Been a minute since I posted in this thread. Mac Baren 7 Seas Gold in a Brebbia 1001 this evening. Laphroaig 10 year on the side. Hope everyone is well.
First go with C&D Super Balken in a bent cob.
Sutliff Field and Stream match in a Falcon.
This afternoon, MB Virginia Flake in an Altinay.
When I was around 8 years old, I was playing with a little Milk snake. My dad strolls by and slaps it out of my hands. Apparently it was a small (14 inch) Copperhead.You wouldn't do that in Australia
He was very friendly and calm.
Over the years I learned they generally are NOT friendly, and NOT calm. A few years ago one chased me down and bit my ankle!!
We also have Timber Rattlesnakes around here. I pounded one to death for coming at my dog.
Possibly the dog came at the snake....either way I pounded it.
By the way, those snakes I'm holding are VENOMOUS!!
My life was in grave danger.
I'm actually the size of a small frog.
We tend not to phaff about with danger noodles here as even a baby brown/tiger/adder/taipan/copper head will kill you inside the hour if they get you right and baby ones very rarely give you a dry bite. Also ours don't come with a warning rattle either.When I was around 8 years old, I was playing with a little Milk snake. My dad strolls by and slaps it out of my hands.

Sipping on some C&D Mature Virginia in a Golden Square Meerschaum line billiard while enjoying a camp fire and some Simple Truth Bourbon. 
Sutliff Vanilla Royale in my Nording 506. Sprout is babysitting me again. I have a big glass of water and listening to it rain outside.

If I didn't share so many of those traits you display, I'd say you had a death wish, eh? But I get it - completely. I have a track record of observably stupid behaviour with bears, rattlesnakes near Cache Creek, berries and fungi of questionable origin, and various human critters of erratic behaviour. They're the worst of all, methinks. One day it may catch up with me, but not today.
3P’s in a turn of the century meer Cutty with an amber stem.
Sutliffe 507-C in the Vauen Olaf 4873 bent egg ... I can't compete with killer snakes but I did just find a 3" brown recluse in the hallway that I had to catch with my trustee apricot preserve jar and relocate outside to the woods.
My gut says brown recluse but it could have been a hobo spider. It had thin legs though, so I'm pretty sure it was brown recluse. Its easier to catch them than to kill them as they are tough and get hyper aggressive if you miss.
P.S. It probably came inside on someone ... guess who ???

Just hitting the halfway mark of 2021 Super Balkan from C&D in my Paykoç meerschaum. Absolutely delightful smoke for this late spring weather in the garage while roasting Panama coffee.
Hmmmmm . . . . . maybe it's time for a monthly Darwin Award in this thread? What do you think, Jimi?
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Been a busy day. Smoked a few bowls of tobacco, snoozed a little, managed the continual ins-and-outs of feral feeding, and did other stuff. Abner the Eager is on top of my chair. Still raining.
2018 Viprati in my Yeti panel shanked billiard.
