Working on some more Peretti Dundee in another Stanwell No. 11. Really starting to like this stuff. Full and rich. Relatively slow-smoking for a Peretti (that’s about moisture content, not quality, from this blending house). Overall a great smoke, on a perfect Appalachian evening, with a perfect breeze and perfect temp. Can’t complain.
Just smoked 2 bowls back to back of Mac Baren Virginia No. 1 in a meer, out on the deck. Perfect fall day.
PS Norwegian Blend in a Kaywoodie 5007 super grain billiard.
Having some Red Virginia Crumble Kake in a ‘60’s Charatan’s make Special 4148DC extra large pot with straight mouthpiece. It’s been a long smoke. Enjoying this cup of Peaberry Kona coffee with it.
Usual quiet morning followed by a busy afternoon. Resuming my smoke of pressed Argento Virginia/Burley in the Charatan 610 which I'm thoroughly enjoying....the lager ain't bad either.

Trying out my new lighter with my father’s old James Upshall pipe and some Elizabethan mixture.
Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a Cavicchi
Now smoking Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Writing a new review for this blend since it's now an STG production, and they changed the formula.

Typing this up while watching the evening news on TV (I just got done simultaneously scanning the local news app and various sources through Apple News on the Pad ... must be a Monday), enjoying what has become a perennial favorite of mine for the cooler half of the north-midwestern year.
Standard Tobacco Company’s War Horse Green! I don’t jar this stuff, I just leave it in the opened tin. The cake is smokeable as is when you pop the tin, but remains smokable even when stored carelessly. I was worried, though ... I opened this tin months ago.
Remember Terence Fisher’s adaptation of Dracula from 1958 with Christopher Lee? Remember the scene at the end when his hand hits the sunlight and crumples to ash? I thought that was going to happen here. I dug out the chef’s knife dedicated to plugs and ropes and gave it a good sharpen. Even fresh, this stuff doesn’t cut easily.
Not as dried out Is I expected ... I even had to break it up a bit afterward. It was dry enough, though, that I snapped the above picture, then quickly gave the pipe a gravity fill and barely a flattening tamp, and lit ‘er up. This is a great smoke, at least to my taste. (This Peterson Premier System 313 is getting the workout today.)

Howdy everyone, I‘m having some sour mash, neat. With some Wilke Rumcake In a T. Cook partially rusticated Canadian made in Amarillo Texas. Having Barbecue chicken tonight with Stubbs hot bbq sauce.
