Beautiful grain!
I am smoking some HH Rustie in a Doug Finally freehand.
Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.
Folklore in the Pete Short Army Pot with coffee. Turkeys made way for the deer who are picking their way through the yard this morning, under the keen watch of Zephyr.
Thank you Christos, I think I’m gonna need a lot of luck and patience.
@PaulTheScandinavian Certainly, Sir, I will try to share as I can: I bought a pound of this last year and jarred it all up save 1 oz in a small jar, which has been mostly ignored for a year. It is perhaps a bit dryer now (but not crunchy). I loaded it mostly gravity with a light press, not tight at all. Took the match readily and it burned just fine down to the proverbial fine white ash. Did not have to pull on it at all and no tongue burn. I did, as my habit, puff fairly steadily, but kept the breathing in light. About half way, used a pick to move around the bottom of the pack, tamped very lightly, and it continued on... try it again in a smallish bowl or perhaps half a bowl and see how it goes. When I first tried it, it was quite soft and gentle, and kinda boring...at this time I am better able to appreciate it than i was then. I actually found it soothing on my tongue after a bit steamier Sam's Flake (i didn't let it dry at all) the night before.

I’m making Tandoori chicken for dinner, my mothers old recipe and one of my favourite dishes with potatoes roasted in sesame, poppy, mustard, fennel, cumin, coriander and nigella seeds and spices with Basmati rice as well.
I suppose I should mention that I’m smoking 1792 in a old 30/40’s GBD reject and drinking Hobgoblin aged Ruby ale.

Got some MATCH 20 resting in my Crown Monarch CR1.
Did a set of walking reps on this sunny, chilly, windy day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
