Back deck is almost finished, a little more painting to go when this rain dries up. In the meantime, some Cowboy Coffee in the new Stublin.

@hoosierpipeguy Sounds like it would suit the King's Clay!
Certainly hope that you recover quickly and the fever being down is a good sign.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes. I appreciate it very much.
2 half bowls of Rouseco Golden Harvest Silver - a blend of burley, orientals and virginia - back to back in the Peterson Pub pipe with 9mm filter. Supposedly this is milder than their mild version. I had the second bowl to confirm what I was tasting. This is a bag pipe tobacco ... some say RYO but I think its closer to pipe tobacco than cigarrette tobacco although it is a ribbon shag cut. The bag note is prune, plum and a bit of vinegar, I could taste the virginia and some red virginia. I didn't notice any oriental. It does have some topping. It had a strong rich sweet flavor like sweet bread dough before its baked. It does have some burley in it to which I am highly sensitive but only enough to sting and clear my sinuses not enough to produce any tongue bite. Its not bad at all and very mild and certainly worth the price (12oz @ $13). I would compare its flavor to mixing C&D Sweet virginia mixed with some Sutliff 707 Sweet virginia. I dd find it quite smokey and a strong in flavor ... like an english compared to a straight virginia. I think next time I will pack it tighter and sip it to try to discern any other flavors. I did not notice any ciitrus or tea flavors...more like an added chemical topping that was slightly acidic.
Watch City Simply Red in my J Mouton. I'd been working through some weird open tins lately, but now I'm back to my regulars. This stuff is great.
HU Director’s Cut purchased February 2020 in PCI Horn Meerschaum carved by Ahmet Govem.
@Carol Get well soon!
Brown Flake Scented in a Pete 9B
This morning it's more GH Black Irish Twist in a Pete. I have to say I love this stuff and I'm starting to wonder if Granny's nicker draw is safe from me now. This stuff is dark fired leaf with lashings of soap and its as smooth as a babies bottom, stays lit and is a very easy smoke, not a rough edge in sight.
@Carol get well soon, look after yourself.

It's there, just light and fleeting. You have to hunt for it.
