Nice to be in the smoking lounge with a larger selection of smoking toys. Smoking a find cigar blend from Warped in a Viprati after dinner and relaxing with a little news.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2023 H&H Viprati in a straight smooth 2022 Peterson Red Killarney 606 pot with metal accents around the shank and a tapered black acrylic p-lip stem. First time smoking this pipe.

Celebrated a 100+ point Scrabble victory (lots of tile luck!) vs. wifey with my second-to-last bowl of a sample of GLP Horizons in my non-aromatic lat pipe, a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated bent author. Had to then cover the greenhouse tomatoes with an extra layer of plastic; the forecast predicts a low of 36, and they're usually off by at least a handful of degrees (to the higher end, naturally). Fingers crossed that I'll still have a crop tomorrow morning. 8/10

Bird report: Dark-eyed junco, House finch, California towhee, California scrub-jay, Band-tailed pigeon, White-crowned sparrow, Chipping sparrow, California quail, American crow, Mountain chickadee, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Hairy woodpecker, Northern flicker, Red-tailed hawk, Bushtit, Spotted towhee, and Western bluebird. Pretty much a full cast today.

Could get snow as early as Tuesday, and if that happens, it'll beat the record for earliest snowfall here by about two weeks. Stay warm everyone! Errr... @Sobrbiker you can just ignore that part!

Now smoking year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight smooth 2023 Peterson Red Killarney 53 lovat with metal accents around the shank and a black acrylic p-lip saddle stem. First time smoking this pipe. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Almost done with some Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Rattray Fachen Billiard. It's been one of those absolutely sublime kind of smokes, I packed this bowl yesterday after fluffing up some of the flakes and then promptly forgot about it till earlier, smoked about half on my way to my gig and the rest on the way back. Delightful flavors, you get the classic Virginia notes of bread, grass and hay intermingled with a delightful spicy fermented fruit notes. Something about the pack, the dryness and the cadence after a good gig made it one of those memorable smokes that you only get every so often. I'm gonna have to do more Virginias in this pipe, it was mostly a Burley pipe but I wanna see what else sings in it. Cheers everyone hope your Saturday was as good as mine just was!

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a smooth brown full bend 1984 Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Sleepy Suzy decided to have fun with a tool bag.

Did some low calorie snacking, and am half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a black rusticated full bend 1984 Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. After Tomato the Brave came in to eat, he jumped on my lap, and wouldn't leave until he got all the rubs and scratching that he wanted. Never seen a cat with a bigger smile than his. The others ate and wanted back out.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of 2023 KBV Roman Legion in a 1935 small, straight smooth dark brown Irish Free State K&P (Peterson) billiard with a silverish cap military mount and tapered black vulcanite stem.


Currently, I'm at the quarter mark of this bowl of first production Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave came back in and ate. Tomato is laying on m'lady's chair with a cushy blanket to snooze on. Daisy is near my feet. Didn't see Harry the Hairy.
