A third of the way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed everybody except for Daisy the Feral Princess and Abner the Eager. I'll see them soon. Skies are dark and more rain is expected, so I dunno if I'll get to do walking reps. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Did a set of walking reps, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. It was so humid that I felt as though I was breathing in moisture.

About two minutes after my last post, I heard some door banging in the hallway. When I opened the close door, out came Abner the Eager. He must have snuck in there earlier when m'lady was doing things. He was happy to get out. He ate, and then wanted out. When I did my last lap, I saw him under my car.

I've designated my jar of Half and Half (given a few coffee beans months ago for flavoring, I hope) and my tin of Sillem's Green as my current "Get those containers empty dammit!" projects.

So: Sillem's in the meer, H&H in the Merchant Service, alternating until I leave the cigar lounge in another several hours. Hurrah for chain-smoking!

Decades old Old Gowrie in Scottie. Was expecting more from this 2005 100g tin. Still an enjoyable smoke.
I’m my opinion that blend peaks at 10 years. Almost every old baccy I’ve sampled ages out after that. Still good, just not exceptional

I’m currently smoking some 6 year old and it’s just fantastic.

A quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 pre-release WarHorse Ready Cut in an undated straight sandblasted black Ropp Crystal billiard with a clear acrylic perspex saddle stem. Had a great chat with a great friend. The rain came down hard, and I got Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave in. Harry the Hairy was under my car, and when I called him, he came running to me, but ran under the deck instead of coming inside with me. I called for Abner the Eager, but he didn't show up, so I assume that he is elsewhere.
