Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe in an Orlik Prince. EMP has always been one of my favorite Dunhill mixtures, and this particular tin (which I first opened in November of 2021) has aged beautifully. It smoked down to a fine gray ash, with nary a gurgle.
Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of John Aylesbury London in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Time for a little chocolate ice cream.
You are the first person I’ve seen here smoking a Giugliucci!
Don’t you feel special now! LOL
Enjoy!
Oh it’s Offical folks, the Castello has landed! LOL
Ohh they have a website too!
Fincato La Casa del Habano
Fincato – La Casa del Habano, è un negozio storico di Roma per gli appassionati di fumo lento e di oggettistica legata principalmente ai tabacchi. Pipe delle migliori marche, sigari cubani, sigari toscani, accessoristica, distillati e spiriti, e una proposta di vini di Borgogna, Bordeaux...
Enjoy!
Now smoking Drucquer & Sons Ltd. The Merry Monk in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. This should get me to dinner time. Watching the Dodgers-Yankess game as I work on a review of this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
2021 Dorchester in a Radice Rind Straight.
I was going to smoke this last night, but it ended up sitting out and drying over night.
I personally would of never considered drying Dorchester crispy. I wouldn’t say it was 100% bone dry, but pretty close.
But holy crap, compared to only 15 mins. to an hour, what I’ve dried in the past, this is just amazing. So many nuances/notes I’ve never tasted before.
@Ben.R.C if you haven’t dried it crispy, give it a shot, I’d love to hear what you think.
Be well everyone!
P.S. I know, Crispy & Esoterica sound like two words that should never be mentioned in the same sentence, such blasphemy! LOL
