Thanks, timt. You made me grin.?

Have a smoke, and give it some thought, before making any rash decisions.?
Oh believe me, I've been smoking and thinking for awhile now. Anyway, my pipe racks contain several rash decisions, so that wouldn't be anything new.

Well, they’re giving back and extra 5% this month (whatever that means) on every pipe they accept. Been thinking similarly, but I have a couple handfuls of briar I just can part with. ?☕
There you go, it's a sign. I could see keeping my 2 Dunhills - one was a gift and the other is my birth year......see, already rationalizing and bargaining.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm about half way through this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DRA 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee neat, is my drink. Watching Pennies From Heaven starring Bing Crosby.

Going to down an IPA with a bowl of SantaDrive. Something fruity about these two…we’ll see if it works. ?‍♂️
Replying to my own post means only one thing. It actually works quite well together. I don’t think all IPA’s are going to - but, a hazy juicy IPA with the right hops… yes. Some grapefruity with some tropical essence - I wouldn’t normally drink beer with a pipe - but, this is a match. I’d recommend trying it if you have the parts to make the experiment whole.

2019 Yorktown in a Stanwell Pick Axe gifted by a generous man who I worked with for a few months. The pipe is fantastic, and finally I’m starting to like Yorktown (fresh it was not my liking, but after some age it’s starting to shine!).

I enjoy a few beers with a pipe. Really like a Smoked Scottish Ale with Some Northwoods English or Balkan Supreme.
