Just took my latest gift, a Stefano Santambrogio bent rhodesian, out for the maiden smoke (you can read the backstory
here if you'd like). This is my new non-aromatic, non-latakia pipe, which I filled with one of my favorite blends these days, Sutliff 507-C VA Slices. Paired nicely with a cup of earl grey tea.
Bird report: Common raven, White-breasted nuthatch, California quail, and Hairy woodpecker. Looking forward to the big cool-down that's coming...my developing tomato plants not so much.
A big thank you to my friend in Orange County for the beautiful gift! ?
...now quit stallin' and join the forum, dammit!
