I’m sitting here watching a fantastic interview, drinking a Mega Pint Batch of Old Fashioned and enjoying some Klondike Gold in a Footed Meer, a GBD Meer and an 1897 BBB w/ Silver Cap
Bracing for work impact that happens every July 5. Good luck, stay safe. Establish Fire Watch.

Plum Pudding in a Pre1967 bulldog with a saddle stem. Old school.
Now that dinner is finished, breaking out the cheap corncob to experiment with mixing, trying to cut down and tame the Lane Very Cherry by mixing it with my PS Danish Export. I went heavier on the Danish, makes the Cherry much more manageable but in these proportions, almost obliterates the Cherry.
Again with the PS Luxury Navey Flake, only this time in my Eltang Rusticated poker. Happy 4th of July everyone.

I went to a picnic today and no men were smoking but a couple of the women were vaping and at the back several women broke out a hookah and were smoking "some arabic %$^&" I was told. It was red and looked like candy and smelled very sweet like a fruit dessert ... probably red gummi bear or berry punch tobacco. I learned all about loading and smoking a Hookah although I didn't try it ... I like aromatics but they all had their own stems for the hookah and I didn't have one and wasn't going to share with strangers.
I'll stick to Country Squire Old Tobey and Second Breakfast in my own pipe for now. Nice learning experience though. P.S. I also got the recipe for Chimmi Churi sauce which was delicious !?

Good rainy day smoking. Scraps jar in a 1911 Brumfit (A.B mounter marks)
Chimichurri sauce was a game changer for me. Blew my mind I hadn't tried anything similar (closest was pesto and they are worlds apart)
Fresh, herbal, spicy, salty, and sweet. Delicious on steak and chicken. My mind was blown and I went through quite a bit after the first experience.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Cards game.
Yeah I agree it was homemade with fresh garden ingredients ! I don't know which was better that or the Mojito with fresh mint or the combo together. The sauce was on chicken, ribs and steak ! Its like trying a new tobacco and thinking where has this been all my life ???!!!
Well, with that bowl finished, I'm going to have to figure out something else for that cherry. If I can't find something to mix it with where I can like it, I suppose I could compress it into incense cones? Because the stuff does smell good, and with the cherry flavor subdued a little it's better, but still just too... bright I suppose? It's a pungency to it that kind of ruins the brief touches of sweetness. Which, now that I think about it, Danish Expo might not have been the best choice to mix it with in that regard.
Rouxgaroux in a no name French billiard. Lotta fireworks in my general vicinity.
C&D Sunday Picnic (yes, on a Monday) in a Richard Mason thick apple.
Capstan Gold in a Stanwell Rondo billiard. This is my 1st try of the blend. It’s ok, but is right out of a freshly opened tin.
Felt the same way about Capstan Blue. But was told to jar it and open it daily for a month. That made a world of difference. So, I will treat the Gold the same way.

Very relaxing evening on the porch waiting for the peace I’m enjoying to erupt into night sky explosions. Loaded a MM cob with Dunbar and poured a wee bit of Oban 18
