Good morning everyone, I’m starting the day with some of @Simong’s stoved Escudo that just arrived in the mail this morning. As you may know I attempted to stove my own last week but I think I went a bit easy on it and could have given it a couple more hours in the oven. From the left, un-stoved Escudo, my attempt in the middle and Simon’s on the right. I haven’t tried mine yet, it’s got another week in the jar, it’s not much darker than the original but the fruit is much more pronounced. Using the Kiko meer poker for this delicious smoke. ??thank you @Simong.
preparing for after eating the "Paella" my wife is making, this L'Anatra Petinata with some Gerd Jansen V-Cubes
I will try again to find an aromatic that I like from time to time, I will accompany it, as usual in summer, with a very cold Gunpowder green tea with ice.
Eight State Burley in a MM Legend with coffee. Sitting on the porch and watching a small herd of deer travel through my yard. 70 degrees with 91% humidity. Gonna be steamy today.
Now smoking Crooner in a MM Country Gentlemen with a cup or black coffee and my dog at my side. It’s still cool out so I’m enjoying the morning in my back yard.
LLRR in a Grand Duke with French roast coffee. I'm sitting on the tailgate of my truck watching the tobacco getting topped for the second time this week. The leaves are showing signs of yellowing, so I figure priming is right around the corner.
Good weekend and pipes to all! Starting with C&D Bayou Morning in a Tilshead smooth Semibent. However, just the sudden thought of St. Bruno is starting to tingle the tastebuds.
We continue enjoy with. HH Pure Virginia, in MM Charles Cobbler. And a mug black coffee with Brandy....................31º temperature in the city..............
