@Laurent I'm getting some Pirate Kake to smoke in my clay pipes when I go to Matlock Bath Pirate Mutiny this year.

@RobNYC I enjoyed the Old Dark Fired in my clay pipes; a bit stronger than I'd normally smoke but well suited to clays!

Gosh, sorry, I had a brain short-circuit. You're drinking Ardbeg, but it's Laphroaig that makes the Quarter Cask. They're both heavily peated Islay style (and down the road from each other), so I still think you'd like it. Just clarifying.

Ah yes, I’ve purchased Laphroaig cask strength before. It is absolutely wonderful. One of the first Islay Scotches I ever drink.

GLP Barbary Coast -- burley, Virginia, Perique and brandy -- in a Savinelli long-stemmed Prince of Wales, prince shape of course, with an amber swirl stem. I get to assemble the stylish blini, creme fresh, smoked salmon, and salmon caviar. I think there's some white wine chilling to pair with them. In contrast to my making cheeseburgers for lunch with Lager.

I've tried ODF in a clay recently and it was quite delightful. Bold Kentucky worked very nicely in a clay as well.

@weezell I bet that Gawith tobacco would smoke well in a clay pipe!

@Laurent I like the cow horns!
Been smoking PS Nougat in my clay pipes; I found out this is the pipe weed used in the Lord of the Rings films!

Made a loaf of bread ? tonight; thinking of making another to freeze.

@Winterreise @Jacob74 suggests I get a tin of 7 Seas for the Pirate Mutiny at Matlock Bath!

Had a bowl of Three Friars in a Rubio Vittoria earlier and just finished some Autumn Evening in a Royal Danish as the wind and rain headed in. First real precipitation we've had since August. Normally you can see a mountain just behind the flags.

Almost to the dottle in the last bowl. The Silver Grain handled the black cavendish deftly. Excellent. Going to smoke some Dubliner in one of the square chamber pipes. Red Diamond and old Star Trek.

What takes you to Rocky Mount? My NC manager lives very close to there, we do a fair amount of business there and in the area. Stop in at Pipes by George in Raleigh if you have a few extra minutes.

I chose it as a place to sleep, as it was about mid-point between Tykes island and my home. I will try to hit up Raleigh if possible, but it is a bit off the way. However this gives me an idea - Change my layover from Rocky Mount to Raleigh. Then I can possibly visit the Pipes by George ?
