About to smoke some Ampersand Flake in one of my favorite meers by @Said.ALTINAY. I didn't care for this flake a year ago but after revisiting, it's now in my regular rotation.

I just got some in a Peretti order. Looking forward to trying it.

C&D Pegasus in my MM Country Gentleman, while I smooth out the deep tire grooves in our dirt driveway. Might as well do it while it's still soft and moist (that's what she said)...

Bird report: California scrub-jay, California towhee, Steller's jay, Dark-eyed junco, White-crowned sparrow, Oak titmouse, American robin (spring is near!), Northern flicker, Common raven, and Chipping sparrow.

Definitely going to have to get a replacement stem on my next SP order. The bit is so pinched tight, I can barely get a pipecleaner through it anymore. Two dollars (soon to) be well-spent, I say.

Have a good week, people! Beware the Ides of March...

GH Broken Scotch Cake in a Pete

Cobblestone Kentuck Plug in a Stanwell Bulldog, shape 32. I bought a couple of tins to try and I'm quite liking it. Not really a plug, more of a crumble cake, that needed just a bit of drying, others may find it fine right out of the tin. This will go on the repurchase list.

Got this book written by a Brit I watch on YouTube, lol. Good book! So a little Kramer’s Blend for Cary Grant in a ‘76 Dunhill 31CY - Winston approves!

Now smoking Sutliff Anomalous (Signature Series) in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. It goes on sale on the 15th. I'm working on a review. No walking reps today since it's still raining. The ice has melted, though.

Try softening it with some hot water and using a small flat-blade screwdriver to work the plastic back out again.

Capstan Gold flake in a Castello great line fiammata.

Been enjoying this book for quite awhile this morning (see above with bowl that was about done when I posted) and came upon this great pic and got inspired! So …. Peterson St. Patrick’s Day 68 No. 122 (haha, like someone said the other day, 221 backwards!) with some 2023 St. Patrick’s Day Reserve. @cosmicfolklore this is hazelnut!!!

I thought about that. Problem is, I'm clumsier than Kramer, and knowing me, I'd probably snap the stem in two, with the top half spinning upward and lodging right in my eye, and so on. Like this:

All slapstick aside, I appreciate the suggestion!
