SWR in MM Carolina Gentlemen. Was going for CH, but last pouch is done. I haven't opened my last US made CH yet. So, SWR it is. With Skynyrd playing in my MP3 player, it was very pleasant early afternoon.

Thanks, mav! We love Chicago. As lifelong Cubs fans, we try to visit once a year and take in a series. The pandemic ruined our planned trip in 2020, but I still have airline vouchers that have to be used by next December, so we’ll probably be back next summer. Awesome city!

You’re right about BMP. It’s the perfect pairing with a cup of coffee. I’m having a bowl as I type. It’s Nirvana!

Have a great day. Cheers!

Earlier today: some "Karelia - Virginia Plain Ovals", Greek non filter cigarettes, after swimming at a rocky place not far from Athens. Actually, you can't call it a beach. You have to jump into the sea and then climb up the rocks to get out. But the waters are deep, clean and refreshing. You can do snorkeling if you like. It's not crowded and many swimmers are nudists. You get the feeling that you are somewhere far from the city. Nice!

I wish you all a good coming week good people.

Smoking Amphora Burley in a Kaywoodie Natural Burl, watching Pirates-Rays, has been a great series. And for tonight Go Bolts!

MacBaren Navy Flake in a Mauro Armellini bent billiard. Just a really perfect afternoon.

Beautiful pipe! I've had my eyes on the Irish Army for awhile now. How do you find it smokes? Any issues?

I have three and they all smoke beautifully. A 999, a 86, and a 406. They appeal to me as traditional British/Irish codger pipes like my grandfather and his cronies smoked in Ulster. Very inexpensive and I get them all with acrylic stems as I can’t stand oxidized vulcanite.

Smoking some Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Gepetto (Ser Jacopo) Paneled Billiard with a sweet tea on the side. This is one of the sample blends I bought. I really like it. Just ordered a pound of it….and….. possibly a new pipe as well…..

Stanwell Kir & Apple in the Savinelli Tortuga 614 Bent Billiard (SPC incorrectly classifies this as an Oom Paul, however). A nice mild aro as a break from my usual VAs and VaPers these days. Bird report: Common raven, California towhee, Hairy woodpecker, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Northern flicker, California scrub-jay, California towhee, and California quail. Clouds are helping to diffuse the summer sun a bit, as depicted below.
