Sitting on my deck on the first cool day of the season. I decided to open a pouch of Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs. Opened the pouch, cut a few thin slices and loaded my pipe. No drying time and smoked perfect. A little gurgle here and there but I attribute that to my packing. Excellent plug with a sweet rich Navy flavor. A hint of Perique toward the end of the bowl. I’m glad I ordered a few pouches from Germany earlier in the year.

Back after being out a bit! Ordered some 3 Sails to mix with some good lat, & figured I'd puff a little of it straight in a WO Larsen black sandblasted brandy I picked up fro SPC. As expected, too bland & cigarettey by itself, but then again that's why I planned to meld the lat with it. Not too bad, though!

Now smoking Dan Tobacco Ascanian No. 2 Sweet & Gentle in a 2001 smooth full bend St. Patrick's Day Peterson 03 with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem. Time to walk.

Warped King's Stride in a Serova Lovat (heavily rusticated; Sea Rock inspired). This blend seems to improve in a very large bowl. Having it with some citrus-infused pu erh tea.

Good gawd, I don't know whether to call that a Lovat or a nosewarmer!

Practicing for a smoking competition where I have to smoke a clay pipe of tobacco as fast as you can to win!
The convention is for slow smoking; the longest I've kept my clay pipe burning is 24min, but I managed 17mins last Sunday in the churchyard!
Still need to work on my timings!

Dan, you're straynj.

Smoking some Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in my Dr. Grabow Riviera, this pipe should get me to the weekend.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 1945 Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company Good Old Summer-Time in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Working on a review on this blend.

Snacked a bit, and am now smoking Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching It's a Wonderful World starring Jimmy Stewart.
