Hot tub time!

New AGovem Turkish cob arrived in the mail today. Had a bowl of swr out of it and will likely have more swr out of it for the rest of the day. I also had a swr bowl out of a Savinelli 104 Tre rusticated this morning.

Not sure if it’s your first meer or not but just beware that the first few smokes will be a bit muted until the bowl is saturated with tobacco oils.

Billy budd in my Sav Estella with some scotch.

Finished happy hour with some Best of the Rest English in a Big Ben Bulldog with sour mash to drink. My wife hates when I smoke English blends. She asked how she could go on tobaccoreviews and put "Peeeewwuuuu" as a room note?

CRF ‘22 in a Mike Bay bulldog my belated Christmas present to myself (PAD fix)

Finishing up what I have left of C&D Big n’ Burley in cob

Smoking some C&D Autumn Evening in a Ben Wade rustic. A tad on the wet side.

btw, one of the roving gangs of local turkeys assaulted my front porch this morning. The closest one was eying my hand, hoping i had some treat (Nope!). These birds are a menace in the 'hood!

Looks like a gang of Jakes. Good thing you're not a hen

Just finished some big n burley. Now finishing up a tin of Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake.

Gentleman Caller in a Ropp Vintage 420 Bulldog with a horn stem. First dive into deer tongue and I like it.

First smoke of the new year and thanks to a generous member on these forums I am smoking Germain King Charles out of my Golden Square meerchaum lined straight billiard. Having never smoked Germains I am getting accustomed to the shag style cut and learning very quickly this blend rewards with small intermittent gentle puffs so as to not overheat. It is well with my soul.

MB Dark Twist Roll Cake in the little clay. @halfdan two of the coins, and a pinch of stuff on top made a full bowl. If you want the blacksmith to light it you might need to hang around for a minute to make sure it’s going. Once lit, all good! Goes well with a sturdy Claret

TCS 50th in my MarTelo paneled bent billiard.

 

[cshubhra]

Esoterica Margate from 2019 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard

Very windy here in the desert southwest, but I'll still be able to huddle on the leeward side of the house for some Salty Dogs in a Savinelli dry system with Gentleman Jack to accompany this wonderful tobacco.View attachment 193903

This kind of carving always makes me think of the stitching on Frankenstein's monster... !

 

[Servant King]

More lunting this afternoon w/the family. About five coins' worth of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake in my MM Country Gent. Bird report: Oak titmouse, California quail, House finch, and Acorn woodpecker. Ground is still unbelievably saturated. Feels more like Seattle than SoCal!

Ready for some homemade Daal this evening. Beginning Season 2 of the original Star Trek. Wish my parents named me "Deforest." That'd have been so cool...

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a three quarter bend smooth dark brown Made in Ireland (1938-1948) pre-Republic Peterson 367 with a 5 in a circle Shamrock apple military mount with a black vulcanite flared p-lip saddle stem.
