Balkan Supreme in a Karl Erik Ekstravagent horn
Got the charcoal lit for some T-Bones as I’m smoking some Dunbar. Later on we’re going to my youngest daughter’s high school graduation ceremony. She’s also going to be graduating with an associates degree. I’m a proud dad.
@timt Congratulations! Sounds like a fun day
A welcomed rainy day; we need the moisture. Decided to pop this tin of MB London Blend I picked up a month or so ago from @Simmerdown☕️ . Grabbed the Altinay Rusticated Dublin Meer and brewed up a strong cup of black coffee.
The tin note right after opening is dominated by subtle, sweet coco. First mental image was of a chocolate chip cookie.
Although really inviting, I was hoping the topping wasn’t overdone.
While I sit here and smoke this, I am very pleased. On first lighting up, the sweet cocoa seems upfront, but fades quickly and complements the Burley quite well.
Paired with a cup of coffee it’s absolute smoking bliss. A perfect choice for a rainy afternoon.

Enjoying some Triple Play while re-reading some passages from Rick Necombes books. This pipe, and my other Jason Patricks, have broken in so incredibly nice. Perfect draw, light in weight, fantastic grain.
Rightly so ! Congratulations ! ???
Every time I see you post about smoking hogshead, I go online and see if I can find some for sale. I seem to keep missing the bull’s-eye. Waiting to see if they’ll be another drop at any of the online retailers?
I always enjoy seeing your amazing, antique Meerschaum pipes!
Capstan blue in a cob, iced tea for sipping
Enjoyed a tasty cinnamon raisin French toast lunch, and have about a quarter of a bowl left from this freshly opened tin of year 2022 Astley’s No. 44 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. It tastes a little different than the earlier productions I have smoked. Going to try it again in a meer to make certain of that. Lavazza Perfecto, neat, is my drink.
Sweet sunny Saturday afternoon in the sun: Smokers Pride Cherry Cavendish in a Savinelli Erica Fiamma 128 straight billiard with vulcanite stem (6mm balsa filter) followed by peach ice tea.
Congratulations!
Gorgeous to be a proud dad, have a happy family day!

Captain Black Royal in MM Diplomat Apple 
Today walking around Milan with Pegasus and a Parker billiard, then Edisto flakes in a F. Natalizia, now Condor in a MM Country Gentleman.
Spent the morning fishing on the lake. Didn't catch anything but had a few bowls of Crooner and Pegasus in a MM Pride and MM Hardwood with some beers.
