Part way through this bowl of Pelican in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat. Derek Jeter singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game in his last at bat at Yankee Stadium. Absolutely incredible!

Just finished smoking Borkum Riff Limited Edition 11 with Trinidad Rum in a 1978 smooth full bend Dr. Grabow Omega. Next is Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a smooth 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside.

Sam Gawith FVF Plug in a 1/8 bent black, blasted Portland Miniweight Zulu. The flavour on this blend is beautiful sweet caramel but it's a bugger to keep lit until I work out my prep. Currently dry then thin slices and cubed, but the natural oils mean that you can end up with oily nuggets that resist the light and get harder with heat. Kindling helps but not much and is difficult to produce. I get the feeling that sliced and rubbed will give me nuggets by a different route, so it's vertically stacked slivers for the next few bowls. An old fail-safe that has saved many a plug from a frenzied, frustrated stabbing attack! Tune in next time...
