Had a light low calorie snack, and am have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of 018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth brown medium bend briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Watching a movie about Jackie Gleason.

About to start my daily shift but prior to that a bowl of Mc Barens Navy Flakes in a Savinelli Punto Oro 1003 unfiltered medium billiard from 60ies

Did a little more low calorie snacking, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

I've been really putting this rusticated Dr. Grabow Royalton to work today! First I smoked C&D Pegasus, then Carter Hall, then Prince Albert, and now Carter Hall again.




Historically Carter Hall has always been my favorite of the bunch, though since I started smoking my Burley blends with Dr. Grabow filters to smooth them out a bit I think I might actually like Prince Albert best. With Carter Hall I really taste the whiskey topping and the acidity of the bright Virginias the most when it's run through a filter, but with Prince Albert what I get the most of is cocoa and the natural nutty Burley flavor. Carter Hall seems a bit sweeter as well.

It's still a darn tough choice which I like better though, so I think I may have to do a week where I smoke nothing but Prince Albert and Carter Hall to really make up my mind about which I like best and should stock up on!

Peterson Luxury Blend in Nording Signature. I purchased this pipe in the first year of smoking a pipe, February of 2013. It's hard to believe it's been so long. It was my first Nording, and began my love of them. I've found Nordings, regardless of grade or cost, to be fantastic smokers.

Last smoke of the day (I hope) is year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Feeding the ferals now.

Just finished a lunch of Tuna steak with wassabi mouse. Tea time and continued Janneman Flake experiments. This time its 2/3 JF and 1/3 Louisana Broken. Its good but I think the LBF is overpowering the janneman. Next experiment may just be extra perique. Smoking a Peter Klein.

EDIT: 15 minutes in and this is definitely GOOD! This might be my next HU home party mix to put in rotation.
