Just had fried chicken, fried potatoes and my attempt at a low country, South Carolina style okra and tomato dish for lunch. I don't know what the hell got into me. Now smoking Gawith, Hogarth & Co. Dark Flake Unscented in a Stanwell bill.
Yesterday and today opened with KBV Burley Morning in my first pipe, a Benton bent Rhodesian and in the late afternoon Orlik Golden Sliced in my Jack Howell Rakish Acorn. Wife and I are rebuilding our back back - flipping all of the boards and respacing them. The contractors miscalculated on the spacing when the built it 8 years ago and there was not real drainage to speak of. All of the boards are seriously cupped but this rebuild should be good! About 2/3 done with the large open deck. Seriously labor intensive but I think better than the alternatives.
Earlier, I smoked year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Kentucky in an undated Family Era Sasieni Natural Four Dot Grosvenor smooth medium brown quarter bend bulldog with a black tapered vulcanite stem. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2017 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.
