Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am passing the quarter mark on this bowl of 70s, 80s Balkan Sobranie in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem.
Today's smokes were:
- A blend of C&D bright and red Virginia in the MM Hardwood. It's currently still heavily ghosted by Visions of Celephaïs, but I enjoy having that "spice" over plain blending Virginias until I crack the next tin of VoC.
- War Horse Bar in the Kaywoodie 42 apple. I took little breaks whenever the pipe went out, so that I wouldn't overwhelm myself with nicotine, and that was a good life choice. It also meant for less wet gunk on the pipe cleaner. I'm thinking my next bowl of this might be spread over a whole day, or that I might just fill the bowl halfway for future smokes.
In other news, I cracked open my tin of Wilsons of Sharrow "Apri" (apricot) snuff, and took a few toots. I wasn't sure at first, but the lingering presence in my nostrils was wonderful. Another winner!
