Good name! I looked it up and found out that Halfdan (who flourished in the 9th century) was the founder of the Danish kingdom of York (875/876), supposedly the son of Ragnar Lothbrok, the most famous Viking of the 9th century. heill ok sæll
Got a few Falcon Bowls of Bob’s Chocolate smoked and stopped
Off to send a watch out for scheduled service. Too hot out so back home having some Eight State Burley in a Cavicchi.

'17 Ashton Artisan's Blend in a nice old 'Dublin' Dunhill Shell briar 42 F/T from '67.
evening smoke of ODF in a Savinelli Punto Oro 623
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 1982 black sandblasted medium bend W.O. Larsen dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. It's been a long time since I smoked this very excellent pipe. It was the only Larsen pipe that I ever saw at the Tinderbox. Well worth the forty bucks I paid for it back then. Lavazza Classico, neat and strong, is my drink.
Sixpence in a RAD Rhodesian. My fifth bowl of this blend. Still get to know her/she. Having trouble getting past the topping. Reminiscent of the topping on Eso. Penrose which I abhor.
Mix of Lancer’s slices and Saint James Park in the Pete short army pot, with some fancy canned water while listening in on a quarterly market report
I was enjoying some John Cotton's Double Pressed Kentucky in a Stanwell until the sweat bees attacked. Anyone have a good way to ward those buggers off? I've tried mint but that hasn't helped at all.
I've passed the half way mark of this bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Emptied the dishwasher, took out the recycle, fed Harry the Hairy, and did some cleaning on two estate pipes. Now, it's time to clean a few pipes. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Westminster in a meer
Now 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.
Doing something to put a fun twist on getting to know a new tobacco, being that different pipes can bring out different aspects of a blend. Decided to run 2024 Eight State Burley through 8 pipes of different countries of origin. Cuz...why not? However, i won't be smoking them all at the same time, all things in moderation of course.
