Rode one of the horses for short distance earlier and then decided to have some Briarworks Brian's Beard in a custom reproduction of pipe belonging to Civil War Union Captain Ellis (from photo). Had a bottle of water to drink.

Cigar, football and coffee this afternoon 
Aladino Corojo Rothschild with black coffee. Man it's just turned out to be a really good smoking day. I got run off the porch once from some sideways rain. But other than that I've mostly been able to keep a bowl or stick lit all day. Coffee and Tobacco, it don't get much better.
Currently smoking my Meerschaum Market - Lee Van Cleef pipe with some Sutliff 515RC-1.
GL Pease Jacknife Plug in one of my Eric Nording freehand pipes.
Decided to break up smoking through my tin of XXV Reserve Dusk by opening up my tin of Brothers in Arms.
I don't think there's lat in it, but the tin note almost smelled like a mix of lat and ketchup-y barbeque that reminded me of HH Bold Kentucky. Smoking it though, taste not as strong as the tin note. Thankfully, the DFK comes off more like ODF than Bold Kentucky (I preferred the ODF between those two).
It's mostly a woodier taste that's only mildly peppery mixed with a cocoa-esque very mild sweetness, though occasionally there's a kind of mesquite-smoked taste to it, which is my least favorite kind of barbeque smoke taste (I tend to prefer fruit woods like cherry and apple).
I think maybe the oriental tames the flavor a lot, occasionally there's an extremely mild background hint of floralness from them that I wish shined through a bit more. Leaves an aftertaste in my nose of a smoked black pepper.
It's a really good blend, just not quite my style. It won't be one of my favorites, but I don't hate it either.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching the Yankees-Jays game. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.
It’s really good, Boswellpipes.com is the owner and blender, It’s a not expensive, I would recommend getting some countryside as well, alot of folks say it taste a lot like Frog Morton Cellar, I feel like countryside is a tad closer to it personally, there English blends. Try it I’m sure you will enjoy
Putting flame to some Capstan yellow in the Peterson POTY 24 terracotta
Being that it’s October, I thought I’d pop the top on some From Beyond. Smoking some now in a 1920’s Loewe Loder. 
C&D Bayou Morning in a Ken'ichiro volcano.
prior to bed time short smoke, Rattrays Stirling out of Ropp Junior J 22
I'll have to check it out. Thanks
This is a cool one Keith!
Taking a little break from decorating with a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop Cake 
loaded in a cob with a diet Dr. Pepper on the side.
Followed by a half bowl of KBV Golden Age loaded in my Savinelli Porto Cervo 127 for dessert.
Hope you all have a relaxing Sunday!
