Got some business calls done. Back in the lounge with a bowl of Windjammer in a Moretti morta nosewarmer.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and then smoked a bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a medium bend black sandblasted 1925 Dunhill double patent “Shell” 56/10 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Currently, I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

Hitting the Mac Baren Golden Extra again
Took me quite a while to load my last post. Been having internet problems all afternoon. I've passed the first quarter of this bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat is my drink. Fed all the ferals, some of them twice.
Opened up a new tin of Old Dark Fired, as I felt my aged 2013 iteration had lost some of its flavor during its aging. As it turns out, this is a situation where the new one wins. Don’t ask me how, but the new has more of the vinegar/BBQ sweetness to it than the particular 2013 vintage I have. I don’t know, things can degrade over time? Let’s not discount that this blend has been out for a long time and features old Mac Baren tobacco to begin with. I do not think that the blend or leaves have changed drastically since 2013. The flakes look identical, both featuring a bit of chalky dustiness on them. Both are fantastic and extremely smooth for Kentucky blends, but the new one wins hands down with it’s BBQ sweetness complimenting the DFK. I wonder what they use in the casing?

I know what you mean. Once every blue moon, I get a Jiminks smoke, and I have no idea whether it's because of perfect atmospheric conditions, a slight bias of one leaf over another in that particular bowlful of a given blend, one's mood, or what else. It is the Lost Chord, Le Rayon Vert and Dame Vera Lynn singing 'A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square'. Precious moments, and I never know when I'm going to get one
Just smoked some Riverboat Queen from the CS. Smoked in a Dr Grabow Grand Duke.
Prince Albert in a new to me GBD Virgin Dublin.
My Gypo #1mix in a Ropp J11. Glad this work week is done.
Sitting outside on this beautiful, sunny January day.
Just got this new to me, Peterson, 101 Republic of Ireland,Billiard in the mail from Reborn Pipes.
Also in the mail was some WC Waltham Broken Cake, a Burley blend.
I’m very pleased with this new pipe- great first smoke with new blend.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
I had them set aside a pound for me. I was also able to pick up a few pounds of chocolate Supreme and a pound of the mocha. I'm very excited to try my had at blending some EZ1. I'll keep you all in the loop and hopefully don't give myself brain freeze in the process.
Thanks!
Watching Twin Peaks and smoking Kendal Gold Banana.
GH Broken Scotch Cake in a Pete PSB Milverton
Now smoking year 2014 HU Directors Cut in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a carved shank and a black acrylic tapered stem. This should get me to dinner time. Been traffic copping the ferals' eating time.
