In between Scrabble matches w/wifey, we went out to the workspace for a match of gin rummy. Cigarillo for her, Mac Baren Plumcake in a Barling sandblasted egg for me. Very glad to have gone extra deep on this blend. 9/10
Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, House finch, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Northern flicker, Mountain chickadee, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, and Golden-crowned sparrow.
Chicken and potatoes for dinner, as I continue my protracted celebration of gold's $3,000/oz. milestone yesterday. I said on a long since locked Bitcoin thread that I would crack a tin of Ashton Gold Rush when gold hit 3k. For anyone who remembers this promise, please give me a bit more time, as I need to free up a jar! But I fully intend to do it.

University Flake in this Mastro de Paja panel billiard. Green tea.
2018 Viprati in my MarTelo bent billiard.
I had to miss out on dinner plans tonight so I can catch up on logging my hours towards licensure. Keeping me company in the garage is my 
falcon loaded with Pegasus. Also, my new zippo came in so I was excited to filler her up and use it.
I was able to see my grandmother earlier and she's out of a coma. Her eyes are still closed and she has a long road to recovery but all things considered, she's doing much better. She even squeezed my hand at few times after I cracked a joke about being her handsomest grandson. She's 96 years young, mostly blind, but still tough as nails
It's been a good day

Having Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead Bourbon Barrel Aged in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Tanshell Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard while I watch UFC Fight Night 264, Marvin Vettori vs. Roman Dolidze (a rematch two years later). I wasn’t able to watch the event as it was being broadcast live—Susan and I were busy putting floorboards back in place in the attic; the new electrician completed work in the attic and second floor of the house, so we can begin closing up stuff that was open for rewiring.

No action photos today due to, well, forgetting during the Muletown festivities. First bowl today was Back Down South, courtesy of @BurleyVonPuffington, in a Peterson Sherlock. Second was a sample of Sutliff’s last blend, a VaPer called Sweated, in a Moonshine Stoker. Third and final was 2016 MB Symphony in a Ron Smith. Photo of Jeremy and Pete for attention.
Watching a James Webb telescope documentary with some green matcha tea and a bowl of Louisiana Broken in a Caminetto bamboo.
Seeing this post again upon a second scroll-through of the thread, that pair of chicken houses really does deserve an upgrade of like to love. Awesome work there.
Ugh, I miss a good March or April snow. I miss the Rockies! Beautiful picIn between Scrabble matches w/wifey, we went out to the workspace for a match of gin rummy. Cigarillo for her, Mac Baren Plumcake in a Barling sandblasted egg for me. Very glad to have gone extra deep on this blend. 9/10

I beg to differ—this thread exists in the “Pipe Tobacco Discussion” forum; cigars have no business being in this thread unless they’re being smoked in a pipe, or are posted in addition to a pipe. We have a Cigar section for cigars.
You have excellent taste in lighters, Sir! I just bought one of those today at the Muletown show. I just LOVE that simple tobacco plant.I had to miss out on dinner plans tonight so I can catch up on logging my hours towards licensure. Keeping me company in the garage is my

Haha, great minds think alike! I couldn't agree more, it was just too cool to pass up. Sounds like Muletown was hoot and you came home with a lot of goodies. I look forward to seeing your new pipes, baccy, and zippo in action here!
Sorry about the laugh emoticon, but I do have a black sense of humour. My mom was never pleased about this . . .
Killer Klowns from Outer Space was one of my all time favourite flicks!

Last smoke of the evening is C&D Autumn Evening in a corn cob paired with Guinness.
The next pipe is by little known Danish maker, Carsten Idskov - a squat one eighth bent Bulldog with a sperm whale spacer
