edge to it. Might take another 5-10 years. Hope I'm still around. 
Keeping it rustic and brutal with some Kelly’s Coin in an abused HIS basket pipe hahaha. I’m one step closer to true curmudgeon status.
Birds of a Feather Anomalous in a Savinelli Author. 
It's my first tin a Kajun Kake and I have been enjoying it. Been alternating with Chenet's Cake which I'm smoking now in the same Derry. Trying to figure out which one I like best. Likely end up buying several more tins of each, just to make sure.
Does that count for a hat trick?Nice Canadian Canadian, Canadian.
A new persona Top 5 aromatic! C&D Granby Station, an applejack with just a touch of vanilla, in an about worn out $5 MM. Not just incredible taste, but incredible burn characteristics. Maybe it was perfect humidity for the blend, but most of you and I have tried some delicious blends at 15 different relative humidity levels, with the bleepin' thing just not wanting to burn consistently. I legitimately couldn't ask for more from this blend, and that's coming from a guy who's not in love with aromatics, but latakia.
Solani in the 2025 St Patrick’s Peterson 106 sandblast. Don’t know why it looks like it has a big hole in the bowl but it does not.
Evening V/P (with an emphasis on the P) in a chunky Castello Sea Rock G apple and a dram of Mortlach 15.
Aalborg again, but in a cob this time. I have been putting off evening feeding of the critters due to rain. There is a lull, so I am off!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed all the ferals.
I used to toss out the scraps of whatever I was jamming in my pipe. So I finally started putting the leftovers into a jar. Finally gave the leftovers a try tonight. Was very pleasantly surprised. Quite good. Heavy on the Virginia side though.
In my Castello sea rock briar.

G&H Scotch Flake in an Altinay.
Now smoking year 2020 C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to an unedited episode of You Bet Your Life starring the one, the only... Groucho! Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Never let the tail end of a good cigar go to waste! A Pappy van Winkle Family Reserve in a MM cob.
Kendal Mixed in an Ahmet Govem meer.
A third of the way through a bowl in a Smooth Moonshine Stoker with light brown brindle saddle stem.
