Finished up some more chores and decided to revisit C&D “Day Light” in the Dr. Grabow, Crown Duke. More ice water.

Now smoking year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Watching the Brewers-Mets game. Glad I'm recording the games.
2019 GH Best Brown #2 in a Radice Silk Cut
I don’t know what this is but I love it. I ordered a couple of ounces of GH&CO Latakia in 2019 from SP and received something resembling very very strong burley, I mean it’s Picayune strong. I thought it was an air cured burley blend at first but now I detect perique and red Virginia I think, no dark fired. Now a few years later with more experience I’m leaning towards either Haunted Bookshop or Old Joe Krantz, at least I believe it has the same components as those blends, it definitely has perique. My 2019 HB and OJK was delicious, it was much richer than my new pounds of both… much like this blend. This stuff is amazing and I have no clue what it is and it’s almost gone.
Just got inside from doing a full day of yard cleanup. Started the Holiday Season smokes: 2021 C&D Corncob Pipe & a Button Nose in an AKB Lattice Cherrywood Meerschaum carved by Tekin, 2021 C&D Warped Scarecrow in a 2021 Peterson Halloween XL315 Calabash w/a P-lip, 2021 C&D Golden Days of Yore in a Muhsin Volcano, 2019 Sutliff Christmas Spice in Cob Mod #1 in succession.
Dark BirdsEye.
So far it’s another record for the latest in the year date breaching 110*

Got in a bowl of Watch City's 4-Q before sundown. I don't smoke a lot of aromatics, but this one is easily my favorite.
Now smoking KBV River of Deceit 2023 in a 1985 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. This may get me to dinner time. Sleepy Suzy showed some jealousy over me giving Molly Danger attention. She kept trying to crawl up my leg and butting her head against my right hand, silly cat.
Too bad I can’t smash the “love it” emoji multiple times!
First pipe of the month was a special one, being an anniversary celebration. Drew Estate Grand Central (one of my overall favorites) in a Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian. 9/10

Remember, real men don't always use emojis, but when they do, they smash them only once...
I got that pipe at George's.
On another note, I meant to answer you on an earlier post regarding the clay pipe. I highly recommend them with the vulcanite stem.
