that makes me feel as if I am in nature just looking at it.
Is the stem carved like a giraffe?

Is the stem carved like a giraffe?
No morning smoke or cigar - just going over the past couple of pages of posts enjoying a wad of home-made chew, (1 part Captain Black Cherry and 3 parts SWR Tobacco) prior to Wednesday range duties and pistol practice.
I'll take a 35mm film container of the above mixture along with me (which is delicious, btw). I'll also take a couple of Colt Whiskeys along with me for an outdoor puff break in the alcove. Shooting indoors today. Too cold (-20) for outdoors unless you have masochistic tendencies.

The rain has arrived so I’m sitting down with an 11s packed with Peterson Flake. Gently sipping focusing on the sweetness listening to the rain. Very relaxing.

Thank'ee, @gord ... I prefer to think of GH twists as being more like BoerworsWords just do not do that stuff justice! And I'm not kidding you - as I was looking at your post, my blind and deaf 21 year old Shih-tsu Ricoh favoured the kitchen floor with a deposit.
I'm sure Extra S Brown Pigtail tastes pretty great, but my trepidation in trying it would be very similar to the first time I made soup with leftover vegetables and a stock made from a couple of shriveled up wieners, a few days before the pension cheques arrived.
Love the knife and pipe btw!
I shall review the Pigtail after a couple more smokes - that was my first one, and somewhat disappointing because a) I was in a mood; b) I didn't dry it long enough (5 hours, forsooth), and c) I smoked it in that Zulu, and a narrowing Dublin bowl with bent shank doesn't do justice to a tobacco as moist as that, especially with the humidity as high and the temperature as low as it is here at present. Next time, a straight-stemmed, round-chambered Meer... going to cut some up and start air-drying it now.

WC Waltham Broken Cake in the Peterson Derry 106. Strong black coffee.
Good day all! No snow here in Florida - just pollen. Clouds of the stuff coating everything: house, cars, grass, shrubs, me (if I stand outdoors for more than two minutes) that bakes on when the morning dew dries in the sun. After daily hosing of everything, started with Ennerdale Flake in a dedicated Tilshead smooth Footed Cutty with eighth-bent tapered stem.

Finished my bowl of Byzantium. Now I’ve moved on to a fresh bowl of Superior Navy Flake in an old Briarcraft. Wind chill near 0, can’t be bothered to brave the cold!
