This is in homage to our members across the pond. Two bulldogs and some Fox Bankers.

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple and unsalted peanuts on the side.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.


Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.


Followed that up by smoking a bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a silver band and a black acrylic stem.


Currently, I have passed the half way mark on this bowl of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Gold Star mmmMidnight, neat, is my drink.

Boswell's Northwoods in the Peterson Arklow bulldog, drinking beer and drinking beer. Also burning steaks on the grill. Horseshoes have been canceled for the evening due to the rain showers.
Enjoy the evening everyone!

Enjoyed a double meat twelve inch Italian Stallion sub, and am nearing the last third of this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. The release date for this stoved straight Brazilian Va. crumble cake blend is August 22. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Hi Jim,

What’s the basic flavor profile of No. 6?

Matured red Va.s, stoved burley and St. James perique barrel aged in rum for thirty days. The rum does not bury the tobaccos. I'm still working on a complete review.

Simply Red in a Radice Silk Cut 55

Deception Pass Plug? I was unaware of this product’s existence until just now. Did you press the plug yourself or did Sutliff make a plugged version? I love Deception Pass and would jump at the opportunity to try the plug version.

When I was at the Sutliff plant a couple of years ago, they had bags of DP plugs, Match Victorian plugs, and a couple of straight Va. plugs in a dump carrier. Rather than throw them away (I have absolutely no idea why they rejected most of them), they gave them to me. I was very lucky. Right place at the right time.

I came to realize that one of them was a rejected Hogshead prototype when I got a tin of Hogshead to review. The differences were not that great, but just enough that I noticed.

The plugs are old style English dense, and wonderful. I can understand rejecting the Hogshead prototype because, as good as it is, it's not quite as good as what they are selling. But, I enjoy smoking it and the others.

Beautiful pipe.

Ending this rainy evening with some Virginia Gold Vanilla in my orange Molina Billiard. Both Molina pipes and Virginia Gold blends are underappreciated. I think both are very good, especially when price is considered.

Amazing. Thanks for clueing me in. Right place, right time for sure. You’re a lucky dog…that loves feral cats! Thanks again, Jim.
