A third of a bowl left of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in an egg shaped quarter bend smooth Burgundy colored 1985 Caminetto egg with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
The ferals wanted in, but when I opened the door for them, Norton the Nosey got in front of me. He's been wanting out a lot, and that's not going to happen. Anyway, the ferals all backed off because they don't want to be near Norton. I picked Norton up, and put him on m'lady's chair. Daisy the Feral Princess decided not to come in. Tomato the Brave and Harry the Hairy came in, but only Harry ate. Tomato wanted to, but I think his nerves were out of sorts because of Norton, who decided to come to the kitchen. Tomato wanted out right away. Harry nibbled a little, but Norton kept following him. The skinny fella is trying hard to make friends, and he's made a very small advancement with Harry. But, after a few minutes, Harry had enough of him and went out.

Thank you. My favorite too. For me, it's that they clench great and I like the stummel to stem ratio.

I visit Tucher-Bräu in Nuremberg many times a year since I’m there monthly for work. Great brewery, but I’ve not had their festbier. Interesting that this is imported to the US, I didn’t know any of their beers were distributed outside of Germany. Prost!
Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Finally got those pipes cleaned.
Last week I switched back and forth from McCranie's Fall Festival in a cob and Savinelli Doblone doors in a Baki Meerschaum
The "Toscano" line are all Kentucky Fire Cured, no flavors.
Antico and Extra Vecchio are my favorites but Garibaldi and Classico are both very good too.
Boy, that is a gorgeous Bing.
Listing this a few minutes early: year 2012 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown Algerian briar 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. It's near time for Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave to have their wet food.
Went one-on-one with about a trillion leaves today. Actually, it was me and my blower, but it bout wore me out, ha.
So, to console my tired self, I had some Orlik Golden Slice in a Bruno Nutten's Bing. To say it was delicious is an understatement. Had sparkling water to go with it.

I can only speak for Sir John's and Classic Flake. There's a bit of topping on Sir John's but not too heavy, at least to me. And I'm not a fan of goopy aromatics in the least. Classic Flake has very little topping

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
Elizabethan Mixture in my pipe and smoked when the Aggies finished that one off.
