Having been informed just this afternoon of Joe Lankford's passing, this sample of SPC Hogshead from
@TheIronMonkey is extra special, and certainly my first go of it is worthy of maximum enjoyment. It is for this reason I am pairing the smoke with nothing but the occasional sip of cold water to clear my palate. Using my non-lat, non-aro pipe, a Stefano Santambrogio Bent Rhodesian.
Bird report: California scrub-jay, House finch, California towhee, Steller's jay, Common raven, Ring-necked dove, Mourning dove, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, Hairy woodpecker, and Red-tailed hawk.
Honored to be in such company with
@JimInks smoking the same blend, as seen above.
...although I'm on strike from watching baseball, as I just can't jive with the DH in the National League. And of course, as soon as I quit watching, my Dodgers go on a tear. Go figure.
