This is an exceptional WAYS post for me.
I just celebrated my 40th with some old fuckers from my fraternity (from more than 20 years ago!) who also just celebrated their 40th, so I pulled out some primo.
I gave my mechanical engineering brother-in-arms one of Fidel's Cohibas, and we burned the enemy's crops. My college roommate, who introduced me to the pipe, took my Castello Sea Rock and loaded it with Bengal Slices for his first round with the blend. And I loaded my favorite blend--Ten to Midnight--for an inaugural voyage in my new Ser Jacopo POTY 2023.
The rest of the evening has no photographic evidence, but damage was done to my tobacco and scotch collections. There were no regrets.
Cheers!
