Neerup Structure Sandblasted Bent Pot
Cigar Time: Arturo Fuente Hemingway
Evening bowl with whiskey soda, Rattrays Stirling Flakes rubbed out in a Peterson 15 Irish harp, very nice tobacco indeed, 
HU Director’s Cut in a Dunhill 5117
Enjoyed a big bowl of freshly made chili topped with sharp cheddar cheese, six medium size tacos, and Mexican rice lunch with a bowl of rocky road ice cream for dessert. Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink.
1792 Flake in a cob with water for the afternoon. 
Now smoking year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. The roads are better, but not clean enough to chance walking on ice. Maybe tomorrow.
Got my Suhr lumberman back today from The Danish Pipe shop. My mammoth accent cracked and I got a new stem with horn inlay. Free repair and I even offered to pay, as I don’t think this is makers fault. I like it better than the first version!
I love the crosscut grain. Chenet’s cake, I f you haven’t guessed

C&D Quiet Nights in a J Middleton for Meerschaum Monday.
Back in the smoking lounge after a quick trip to Seattle this morning.
Firing up an afternoon bowl of kentucky in a Brian Doran.

Finishing the day off with a bowl of Revor Plug in a Bekler Meer.
Just finished off Blend 333, next up in my LJP burley run, Blend No 52.
I really like this one the most so far I think, but it's only my third or fourth one I've tried (the others being DD, the aforementioned 333 and I think B-94?). This one reminds me of one of the ones from the aromatic sampler (not DD, but I can't remember what the other one was I tried), only this time cased the same but not topped? Odd mix of floral and a lighter woodier kind of nut taste, but it works.
Actually, there's a tea-esque essence to it that kind of reminds me of the C&D 2024 Eight State Burley.

Taking a walk down the creek trail before night sets in. Setting down the latakia for a moment and taking along some Eight-State Burley 2024 in an Old Dominion Virginia Planter Cob.
Watch City's Deluxe Crumb Cut in a Crown Jewels billiard on a much warmer afternoon.
