Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with a small bowl of butter pecan ice cream and a slice of egg custard pie for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Abner the Eager came through the rain for food and comfort. I dried him off, and he's eating now.

I got a package in the mail with 4 100g tins of Old Gowrie along with 3 1 oz samples of Gawith and Hogarth tobaccos. This is my first time having G&H other than dark Birds Eye, which I got for blending, and I am VERY impressed. I’ve had a bowl of Kendall Gold Vintage and I’m working on a bowl of Kendall Mixed.

Kendall Mixed is absolutely FANTASIC. My goodness. Perfect shag cut, easy, smooth smoke. Perfect nic hit. No dry time needed. I’ll be getting a whole lot more Kendall Mixed that’s for dang sure.

the avatar hat, maybe i've missed it before. what is it? I recently got a Wilton Country Gentleman which I like a lot. can't really make a brim wider than 2.5" work, I'd be all hat no cattle

Hey@BlueRidge, I own a Country Gentleman, go figure lol… and it’s one of my favorites. I bought the one I’m wearing so I don’t wear out the Country Gentleman.lol. I’m wearing a Cody James, got it cheap from Boot Barn, I think it’s their own brand, big brim is for the rain.

The two preceding smokes were quite short smokes.
I got a hankering for an aromatic after them.
