More Kajun Kake this time in a Peterson Derry 69 which seems to have become dedicated to the blend at least for the last couple of weeks.
I just finished a bowl of Haunted Bookshelf in my MM General. This is my first burley blend and the nice hit was heavier than I expected. The room note was cigarette-ish. I am glad it was just an ounce I picked up at my B&M shop. The guy warned me that he was more straight Virginia guy. I may be that as well.
Just made it back to the smoking lounge after a long day in Seattle. Happy to be back to the baccy shelves.
Time for something strong and satisfying. Puccini in a Celebi deep lattice reverse calabash.

Quiet Nights from 2022. One of my favorites. It was my first true Latakia love and I still love it years later. Sweet. Smoky. Savory. Tangy. So good!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am have passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem.
Moonshine Deviled Egg... Jarring up some of my cellar before it starts getting crispy and channeling my inner KC, just in the PA Northwoods rather than the WV southwoods...
I left my ole model '73 and Blackhawk in the safe.... but don't think that don't mean I can't grab 'em quick enough if any you rascal McCoy varmints come a thievin' for my Balls, though...

Haunted Bookshop was also my first burley, and it kicked my ass the first time I smoked it. By the third time I smoked it, I was intrigued. And then a few more later, I was in love. Haunted Bookshop is a complicated mistress: strong and overbearing at first but fiercely loyal later. I guess all I'm trying to say is don't give up yet: I had a whole courtship process with this blend hahaha. I am now obsessed with HB.
Smokey Joes? Or somewhere in Seattle proper?
Unfortunately, I’m done with the sample oz of G&H Kendal Mixed that I ordered with this smoke in an AGovem meer. The good news is that I like it so much that I ordered a 500g bag and an additional 4oz. Seriously, this stuff is fantastic.
Did a bit of low calorie snacking, and then smoked a bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess has been very active this evening batting around various things. She was on my lap for a while until I snacked, and when she jumped off, Tomato the Brave took her warm spot. He left when Sleepy Suzy gave him a stare down, and she's by my side purring away as always. I took the following photo of Suzy right before I posted this smoke.
Almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
I'm a bit late at posting but this evening's commute home consisted of ODF in my Canadian Club with plain water.
Hope everyone made it time safe.

Last smoke of the day is Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Reading while it's quiet.
This morning its tea instead of coffee. Im smoking some Old Fredder's in a Ser Jac Calabash. Ive been smoking this blend all week here and there. It is definintly going to be in the cellar. I suggest you get some if it comes your way.
Morning smoke of Amphora Red Full in a BBB silver Grain 675 group 4 long billiard,
Aged Burley Flake in the cobbit earlier this morning, been waking up at the crack of dawn lately and then exhausted by mid-morning, smoking seems to have mitigated that a bit
Some C&D Small Batch Eight State Burley in a BriarWorks small sandblasted bent apple with brindle amber stem. Followed later with a Rocky Patel toro A-10 barber pole cigar. Getting over a bug and didn't smoke as much as usual today.
Forgive me, but that in turn reminded me of this...Don't know why, but every time I see that tin of tobacco, "Two Mules for Sister Sarah" comes to mind. Kinda irritating, like a banal tune running through your mind.
