First smoke in an estate Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian (SP calls it an Oom Paul, but as you can see, the bowl walls are slightly rounded, not flat like a traditional Oom Paul), filled with a perfectly dried bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake. Magical smoke...easily in my top 5 all-time bowls! 9.5/10
Bird report: House finch, California towhee, California quail, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Dark-eyed junco, Blue-grey gnatcatcher, Northern flicker, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, American crow, Mourning dove, Red-tailed hawk, and Western bluebird. Just about the full array today.
Sipped on a glass of red wine with the bowl, to celebrate an off-the-hook tomatillo harvest in the greenhouse. I anticipate consuming mass quantities (think Beldar from The Coneheads) of salsa verde this weekend...
Sorry for the generic internet pic...real one coming soon, I promise!
