With a belly full of french toast and a bunch of coffee, I'm kicking back this morning with some Rattray's HOTW in Peterson Aran 999.

Morning time with Lazy Bones in a Kaywoodee Oom Paul.
Steamworks in the Adebayo bent.
Savinelli Cumberland 806 packed with Haunted Bookshop. Drinking some good coffee. Weathers perfect out on the porch this morning. This smoke is hitting the spot
This briar is beautiful, but I really like the lighter. Very cool looking lighter
I used to “lightly” collect zippos.. moreso back when I smoked cigarettes.
It didnt take long to realize the zippo pipe lighters weren’t for me.
I was doing some digging yesterday and came upon the handful of Zippos I still have- mostly green tones and a couple graphics- and this cicada on white has always been my favorite. I put a Zippo butane insert in it- which is a maligned accessory, and I totally understand. The button is too small and you have to keep it depressed to keep it lit.
I’ll be putting it back in its box soon lol

Hey there, Scopes.........
I believe you said the other day, that Lazy Bones was your dad's favorite (or maybe I dreamt it....).
I'm not familiar with it. What is it like??

2023 Peterson EMP in a Peterson Army Mount this morning and preloaded the Herbaugh with some Haunted Bookshop
Interesting question. It is a mix of Lane RLP-6, a smidge of Maryland and Turkish, with a bit of Cherry. The bend has quite a bit of Cavendish in it due to the RLP-6 and Cherry and it has been my experience that Cavendish is not a tobacco that ages all that well. When fresh, it is a delight. I made extra batches of it due to Sutliff's closing - they were my source for Maryland, Turkish, and the Cherry. This is an older batch from 2021. I was going to hold off smoking the majority of the batches must later, but now that I see aging doesn't improve it at all, I will be putting it into rotation more regularly. That's a shame, because I certainly enjoyed it when fresh. Thanks for asking.
Cool Zippo! I have a lightning bug which I believe is in that series. I also just dug it out.

Been on a Aromatic kick this month. Lane BCA today.
I never looked in to that series (or even considered that there were other insect themed zippos)- but I can still vividly remember when and where I bought it.
I had driven about 20 miles outside of town to an auto shop that belonged to a friend of a friend at the time.
He was willing to install my new long tube headers without catalytic converters (shhhh!).
Meanwhile, I had another friend who lived in that area come pick me up. We had a few hours to kill so we drove around the little town…
Ended up grabbing some lunch and then stopped in to a humongous “smoke shop/peep show/adult bookstore”… you know, for shits and giggles.
Anyway, they had a big rotating Zippo display and when I saw the cicada, I knew I had to have it.
So it always reminds me of that day- which was a good day, I must say. =]
Cool story! This isn't mine, just a photo I grabbed off the web but this is the same design as the one I have. ZIPPO Barrett-Smythe Collection
Cumberland in a Wiley with coffee. Sweet rolls are still rising. Knew I should have started them last night.
