Spent the morning at the climbing gym. Managed to get up a 5.9 climb and took my first whipper off a 5.10.

Had an indulgent cheeseburger experience at Gott's Roadside in Napa.

Now, I'm having another one of these delicious Napa Cigar Club box pressed perfectos made in collaboration with Aganorsa leaf. Reality Czech Pils from Moonlight in back.

Found a year and a half old tin of Spark Plug amongst the ten pipe tobaccos they carry here, so that's next.
Generally digging the vibe here at Napa Cigar.

@weezell Is that the Irish or Polish production?
I've smoked a few packets of Condor Ready Rubbed in my clay pipes but I've only had them since production moved to Poland.
The old Gallaher tobacco factory in Ballymena was bought by Wrightbus to expand their production as it is next door to their own site.
Don't know a lot about Wrightbus but I've seen a number of their buses on the road and have travelled on them a few times.

Old Dark Flake in a Savory's. A bigger bowl than I'm used to, courtesy of @Birddog66 who very kindly gifted me the pipe!
This should see me through both halves of tonight's game & even extra time & penalties, if it comes to that. Lol
'Having it Large' as we say. Cheers Birddog! ?

Early 1930s CLIFTON DE LUXE 'Prince'
+ Radfords RUM ROYAL:-

1625700615399.png
20210707_175713.jpg

A pipe made by Hall & Fitzgerald (1899 - the 1980s)
The company first registered the H&F mark in 1899 and traded as "fancy goods merchants", as "pipe manufacturers", as "briar pipe manufacturers" and as "gift & smokers' wholesalers"
The Clifton range was named after the company's factory - located at Clifton Works in Bristol - and this particular pipe originally retailed for 3/6 (three shillings and six pence or three and six) back in the day.

Ok let me put this into a little perspective. The last time England won a major international tournament I was in my second trimester in my mother’s womb. Now a bunch of young lads have played without the weight of the last 55 years hanging over their heads, (not quite as bad as a Red Sox or Cubs dry spell but for the creators of the game it’s too bloody long), and now we have every chance of winning the Euros. Once we’ve done that we’ll be unstoppable and the World Cup is ours too. Not to take anything away from Denmark who have proved their courage and tenacity after the collapse of Ericsson and were a worthy adversary.

I put down several pipes during the game and I can’t even tell you what they were. All that matters is FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME! ???????
Well done boys, you’ve made a whole nation proud.

Seeing the night out with some of @simong’s incredible stoved 2013 Capstan Flake and another Old Peculiar. Thanks mate. ?

congratulations to England for reaching their first European Championship final, after 55 years of winning the World Cup it was their turn, good luck against Italy, although they are very hard to "gnaw" and it will not be easy.

It has been a very exciting match, like yesterday's Italy vs Spain, well, I think that in general the whole Eurocup has been very good.

Let's hope that the "spell" of Wembley works and they keep on being victorious.
