Nice piece of wood. Hope it smokes well for you.
McCranie's Red Ribbon in a Peterson Mark Twain
1792 is good, and I have some of that.Have not smoked it in months.Maybe I will later.
Been noticing Watch City blends going into the out of stock column. I'm out of DCC and SR has been out of stock for awhile. Hope this doesn't become the norm.
Haven't regularly ordered for a while, other than several pounds of Rouxgaroux back in the Spring. Still working on the ten pounds of WCS I ordered for IPSD 2015.
One errand on the road down (what a terrific day out for the drive). One Zoom conference down (I still think it’s weird, but I’m getting the hang of it). Now time for a lo-ooo-ong coffee break. I’m lucky enough to have one of those coffee makers that keeps the contents relatively warm, so it’s leftovers from this morning, black.
The Premier 313 served my earlier flake well, and one good flake deserves another, ghost or not.
This rubbed out Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired dried almost too well during that video conference and the opening burn tastes really good right now.

Rattray’s Hal O’ The Wynd in a Kaywoodie handmade Rhodesian from 2020
Samuel Gawith's Cabbie's Mixture in my self-carved kit from SmokingPipes.
I've found my groove with VaPers and this is a VaPer.
I'm halfway through my first bowl. I like it and would happily smoke it again. But I don't love it.
It strikes me as a wonderful all-day VaPer. It's relatively mild and has a good flavour. It's not soggy like some Samuel Gawith but is still a bit bitey out of the tin.
Since I'm a once/day smoker, I'm looking for a little more from a VaPer. Dunhill Navy Rolls is still my favourite and Samuel Gawith's St. James Flake is a very close second.
I'd still highly recommend Cabbie's Mixture for anyone that wants a mild all-day VaPer.

GH Scotch Flake in an Eric Heberling Sandblasted Strawberry Wood Billiard. 
It won't pop up on YouTube's search engine. Was getting subscribers when my "About" page requested none. I can post it again, it's just unlisted.
My thanks sir, just grabbing my cigar lighter and Captain Black now, hoping for the best
Bill Walther is just one of the many makers I was ignorant of until recent years making outstanding pipes for a very fair price. I give a lot of props to guys like Bill, Jose Rubio, Jack Howell, Jesse Jones, etc. who make great smoking and well-carved pipes in the $300-700 range. That range is itself a chunk of change and all value is relative....but while I 100% respect the skill of some of the big name NA carvers.....there's a class of pipe going for $800+ that to me is just cheeky as hell. Good on em' for getting that....I've bought a few. But hat-tip to artisans like Bill that both are supremely talented and price in an appropriate (to skill/effort) but approachable range.
John B Hayes Admirals Blend in my Royal Meerschaum apple
St. James Flake (2014) in a Ryan Alden Footed Bent Egg.
Just finished smoking year 2002 C&D Repose in a smooth unfinished brown slight bend 2015 Savinelli 320KS author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Now smoking KBV Plague Bringer 2020 (Hellstar) in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a gold and black swirl acrylic tapered stem. Working on reviews as I watch the A's-Astros game.
