SWR in a cob with some black coffee to wash it down. It’s a little muggy out but still a nice day.

How available is pipe tobacco in Korea?
My Odds and Ends jar is not a catch-all trash can, it’s usually anything left over in the small tins I carry my workweek blends in, and scraps from processing/slicing/jarring/loading. It gets nothing that’s going to clash with or sublimate good VA/VaPer/DFK blends. It’s been a solid system so far, and a great “go-to” when I’m wavering on what I should smoke, but always a little different.
Already had a dip from it in my blasted Ropp J11P for the first smoke of the day today turning out the horses.
Dunhill Nightcap in a ‘57 (my birth year) Dunhill Sell Briar LB for the first bowl today - ‘cause I’m a good-lookin’ rebel who plays by my own rules.
Good evening. Smoking the first third of Condor, in a MM Diplomat.
Trying out some Newminster 403 Superior Round Slices in my Peterson pre-republic 363. Received and jarred last month, these are pretty darn tasty, a little rough but I can tell they’ll be wonderful in time.
Figuring out the first run of a new-to-me smoker.

From what I've gathered through some research: There are (or were a few years ago, at least) a few stores in Seoul that have (had?) pretty good inventories.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am near the last quarter of this bowl of C&D Eight State Burley (Small Batch 2024) in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Been rewriting and editing my review of this blend, which I'll post later on this forum. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.
Sutliff Crumble Cake Barrel Aged No. 1 in a Savinelli 707
Officer’s Club in a MM hardwood. The tobacco was a gift from Secret Santa. It’s pretty good, thanks!!
Finally trying out the last pure Virginia blend in my cellar that I hadn't smoked yet, Peter Stokkebye PS402 Luxury Twist Flake! I'm giving it a try in a Dr. Grabow Royalton.
I had put off trying this one for a long while since the tin note absolutely reeks of artificial popcorn butter and coconut oil, but much to my surprise it tastes nothing like it smells! It's a really smooth medium bodied pure Virginia blend without much in the way of grassy high notes or earthy low notes, it's just a very middle of the road slightly bready Virginia with a fairly subtle topping that's a little caramely tasting but not particularly sweet.
This really is an excellent Virginia flake that's much less aromatic than the tin note would lead you to believe. The square cut spiral patterned flakes are quite beautiful to look at too!

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
I've always wanted a miele and have been eyeing the smooth offerings, but after seeing your rusticated miele, I've changed my mind.
Poppin’ in while I have some cell coverage… GLPs Laurel Heights on Mount Mitchell, the highest point West of the Mississippi.
