nice and quite powerful rustic ''tobacco at affordable price
(Stock picture of) PS Cube Cut in my burley cob.
Another really nice smoke of it this morning. "Managing expectations" has become a cliche for so many things, but because it is so relevant. When I'm smoking in the wind, no matter how careful I am, it feels like many blends become burley-ish: less sweet and flavorful, more earthy. So I end up at least mildly frustrated and disappointed. But if I start with a burley blend, it doesn't really change much, and I can just take it how it is. And the wind sometimes helps this to stay lit without overheating it. So yeah, I guess I'll be buying more when I run out.

Haunted Bookshop in a Dominik Kobryń ring grain poker with plateau, black finish, plateau top and ebonite fishtail stem.
Enjoyed three ham, cheese and two eggs open faced sandwiches, Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins thrown in, and a golden delicious apple for lunch. I'm half way through this 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. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink. Watching the Cubs-Mets game.
Good evening. Smoking the first third of C&D Byzantium, in a MM General bent. Stored in this marble jar, for daily rotation.![IMG_3709[13074].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/318/318892-d174af93ce53e9b47b5c6e47b795db15.jpg "IMG_3709[13074].jpg")
Just had a wonderful lunch of turkey sandwich and potato salad. I am now about to light my Peterson System Spigot Smooth B42 P-Lip with a full bowl of Peterson Nightcap. Happy Friday everyone!
Resting the tekin for some Pegasus in my Altinay.
A third of a bowl left of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem.
‘23 Steamworks in my Peterson’s 313. Waiting to start the weekend in about half an hour.
That was a wonderful hour and fifteen! And my wife even brought me a Guinness mid-way through!
Now back to work...
Kicking off the weekend with Five O' Clock Shadow in a no name meer and Guinness.
Earlier Solani 656: Aged Burley Flake and now finishing the day off with Samuel Gawith Grousemoor. Both in the Altinay.
Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Plenty of it, too.
Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.
