An unusual day for me. I’m having another couple of bowls and breaking in a couple new to me virgins. The first is a Dunhill Black Briar 806 ODA from 1975 with some Rum Twist
Back to back bowls, this time it's another McConnell's, Scottish Cake in a tiny Kaywoodie Super Grain Lovat. I'm so glad I got the advice to get some kaywoodie estates to pad my rotation. They were barely smoked, perfect for my budget, and are some of my better smoking pipes as they're getting more and more broken in by the week.
Right now Half & Half really hits the spot. When I first tried it I didn't like it. It seems I go through cycles of liking and not liking this blend more than any other tobacco.
Good to see I'm not the only the one.
I have a complicated relationship with Old Joe Krantz too. I wouldn't list it as one of my favorite blends, yet I seem to smoke the hell out of it.
Which is what I am smoking right now.
Carter Hall with a pinch of University FLake in a Sebastian Beo paneled billiard.
Whatever happened to Sebastian Beo pipes anyway? I have two SB billiards, both light in weight, classic lines, nice wide open airways and i didnt pay a lot for them either, wouldnt mind having another one or two.
Now smoking Watch City VaBur Test Sample in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent. This will get me to dinner time.
