More nightcap in the Comoy’s 334
Yesterday night I smoked a Rocky Patel Shade with an old friend visiting. He smoked a few cigarettes. I have given him cigars before but he could not smoke it
Today, I am smoking a Oliva 96 rated round cigar - which is supposed to be a Melanio rolled round. It tastes very close to a Melanio: However even with 6 months of age in my humidor it still does not taste exactly the same.

I was wondering if anyone would mention that
Got the afternoon smoking with some Port Guardian in an IMP.
HU Janneman Flake in an Altinay Spigot Pot and Diet Coke on the side.
Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Belgrade Carved Rusticated Lovat with a mug of black coffee.
Some 2014 Scottish Cake in a Carmette Dublin for an afternoon treat.
Smoking some Sun Bear Tupelo Honey this afternoon wondering when Fall will get here…in a Rattrays Goblin. 
It’s turned out to be a Monday worthy of its reputation, but it’s coming around.

That’s cool! Thanks for the photos. I’ve been using an old Pyrex percolator (clear glass) and fooled around and broke the grounds basket. I can get a moka pot for about what it costs to replace the basket. I’ll let you know if I pull the trigger.Absolutely, yes and yes. I've had it a long time, seems indestructible. It makes a very strong, smooth, espresso-like coffee. I usually top up with plain milk, about 50/50. You'll get the hang of it after a few brews. Trick is to heat slowly, so it just "dribbles" out the top -- you don't want it gushing and frothing everywhere. Watch some youtube videos on it!! Good luck!
You basically want this sequence (funny, because I actually took these earlier this morning):
Best Brown Flake in a Cristiano
Excellent! They come in many sizes. I have what's called the "6-cup" size, which makes about 10 oz of final product -- it's perfect for 2 people (or 1 person who really wants to be hopped up on caffeine, like I was today!).
2020 Abingdon in a Bill Shalosky Prince
Germain's Medium Flake in Asteriou
U hit the nail on the head. If I ever hadda taken Orders, I'da been a Carthusian! Contemplative silence and 6 hours of solitude in meditation.
Will have to get a package of St. B!
