Strangely I seem to have just lost my taste for strong dark fired blends the past couple weeks, so 1792 Flake, Coniston Cut Plug, and Brown Bogie have all been gathering dust on the shelf while I smoke Captain Black Original and Lane Very Cherry every day instead. I'm thinking I might pick up pouches of Borkum Riff Mixture with Bourbon Whiskey and Five Brothers this afternoon, just to try something new and shake up my palate a bit.

Get this one perfectly. I've had a major shift to plain tobaccos lately.with the firebrands taking a back seat for a bit. Ultimately, I think that all tobaccos are worth smoking. Nice cob btw.

A very dignified shot. It's the toque that does it, I think. Perfect prop. Don't think I've seen that pipe, either.

On my way to work. A new one for me today. G&H Grasmere in a Sasieni Two Dot. This tastes just okay. Actually, that’s not true. It’s an excellent blend of Virginia and Burley. The Burley adds some depth and strength, but I was looking for a floral essence and I’m not getting any from this one. View attachment 365454

Very strange. That one is meant to be the Rose Geranium bomb of the Hogwarts line up. I have several jars of the stuff pre 2018 which really are something special and those who I sent sample too say the something. Who had it in stock?

Just north of I-10. Spanish moss is great for snowman hair.

Shot of the week! Terrific. Put that one in my "Forum Files".

Is it ok to smoke C&D Autumn Evening when it's Winter? It doesn't matter! I'm a rebel! I have some in a meer.

I drink coffee when its a hundred degrees and eat pumpkin pie in summer. I smoke Autumn Evening year round. Im just a rebel

Just finished smoking year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Still chatting with my buddy.

Enjoyed a bowl of G.L. Pease Embarcadero in a La Rocca basket pipe, on a slightly warmer, sunny afternoon. Whenever I have this blend it reminds me that I need to explore more of the G.L. Pease catalog.

2013 H&H Virginia Spice in this Pete. Beautiful and sunny 45 dergrees on the deck.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Lunch follows this smoke.
