Okay if it doesn’t for awhile - our new-ish pup mostly makes my wife think of the great boy we lost earlier this year - I think of him every day and 16 years of happiness makes for good memories that are easier to reflect on every month.

HU Tobacco - Edward G. in a Peterson and a Cup of Joe.
Vanilla Royale in a Dr. Grabow. El Salvador micro lot honey processed with local whole cream milk. Football all day. Happy Veterans Day! Go Vols!
The leaves don't seem to be ended. So I recruited Ten Russians to give me a hand with them. Sometimes they can give you a punch to the head, (or the tongue at least), but this time was good. Slow and steady as the turtle told Bugs Bunny. And in the cold, that Latakia sure tastes fine.
As a dusting of snow begins to fall on this chilly late autumn morning, I'm parked out on the porch partaking in some Cornell & Diehl Briar Fox in a Dr. Grabow Lark.
Briar Fox is a rather unique blend, in that it's probably the only pipe tobacco I've ever smoked that I could simply describe as "plain tobacco". It's a fairly equal mix of nutty Burleys and grassy Virginias, with just enough unsweetened Black Cavendish to give the smoke a good body. None of the tobacco retailer or review sites ever mention that there's Black Cavendish in it, but there most certainly is and it's used to good effect.
In any case, if someone came to me and said, "I just want a plain pipe tobacco. No froufrou toppings, no added flavorings, and none of those strong tasting condiment tobaccos like Latakia, Dark Fired Kentucky, or Perique. Just plain tobacco, daggummit!" I'd have to respond with, "Relax old dude, here's some Briar Fox. Try it, you'll like it." And he would like it, too.

Looks like a RabbitAir. I have 3; one for every room I smoke in. They do a really good job for a quite and compact machine!
I love Cabbies Mixture. I bet it smokes fantastic in a clay!
@TN Jed Yes it does; you should get a clay and try some in it!
Going to get some Gawith Hoggarth to smoke in my clays when I go to Buxton next week.

I'll pick one up next order. I'll let you know when I become a loyal subject to the Clay King.
Lane RLP-6 in a Savinelli Roma Lucite 673
Nice grain on that Nording. I have one myself, and would buy another in a heartbeat. Always appreciate the dog pics, too. My hounds are snoozin'

Going to be grabbing a tin of this on the next shipment!
I love the authenticity certificate (and the pipe), I wish every pipe was be made with one, it would save us all a lot of time trying to date estate pipes.View attachment 260591View attachment 260592View attachment 260593View attachment 260594View attachment 260595Got a haircut, shaved, lit a pipe

Needless to say, I'm ready for (and enjoying thus far) basketball season.
Captain Black Royal in this one of a kind Purple Pipe.
The owner of the local shop says he got this as an unfinished project with a lot of estates and partially rusticated it and stained it purple!
