Cornell & Diehl Rajah’s Court in a Sasieni Four Dot Amesbury
Davidoff Flake Medallions in Peterson Spigot
I smoked two bowls of John Cotton’s Double Pressed Virginia. I didn’t plan to, but I was labeling a few new tins to put in my cellar and noticed this one sounded like dry tobacco shaking around the tin. I figured the seal broke in shipping so I popped it open. It turns out it was just the tobacco that came loose from the cake. It turned out to be a very enjoyable, relaxing smoke. It was on the mild side, semi-sweet, smooth and very consistent down the bowl. It was so good I packed a second bowl.
Cob Tuesday. SWR in MM Carolina Gent. Didn't go well. Smoke was fine, but tried to grill some lunch at the same time, and grilling and smoking pipe both were barely mediocre. Drying some Country Lawyer for second bowl in Peterson System.
Keeping the Stokkebye train going with Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Savinelli 311.
2012 Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug in a Jack Howell Apple.
About to fire up a bowl of Comoy’s Cask #4. The first time I had it, I think It was enjoyable, let’s see how the second tasting goes.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 172 in a 1980 smooth medium brown Lorenzo Ambra 803 Oom Paul with a pearl colored acrylic saddle stem. Time to do some walking.
Okki-Nokki Mixture in an UK-made tweaked Meerschaum pipe.
My second bowl of Peterson Irish Flake, from an older rectangular tin, in a blast straight taper-stem Kaywoodie billiard. I dried the flake and it rubbed out nicely and smokes without clogging, but the same fine bold flavor. I think I've made a friend here. I hope the current version is somewhat as good if I go to reorder eventually. Lots of good smoking ahead in this tin for sure. My rescued-from-a-drain-pipe Maine Coon type cat Fred is snoozing beside me in my desk chair while I make do with another chair. I remember Mohammed is said to have cut off the sleeve of his coat rather than disturb his sleeping cat.
Sutliff’s Heavy English in. Peterson’s St. Patrick’s Day 2013
Spent the day swapping between the Mark Twain and Carolina Gent. It is Tuesday after all..
Now smoking some Germain's Plum Cake

Had Country Lawyer in Peterson System Spigot 302. Worked out better. No more multitasking while smoking pipe. Other than drinking and listening to music.
Bow Legged Bear in a MM Pot O Gold. I'm not sure yet, but I might just buy a pound of this. I'll have to wait until my Billy Budd arrives. Having a sort of battle of the strong burley-lat titans before I decide.
Turns out it’s also Hobbit Day so I feel even better about this choice.
2012 Rotary Navy Cut in a Jack Howell Bulldog.
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have about a third of a bowl left of Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
I should be replying regarding the smoke or those awesome looking ribs, but actually I just looked up and started playing some Buddaheads -- damn they're right up my alley! Thx!
Chugging along to the end of the work day, smoking Sutliff 707 Sweet Virginia in one of my most seasoned cobs ...thinking Burley for an evening smoke, not sure what yet.
