For a change, Gawith and Hogarth rope tobacco that I chopped up some months ago in the Dr.Grabow.

When home blending/mixing sometimes you learn what to do and sometimes you learn what not to do. Either way, a worthy effort, indeed. Also, on a side note, wanted to let you know that after a couple more bowls of Until The End, i think it's a solid recommendation. Good stuff! Smoked another couple bowls last night and it seems to be as good with coffee in the morning as it is as a night capper.Extending this beautiful night with MB HH ODF in the MM Country Gentleman. I actually mixed in some of the Sutliff Black Cordial, but I'm not going to pretend that was a great idea. I'm still enjoying it, but the sum is NOT better than the parts ...
It was worth a try!
This early morning i'm out to catch the sunrise with a bowl of Kelly's Coin for the 3rd bowl in the Pete Newgrange and a mug of Italian roast coffee.
Amphora Original in a Country Gent.

Great to know - thanks for the update on Until the End ! And you're absolutely right, learning is learning, whether it's what's right, OR what's wrong.When home blending/mixing sometimes you learn what to do and sometimes you learn what not to do.

I will continue my experimentation!

Forgive my stem upkeep.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Although all the credit goes to Larry Roush.............. He is a true talent in pipemaking.Mark, every time I see that poker I'm blown away by its beauty. Two words come to mind ... Class Act!
Good morning! Coffee, burley, cob. Saw some great college football games! Lost EVERY single one of them. Everyone, seven year old grandson included, did better. I’m somewhere between graceful looser and cutting them all out of the will.…..
Love both of those beautiful pipes!
Couldn't sleep, so I finally got up, and am at the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-WWII straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem. Fed all the cats except for the absent Tomato the Brave. Daisy the Feral Princess and Harry the Hairy were very happy to see me bring them food. All of them were.
Boy, you are right, Bob.....
Some powerful upsets.
Can't imagine what the rankings will be next week.
Savinelli Cumberland 806, packed with PeeDee, drinking some really terrible coffee
Man @MortarMessiah your coffee ratings have been all over the map lately -- first good, then bad, then back to good, and now bad again?? Ugh, this is terrible news.
Finished off the not-so-terrible coffee this morning after catching the sunrise. Enjoyed a follow up bowl of OJK Blue in an IMP and now it's time to get the eggs and bacon going. Contemplating a rare second cup.

Here here! The man needs to step up his coffee game. Life's too short for crappy coffee. One more recommendation for checking out Sweetwater Organic (local Gainesville roaster)! :P
