Deception Pass in the 6 panel bent bulldog lattice meer, and a dark winter ale. Touch warmer today, but breeze is up a bit.

Good day all! Started with GLP Telegraph Hill in a Tilshead smooth Semibent. Lovely Eltang back there, samuelgawith01.

Thankyou for the kind comment, Jim.

Lots of writing to do tonight, so I went back to back with glorious Ennerdale Flake in my 1976 Dunhill pot.

Now Smoking: Well, I said I was going to do it last week after I gorged myself on Hearth & Home Signature-series Louisiana Red - which I amped-up with an equal portion of Perique - and was transported to Pipe Smoker's Nirvana for a full evening of relaxation and pleasure. Just a few minutes ago the Postman delivered me a one pound bag of this delicious Russ Ouellette blend.

I also ordered a small bunch of those little inexpensive Old German antique clay pipes for use in my other Home Blending experiments and have decided to dedicate one of these - for a time anyway - to experience Russ' creation the way he intended it... and before I start using it as a vehicle to add more and more Perique to - I can't help myself.

So, I after I get the bag opened, I WILL BE SMOKING: Hearth & Home's Signature-series Louisiana Red, in a little 4.5" Old German Clay straight, smooth, Cutty, '11', with Ships and Anchors.

Having been in the Corps, I figured the Anchor bowl imprint was a good choice; but also, I might have wanted the Eagle too; but, since they don't offer a Globe to make up an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor set of 3... "Anchors", it was. - Sherm Natman

Sounds like you have progressed from VaPers to PerVas. Nirvana is close?

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've just over a quarter of a bowl left of year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam billiard 27 Canadian patent 341422 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.
