Nice pipe club tonight. Smoking a second bowl of Barbary Coast, a kind gift from Ted Vig, in my Peterson Short.
Me and Sandblast, he'll have to remind me what he was smoking. He's always got some nice vintages.
With the good-sized bowl in my Rossi 8815 Lumberman, I filled it with some Speakeasy (thanks to Craig's generosity) and even though it was nicely dried, it lasted nearly 2 hours. This length was probably artificially extended due to me taking breaks to contribute to the conversations plus scarfing down a couple of the bakery treats (thanks to Barry).
I really liked the Speakeasy, finding it to be fairly mild & pleasant.
Your gratitude to Ted for his gift was equal to mine for past gifts from him.
Yes ... kudos to the various Pipe Club brothers (!!!).

Glad you enjoyed my "nice vintages", which for this meeting were McClelland's Arcadia, McClelland's Oriental Mixture #1 & McClelland's Royal Cajun Special. Each has received good feedback from the brothers, but McClelland was always revered. Many still grieve the loss.
NOTE: There just might be some more McClelland blends upcoming. ;)
NOTE2: Yes, I'm aware that McClelland stuff can likely generate a pretty penny on the open market but keeping it to enjoy & share is sort of its own payment.

I haven’t fired up a pipe in a while due to a cold spell. Smoking when the temps are hovering around zero is just no fun to me. Today it “warmed up” into the teens so I loaded up an old Dr. Grabow with some well aged cherry aromatic and took the dog into the woods to smell rabbit tracks. We both enjoyed ourselves.

Enjoyed a light low calorie snack, and my last smoke of the day is Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Fed all of the ferals, which took some time, but all of them are happy now. I fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, too.
