Are you keeping Golden Flake in. CVP tin? The first time I saw this I thought it was a typo. I love CVP!

Trout stream in my smooth Brigham . With hot coffee. -6 at my house in NM. NWS says that's colder than Nome, AK. Hmmph. What can I say. Stay warm everybody.

A little cold for deck smoking, Chenet’s cake in a J Alan

A whole morning spent discussing water leaks with the neighbours and Severn Trent Water. This row of 5 cottages has 2 separate mains water supplies, one put in around 1890 for the top 2 cottages up the hill, another supply pipe laid around 1920 for the 3 at the bottom of the hill (including mine). Right down by the road, is a spring-fed well which originally served all 5 (it would have been 150 yards hauling buckets uphill so you can see why the ones at the top opted for a mains water connection first). Water company says both pipes have leaks and it's our collective responsibility to fix. This is in dispute, and may run and run. Oh the pleasures of living in Merrie England. Meanwhile, a soothing pipe of Irish Flake in this GH Caword signature Dublin... Happy Monday, folks.

How many Nuttens pipes do you have? They look really nice!

Thanks,
So far 5 Bings and a Twiggy but I’m holding out for the right Large Billiard as well. He does really good work for a fair price and so far all 6 of mine smoke really well and are also very well crafted.

Forgot to open a tin of Steamworks last night to dry out, so..

'18 FVF in the Radice Clear E.
It is BALLS COLD today. 6° at the moment.

Lee Apple with a bowl of Ennerdale. No fear of ghosting - I’m not afraid of that ghost.

I bought it on a whim this morning while passing a newsagents that always has a different stock of pipe tobacco, they had a load of Rattray's tins today and I went for Bagpiper's Dream purely because of the name (I'm a piper). Turned out to be one of those moments where the universe just drops something delightful onto your path, it tastes and smells divine, I get berries and some kind of alcohol like sherry or brandy, almost like a good mince pie which makes me think it would've made a good xmas blend! Unlike most virginia-forward blends it doesn't bite me too much, only followed it up with a smoke of Revor Plug because it didn't quite give me the vitamin N dose I needed today. I think it'll be one of those blends I make sure I'm always stocked up with

Back at it again in the garage ghost busting. This time with some greatly appreciated advice from @BenMN, thanks again bud.


Joining me in my quest is my Sav 127 loaded with Bayou Morning and a delightful black coffee.

 

[JimInks]

Well, I did get an hour's worth of sleep in total, but gave up and am smoking 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.

Snow day. Clearing the trucks and the drive with some Five Brothers in a Cob. Back to work tomorrow.

Pipe by Lee loaded with lots of vitriol … I mean Captain black grape.

In continuing my peaceful morning and the calm before the storm, that is before my little monkeys are fully awake. I decided to spark up some LNF in my Kaywoodie ninety fiver while polishing off the remainder of my coffee.

Happy MLK jr. Day!
