***What Are You Smoking, October 2021?***

[virkia]

Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our 50th. wedding anniversary. After church, where the Orthodox Metropolitan of Chicago (a rank equal to a Cardinal in the Catholic Church) blessed us at the close of the Liturgy, we went out, later in the afternoon, for a sumptuous dinner at Chicago's venerable Italian Village.
At home, I enjoyed a 50 year old Cuban Tueros Tubo corona, in a cedar lined aluminum tube, that I bought on our honeymoon in the Bahamas. I had a dram of The Macallan 12 to warm me up on a chilly early evening, under the gazebo.
The cigar was amazing. Lots of cedar, pepper and spice and a smooth, not too strong, Cuban flavor. The most incredible thing was the ash. It held on until the very end. I had to give up with about 3/4 of an inch left, as I didn't have a roach clip, to prevent burning my fingers or setting my moustache ablaze.
Man, what a magnificent day!

Many congratulations on your Golden Anniversary!

By the way, your magnificent ash pillar reminds of those 'Feast of Ashes' competitions from back in the day - this one from 1948

Erin Go Bragh, the Irish whiskey aromatic, in a smooth straight tapered Johs billiard. I think I have six of Mogen Johansen's pipes, with their distinct Danish style.

Finally starting to feel like something similar to human. Pipe tobacco doesn't taste bitter metallic (due to the meds I presume) but still isn't 100%. Vauen No 14 in an Altinay.

Relaxing after a wonderful parmesan chicken and tomato pie dinner with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of J.F. Germain & Son Rich Dark Flake in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Yankees-Red Sox game while Suzy incessantly bathes my arm. Molly is snoozin' on m'lady's lap.

Now smoking some GH&Co Kendal Mixed sprayed with GH&Co Coconut flavoring. As usual, no coconut taste but it does add a nice scent and mellows the blend nicely.

Haunted Bookshop in a Crown Jewels Straight Billiard, watching the new episode of Only Murders in the Building with the wife. Just finished a Henry V rehearsal with my students earlier. I'm playing Captain Fluellen, because he dropped out, so I'm working on my outrageous Welsh accent.
