Perfect for autumn play. Our tee boxes around here get hard as a rock soon after the first frost. Just need a tiny mallet for the tap in. My friends and I often joke about the need for metal tees. I had no idea they already exist.Worse, I think they’d bend over and over if you’re not very accurate. As a golf tee, I don’t think they’ll catch on. I wish they’d rebrand as a tamper company.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 1985 MacBaren Scottish Mixture in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
This evening smoking some OJK in a Savenelli 673 Roma. Listening to Pipe & Tamper podcast. Black tea on the side.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and my last smoke of the day is SWRA in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Smoking some 2017 Broken Flake No. 7 in a Bones billiard
& some Samarra in a St. Regis billiard

You know that weird potluck/shitmix you have hiding in a jar in your work truck, that you're supposed to save only for emergencies?
That's what I'm smoking in a Fiamma.

H&H Acadian Perique/Castello billiard with saddle stem.
Got in a few more lbs of D&R tobacco. One is new to me, Ramback Balkan, which I've smoked on two full moon lunts in today's best weather. The first was in a MM Diplomat and the second in a group 3 Grabow straight billiard.
I put a handful of this blend from the bag to my sterlite covered salad bowl tobacco mixing bowl and examined the variety of leaf within. I found that it could do with additional mixing, not uncommon in bagged blends. I also found one big piece of leaf that unfurled like a bat's wing and felt like soft leather. I broke it up and mixed it in.
2 bowls in...this blend is smooth, burns cool, has interesting flavors and moderate nicotine. I would buy it again.

Match Victorian in my Falcon Algerian Hunter Shillelagh with Sumatran Dark Roast.
I packed my Stanwell 124 Lovat with Escudo but was a bit concerned it was too tight a pack so I repacked and transferred some to my Stanwell 172 Lightweight acorn. Paired with some 12 year old Auchentoshan it is a delicious smoke.
Smoking D&R Picayune in a MM cob. Black coffee to drink, with bergs.
Hamborger Veermaster from 2014 in an Ashton Old Church XX Bent Poker
Astleys 44 dark flake in a Rad Davis sandblasted straight brandy.
Now onto D&R AB Rimboche in my Falcon with more black coffee.
Now smoking Arango Balkan Supreme in an english dedicated Cup O' Joes basket pipe. Another cup of coffee is my drink.
HH Old Dark Fired in a no-name bent billiard meer. Masala chai to accompany.
