MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky in a Peterson 317 Standard System. I don't know if it's an aftereffect from Covid, but I am not getting much smokiness from the DFK. Weird.

A third of a bowl left of C&D Carolina Red Flake 2024 (Small Batch) in a black straight, grain etched family era post-WWII Four Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Still doing a study of G. L. Pease Geometrie and I have to say I really do like it. Sweet and Savory is a really nice smoke with coffee first thing in the morning. Smoking it today in my lovely #33 with that gorgeous stem.
McClelland's 40th Anniv in a Sasieni billiard.
Have you had Embarcadero? That is probably my favorite Virginia-Oriental blend, and am curious how this one compares.
Glengarry Flake in a Peterson Aran 128.
Keeping the afternoon alight with some 2013 Hamborger Veermaster in an Ahmet Govem custom commission.
OJK in a 1924 CP English billiard.
A quarter of the way through this bowl 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. Sleepy Suzy must be tired of watching the Braves-Marlins game because she's soundly snoozin' by my side. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' by my feet. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on the couch. Molly Danger is snoozin' under a blanket in the bedroom. Must be nice.
Paradoxical in a LCS briar by Simon. Watching old Talking Heads video clips on YouTube. So good.
Hey @danimalia Embarcadero has Izmir and is a flake and Geometrie has vintage Izmir and Basma leaf with the red Virginia‘s. The plug is dense and has plenty of moisture (more than I have found in most of the Pease offerings) but I haven’t been drying it at all. Air and a week in the tin really opens up the flavour and my best preparation so far has been cube cut and then rub those cubes out so you end up with fine cube flake. Floral/sweet/savoury and lovely mouth feel and the bready baked goods really shows on the retro. I’ll go out on a limb and say with some age this could be one of the best new tobaccos made.
I think Pease is onto something with this series and I plan to try them all to see what he’s trying to do and I’m very keen to see what he brings to the table with the 4th and last member of this group as well. Geometrie is definitely worth your time and $$$.
KBV B. Frog’s Study in Scarlet in an Altinay
Mowed the grass. A 1.5 hour job turned into 4 hours due to the condition of the lawn after so much rain and it just won't dry out. The good news is we expect rain tonight and we're getting hit with another tropical wave that will give us plenty more rain from Tuesday into the following week. I'm sick and tired of the f#@$ing rain. Back to the subject, Grainger in some yard cobs.
I had a busy Saturday starting a renovation on our kitchen. Now relaxing with some Doblone d’Oro in a rusticated cavicchi billiard.
