Edward G. Robinson’s Pipe Blend in a Savinelli.
Trying some Lane 1-Q in an Ahmet Gövem meer
Missed a couple of my pipe bowls but I won't be tiresome and recap. Tonight it is Esoterica Tilbury (Virginia with burley condiment, thanks to SBC) in one of my Christmas pipes from my wife, a Savinelli Hercules Oom-Paul/Hungarian. What a lovely blend ... and pipe.
Got my approx. two-year-old safety recall on my Mazda 3 handbrake serviced today, with oil change and tire rotation. It took a few hours, but I'm glad I finally did the deed.
Trying to do some scholarly reading in one of my late wife's literary anthologies while I waited, I became the involuntary audience to a man with an apparent personality disorder sorting out his life problems apparently with his father over his cell phone.
I first took him for a schizophrenic talking to himself but eventually realized he was on the phone. He told his dad off several times, and apparently his father told him off repeatedly ... for two hours! At first I thought the conversation was so personal and vitriolic they would hang up on each other, but they went from one crescendo to the next, going to more quite talk and back. Religious tirades, marital crises, sexual orientation problems (never mind his ex-wife and four children) and so forth. I was glad to hear he was on the road and wasn't from here, and I hope I don't have to be his audience again. It was like a bad off-Broadway play, sordid and unending.

Out and about shifting cattle this morning after what was a terrible weather day yesterday with sleet, hail and 60 mph winds for most of the day. Today it was a simple smoke of Stokkeby's luxury English in a little Briar Works Cutty. The dogs really like the smell of this one too, I see them sniffing the air as the smoke goes by them.
Deepest sympathies to Doctor Chopper as well on the passing of your Mother

I can’t deny such a reasonable request!
Smoking this morning Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake. In a thin, elegant, briar & bamboo creation by George Leousis - GL pipes. The tin had some (enough) years on it. I hope the white thing on the flakes is sugar and not...
I will smoke it anyway: "Ave Samuel, morituri te salutant".
Have a nice day good people!
