That was my favorite McClelland blend!!!
Haven’t had enough, jury’s still out.
Didn’t knock my socks off, but not bad. Might grow on me…
Out in the garage, trying Half & Half for the first time. Pretty good. Not too rich. 
Making a churchwarden, maybe?
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is still by my side trying to grab my hand for a scratch.
Getting this little Dublin started with some '17 Haunted Bookshop
Chenet's Cake in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. 
Very nice, Ben. She's a beaut. I just got a Sea Rock G on the way this weekend.
Topping off the night with one more smoke and one more dram. This time, all home blended goodies.
The whisky is a home blended malt with portions of Chivas XV, Johnnie Black 12, Omar Sherry Cask, Auchentoshan Three Wood, Aberlour 16 and a bit of Caol Ila 12 for uniqueness and complexity.
The "Pease Punch" is a home blend of mainly GL Pease blends, namely, '06 Fillmore, '08 Cumberland, '10 Mongomery and '13 Laurel Heights with about 15% '24 release Rustica for some added kick.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The owner of Ringo, formerly known as "The Shy One" of Sam the Scamp's brood, sent me a new photo of that li'l rascal. He sure has become a handsome fella.
SWRA in a Punto oro and Pegasus in a MM hardwood, generously gifted to me by my father-in-law. The hardwood is a great smoker.
A quarter of a bowl left of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight black sandblasted, smooth dark brown top bowl 2021 Jim Brown stack bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Been listening to the latest Per Jensen interview, which I greatly recommend.
HU Makhuwa in a Den's Freehand. 
Enjoyed a tasty Snap dragon apple, and am smoking Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Fed my cats, and all the ferals except for the absent Abner the Eager.
Some Dark Twist in a Ser Jacopo
Half way through this bowl of year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.
I mixed some Sutliff Black Cherry with some C&D Big 'n Burley this a.m. Smoking a bowl in my LHS Certified Purex cross grained dark walnut Lovat. Missing an adornment. got this 14 yrs ago for $2.00.
Sleep turned out to be a snooze, so I'm up and smoking year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Sleepy Suzy was happy to see me, but not happy that I moved her out of my chair, and on to the side. A little head scratching, and she's purring like a fine tuned motor so she's okay.
