GLP Windjammer in a Savinelli Punto Oro 707
Working from home this afternoon, with a Drew Estate Kentucky Fire Cured Fat Molly.
Pântano (a nostalgic Brazilian tobacconist version of Frog Morton On The Bayou...) in a Mario Grandi estate pipe.
If it smokes well, your friend made a very cool Lovat!
First time trying Lane Black Raspberry. Dried it a few hours first. Used my "berry" dedicated cob, with the red line to designate. It isn't bad. Has a pleasant subtle sweetness. Better than the cherry tobaccos I've tried so far. Not sure I'll be buying more, but it's a nice change of pace.
I’ve relegated my “daintiest” pipe (Kaywoodie Campus White Briar Belgique) to my strongest tobaccos.
Today’s lunch is SG 1792 DKF.

KBV Van Gogh in the Pete Walnut Spigot.
Anyone know what this blend is comprised of? I swear I get a coconut flavor on first light.

Enjoyed a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins thrown in, and a big peach on the side. I just finished smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Wilke Rumcake in a Lorenzo squat bulldog
Habana Daydream in a 4th Generation Freehand.
I’d read that Orlik Golden Sliced was a good candidate for fold-and-stuff, so I tried it in my Dr Grabow Omega. It’s got the tallest and narrowest chamber of my briars, so why not.
I had my usual troubles getting it going, and did not quite achieve Nirvana, but it had some nice moments. About midway through, I picked up some notes of the PS Cube Cut I smoke a lot in this pipe, which were not unwelcome. It made me curious if us “wet smokers” are likely to experience ghosting to a greater degree, from getting the residue in the shank extra wet…

Earlier in the morning I smoked Five Brothers in a Savinelli Silver 606 EX
Now it is Cigar Time - Cain FF in a Nub 464 torpedo vitola

Tabac De La Semois: Les Bouchon, in a Peterson Aran 05.
Getting to the bottom of this tin of SG&Co Squadron Leader special edition with Perique, in a Peterson B11 bent brandy sitter with a smooth finish and grain that has deepened in contrast and visibility over the twelve or so years I've owned it. This was a modestly priced version of this excellent sitter shape and the grain looks far better now than it did when I bought it. Anyone else had that experience with a pipe?
I'm tempted to seek to order another tin of this blend, but I have so many others waiting in the wings, a great selection of really choice blends, that it may be a while to repeat this experience -- maybe for next summer.
It's still hot, pushing 100 F here in central N.C. I'm running my wife's little Toyota manual shift around town after jump starting it, to get the computer re-set so I can get the car inspected to pay the registration fee and property tax. It takes about 200 miles to reset. It's a chore, but I'm enjoying driving manual shift again, which I did for more than thirty years.
