The Kildare 53’s homecoming continues with Kendal Plug/Black Cherry Twist.
I’m pretty sure if it weren’t for the one big and one tiny pit this guy would’ve made a better grade.

Part way through this bowl of Watch City Jim’s Golden Ticket in a straight smooth brown mid-late 60s Corporate Era Barling 5579 London England (made by Charatan) lumberman with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Its a bit (@#$%^&) hot today with real feel about 102. But I had one of my last bowls of 507-c in the Vauen Olaf bent egg while awaiting a small tobacco delivery.

Hats off to Sp.com.

I ordered Sat morning, they shipped Saturday afternoon from South Carolina; it went to Bayonne NJ Monday and sat all day. At 6:19 a.m. today it went to Secaucus NJ then to Connecticut and out for delivery at 9:37 am and delivered at 4:37ish. The famous catalog company, that shall remain nameless, said 8-14 days and $12.99 shipping and they are two states closer !

Can't wait to try Windsail Silver which bagnote smells like 507-C and PS L Twist Flake which has a plum smell like Newminster 400. The PS LTF came in two rows of small flakes. Two together would be about the size of a Ghirardelli chocolate square for comparison (not that I would know anything about that as a diabetic ).

Gorgeous afternoon. Heading outside with some iced tea and a bowl of Sansun & Delilah in a Pierluigi.

Passing the first third of this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth brown medium bend briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave is back in, andl aying by my feet. Harry the Hairy is on m'lady's lap getting attention.

Just absolutely awful outdoors and just finished mowing but atleast its accomplished.

Boy, I take my hat off to you, Paul for getting the mowing done in this type of heat. So hot here that the dogs have been trying to get in the house most of the day. We actually let them into the mud room midday for a while.
I went out very early this morning and trimmed the shrubs and tended to the horses. I still soaked my shirt in the process.

Oh and I love the Eltang. Much more avant garde than the more traditional styles you usually smoke.

The last of a tin of Wessex Gold Slice in a Pete PSB X105

I turned on every fan I could find to try to stir a breeze on the deck and managed to have a bowl of C & D Billy Budd, burley in my Ranz Morta poker.
The dogs are drinking water. It looked inviting but I decided to drink ice water instead.

 

[The Benedictine]

Peter Stokkebye No6 Vanilla out of a Unique Meerschaum Bacchus pipe. Too hot to smoke outside

It was either do it now while it sucks or do it tomorrow when believe it or not it’s supposed to suck more
Those Eltang Basics work well on the Zero Turn, Tractor in the Shop as they weigh practically nothing.
