Smoked the last of my Half&Half in my Dr Grabow Omega this afternoon while replacing headlight bulbs on my wife’s car. Now that jar is free for new adventures…

Penny Farthing in the Dunhill shell 59! It's crazy that the briar on this is 97 years old.

Just popped the tin on Loch Ness. I think this stuff is really good already! Smoking out of one of my bigger bowled Comoys Castleton.

Just finished some Wilke Crystal Palace in a Tilshead.
I’ll be having some Anomalous in a 22 Masta as the last smoke of the evening and a hot toddy made with cognac to ease my throat and chest. View attachment 262529

Be well, swift recovery.

Your drink sounds good! Did you add cold brew or use Mr. Black?

So here in Grand Rapids Michigan we have a distillery called Eastern kille. They make a hops fused gin that’s awesome for cocktails. It cuts the pine taste way down and allows more floral notes. I do 1oz equal parts of gin, cold brew, sweet vermouth and averna amora.

Erinmore Mixture in my Rossi Lumberman. Find it smokes hot with finer ribbon cut, works well with heavier ribbon and lightly rubbed cakes.



Need to buy some flake so I can try cube cut in it. At least that's the excuse I'm using for my next order.

Finishing the evening listening to this week’s P&C podcast while indulging a Baraccini Bent Dublin filled with 507C. Because the fridge is too full in preparation for the coming TDay feast, I couldn’t grab the 12-pack of my favorite seasonal brew, Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter. So, I opted for this new one from Shiner. Made with peaches and pecans, it tastes rather true to its festive billing. Savory sweet peach note, hints of rich caramel, citrus, nutty, smooth textured maltiness, and gentle bitter hops. And the Sutliff Virginian is, as always, tasting mighty fine as well!

Sorry to hear that.
Which one?

it was a Bullfrog by Jeremiah Misrke. It was the bent brandy. It’s still on the site. . ,just to tear at my heart strings

Had half a jar of bayou morning flake around and decided to stove it.

Edit to the above post.
After a lot of smoking, rubbing and sniffing of the two Folklore blends I’m pretty sure the 23 has a much higher proportion of Va’s. I’m sure that’s where the aroma is coming from and it’s what my Va sensitive tongue is telling me. The 22 seems heavier on the Katerini, Kentucky and Perique.
I’d still like to hear other opinion’s though.

I ended up with 2 pounds of the 22 so I didn't go for the 23. I remember thinking it had gone flat after a bit of time out of the original packaging, I think Embers had said that too. Now I'm not too sure, seems like there is plenty for my tongue after 2 years in the jar.

Most of you know that I’m a big fan of Savinelli and its rich history. Many of you know the company was founded in 1876, and that Achille Savinelli, Sr. and his siblings opened shops in both Milan and Genova (Genoa). This is a Savinelli Meerschaum Tirolean with cherry shank and horn stem with orific bit (and cork mortise) from the shop run by Angelo Savinelli located at Galleria Mazzini 31 in Genova, Italy, probably from the late 19th or early 20th Century. Savinelli 140° (2022 Edition, No. 1358/2800) seems an appropriate blend to have in it.

Here’s a vintage postcard showing the storefront at Galleria Mazzini.

Correction: Senior moment. No cork mortise on this pipe. The cherry just press fits into the Meerschaum.
