Evening all. Just about to go out to the coal shed with a little HU Nyala in a custom made Altinay meer. The maker matched the size and shape of my favourite 105 Savinelli, cracking pipe. Happy smokes folks.

Torben Dansk Virginia Mysore in a Regina Scarlatta “billiard”
Embarcadero in a Punto Oro 122 on this pleasant Monday.
Haha no offence taken. I’ve been called much worse than dick van dyke.
Interesting point about wearing the cap centrally. I purchased this newsboy a fortnight ago as I finally put a hole in my grandad’s cheese cutter which I’ve worn on and off for the last 20 years, but pretty much daily for the last year. (Don’t worry it’s still in use, just around the home)
I always wore his cap off to the side as maybe my head was a bit too big for the size. I guess it’s just how I became use to it. I’ll heed your advice and try it straight today. And don’t worry guvna, I ain’t never wearing it backwards like a 90s white boy playing basketball, not even for a minute.
What is that finish called?
Five brothers all this morning in the old Weber and GLP Windjammer this afternoon in this Kaywoodie. I'm really liking this blend a lot. Hope everyone enjoyed the day, it was another beauty here. Penn State prevailed at the BIG10 wrestling tournament. That conference is just loaded with talent. Looking forward to watching the NCAA's in two weeks.
Do you have a humidor built into your golf cart?
Not a golfer here, but gotta love a sport in which you can smoke three cigars in a day!
Now Smoking: I can't actually tell you what I am currently smoking.
just finished breaking down five 1 pounders of different bulk tabks into smaller Mason jars. I clean-up in between each different tabak by simply hand-sweeping any the little remnants, tiny-bits, and dust which are too small to deal with into a small 'sweepings' collection bowl.
I ended-up with about 1/2 bowl of Mystery Ratio Remnant Mixture in one of the little 4" Old German Clay Cutty taster pipes which I am now smoking.
The Bright Virginia - which needs to seriously age - is very acidic as delivered and is biting aggressively; but, then, suddenly these soft herbal floral notes pop through due to whatever Turkish leavings which are in there as well.
Makes me think of smelling flowers in a wide-open bucolic meadow... only to end up getting stung by a bee.
Oh well, "Waste not, want not"; I always say. - Sherm Natman

I liked the Mysore a lot. Torben Dansk sell it as basis tobacco for further blending. But it’s good on its own.
Good Show!
A bit of a tilt, is of course, perfectly acceptable on a young man like your good self. Set halfway back on your head however, is not advisable. 2 reasons for this, it'll blow off too easily in the slightest of breezes & secondly (more importantly) you'll look a total prat when you doff your cap to a lady. There's also a third reason, if you're partial to hiding a razor in the Peak, less likely to cut yourself if the cap is properly ensconced on one's bonce!
Here's the proper way to wear a cap, demonstrated by a London geezer.
New arrival! Fischer Imperial, my usual blend. Flat cap in honor of another current thread, hopefully aligned per regulations.
I
I have one of those travel humidors. Holds 4 cigars.Do you have a humidor built into your golf cart?
Save some ladies for the rest of us bro.
So you’re telling me if I change how I wear my cap I’ll look like handsome rob? Mrs Ahi is gonna be ecstatic to know that.Good Show!

Your logic is sound bro. To be fair, the hat doesn’t sit as far back as it looks in the selfie, I think that’s just a trick of the angle…and that I don’t have a receding hairline yet
Did a second set of walking on this warm, sunny day, and smoked a 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.

I wouldn't tell you no lies, stand on me. Lol
Wear a 'Topper' & she'll be all over you like a cheap suit.
