Wifey has gone out on the horse, so now's the time for me to clean up the ranch and batten down the hatches. Temperature is in the process of dropping precipitously, and we actually have a chance of snow tonight. In mid-September. Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it myself, but it's pretty nippy already, and the clouds are forming in earnest. Still, I way prefer this to what summer has to offer, and I'll certainly be enjoying the small post-chore bowl of Savinelli 140th Anniversary currently drying (in the Foyard Rhodesian, of course) after it's finished.

Ropp 513 skinny shanked Dubl-at, trying again some crap that P&C sent me under the guise of “Coniston Cut Plug”-arrived labeled “Coniston Unscented” and tastes like a cheap RYO that only an attorney from down south could love. Back to the “care package for those behind progressive state lines” pile.
Oliva Flor Gold cigar, in a meer.
The little bit of a deertongue ghost from a couple bowls of Gentleman Caller the other day is having a lovely effect.

Highland Targe in a Kaywoodie shape 93b. Haven't smoked this blend or this pipe in a while and it's a good combination.

Another cigar tonight: Oliva Black Swan
Enjoying a bowl of Lancer Slices in a no name freehand while watching fooseball 
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, porterhouse steak, sweet corn and mashed potatoes dinner with a big banana split for dessert. I'm smoking a bowl from a freshly opened pack of year 2015 Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a tapered black acrylic stem. It's too humid for coffee tonight, so ice water and bergs is my drink.
Wilke Gramercy Park boosted with Ryback for my end of the weekend smoke.
Now smoking some Uhle's 00 in a 1969 253 group 4 root briar billiard, all rubbed and polished for a Sunday smoke ... looking its best on the Lord's day, a well-groomed pipe 
Yes it is quite aggressive rustication -- one could use it to scratch an itch or even as a self-defense tool
I need to restock on Blend 300 and Perfection Plug. Glad I live near Uhles lolNow smoking some Uhle's 00 in a 1969 253 group 4 root briar billiard, all rubbed and polished for a Sunday smoke ... looking its best on the Lord's day, a well-groomed pipe

Tapping the Nightcap ash from my Pete SH Baskerville
Some Quiet Nights in the new Blatter Canadian. 
O man, I am very jealous!
Pipeworks & Wilke #72 in a Royal Lane Bent Acorn
Haunted Bookshop in a Rossi Mezzanotte tonight. 
Earlier today, a bowlful of HOTW in a MM Freehand for a trip to town to celebrate my daughter’s b’ day.
Now back home for more HOTW; this time in a Radice Bark T/B apple. Watching the Texans/Bears.
