Got up early enough to have a smoke before work. Smoking some roughly 10 year old Dunhill Nightcap in an Ardor Old Briar (Dorelio) with a (don’t judge me….) Shiner Beer on the side
It’s a hot day in my neck of the woods. I’ve packed a bowl of Dunbar and poured a dram of Larceny BP bourbon, and going to sit in the shade for as long as I can tolerate it. Cheers!
My own vanilla aromatic Virginia, fresh from the noodle press, in a Stanwell Authentic 63 (natural).
Reading Raymond Chandler's, 'Farewell My Lovely':
"I filled a pipe and reached for the packet of paper matches. I lit the pipe carefully. She watched that with approval. Pipe smokers were solid men. She was going to be disappointed."
Just finished smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Reds game.
Straight Falcon with a squashed tomato block Meerschaum bowl filled with C&D Three Friars. I notice a slight ghost of Ennerdale that is quite pleasant. Black Box cabernet to drink.
BTW, today is the anniversary of theBattle of the Somme. God Bless the fallen!
Now smoking Wilke Edwin on the Hudson #2 beta in a 1987 smooth medium brown Peterson first series Sherlock Holmes full bend with a silver band and a black vulcanite tapered p-lip stem. Making beta notes on this blend, which is gold Va. and 45% perique.
