Great way to wind up the day!

Yes I enjoyed the full packet of Mac Baren Virginia Number 1 I got from @marconi in my clay pipes last year, he's sent me another packet in my soldier's supplies this time!

Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth, dark brown full bend egg with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This may get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Phillies game on ESPN.

Goodnight smoke of Merde de Cheval in the Balandis Bog Oak. Watched the first episode of the new series of Fargo tonight, absolutely brilliant tv.

First bowl ever of Savinelli 145th Anniversary blend for the first bowl ever in this sandblasted Savinelli Autograph (both arrived yesterday) along with a glass of A de Fussigny VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac:






The pipe, the blend, & the drink all are just fantastic!

What were the noticeable differences throughout the respective eras?

That'd take an entire article to explain it all. The short version: lots of similarities, and few differences, mainly in the sweetness level. A tad less Latakia later on by effect only, if not by choice. House of Windsor gave up caring about all their blends by the late-90s, and was using cardboard in place of burley.

First time trying Sillem’s Black. Clay pipe seemed like a good candidate for tasting the tobacco for the first time. Black turkish coffee is my drink.View attachment 79179How did you like the Sillem’s?
