Because I dried out too much tobacco on Monday, now having a late afternoon second bowl of KBV Mr. Christian's Spacial Cuts #2. Been letting the KBV blends I've received dry out at least twelve hours and that seems to work for keeping the sacred fires going. Very nice.
Had another extremely bad night at work last night. Second night in a row of troubleshooting hundreds of components because one of my coworkers decided to wire 120 VAC directly into the main 24 VDC terminal block in a panel…… Pretty much FRIED EVERYTHING!
I did get a 6% raise this morning, so that helped….
The Wife and I just got home from a great early dinner at The Stack, a local gourmet burger and bistro/bar in the historic district. Had an excellent burger and fries, and a couple of excellent local Copperhill Brewery “Ocoee #1” IPA’s.
Came home to a package waiting for me…. A pound of tobacco and a new pipe!
This day just keeps getting better! That’s rare for me….
So….. First smoke in a new Moonshine Cannonball Sandblast will be some GH Broken Scotch Cake with a rum and coke on the side. Hope y’all are having a good day as well!

Rattray's - OG in a Altinay and some Iced Water on the side.
Smoking some of my first home pressed cake. Nothing fancy for the test run just MB Virginia No1 and a bit of Sutliff 597S. The result is a sweeter Virginia that produces a lot of smoke, very enjoyable.
Scraps jar in a Larsen. Spending the morning at my parents. 
Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Moonshine Dublin.
Did a second set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just got this set today.
Next up is another bowl of GH Broken Scotch Cake in an Ardor Marte Fantasy (Damiano) with sweet tea on the side. 
Royal Coachman (Comoy) straight pot with PS LTF and a glass of ice water.
Is your system to press the baccy a DIY invention? Is the result a cake or more like a plug? How long...?
Might be a good day to buy a lottery ticket...
We've got a thread going, great fun!

We're using a noodle press you can get on Amazon or Ebay. I think they're all the same, so just find a good price and vendor.
Flake Medallions in a Castello great line.
Now smoking year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown “rocky” smooth medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
