The second Dunhill well worn small billiard found in a flea market lot. This one is a 250 shape, out of round chamber, after market silver band covering the size and date markings, crappy replacement stem. My first smoke in it, on a hot and humid day. Royal Yacht is a go-to blend because it is stable and very forgiving. Unlike yesterday’s Dunhill, this one has developed a gurgle in the first quarter of the bowl but otherwise smoking well, if a bit warm.

Quenching with a lovely martini with Roku, a gin that uses Japanese botanicals. Delicious.4A88A94F-717E-4C15-961D-25763E9D6C0D.jpeg

How do you get the tin labels off fully intact? I usually don’t have a problem on cylindrical tins like C&D and GLP but have little success on flat tins.
