Went to a wedding and met an old piper. He shared his Borkum Riff with me and tried some of my Hal O' The Wynd. Really cool old timer and nice to find a fellow piper when you least expect it.
Before the fireworks in Great Falls, VA, I had a long and slow Sutliff Red Virginia Ribbon in a rusticated Mastro de Maya Dublin which was sublime. It was raining and the experience was just perfect...
Haha! Spencer, he said he was about to turn 78 and had been smoking a pipe for 50 plus years. He said my Hal O was "nice" but he prefers his Borkum. I was thinking just the opposite but kept my mouth shut.
I burned some fine British toabcco in my Freehand for Freedom.
Some at my 2nd daughters new home with her finace, his family, some of my family. My 65 y/o sister had her first s'more.
I smoked some American Patriot by Sterling Tobacco in an MM Diplomat and then pulled an 8 hour shift at the hospital.
The "World's Oldest Rodeo" was going on in town as well and we saw plenty of action at work.
I do enjoy a fine wine with my smoke I had a great batch that my cousin brought me for the 4th it tastes so good with my tobaccoit was kind of a cherry wine
I smoked some Vaper from a jar that I forgot to label in a GBD poker. Son in law made some copper river salmon which he absolutely nailed. I made a chef's salad and some elote. Great day.
Smoked some LBF in a Castello while drinking my coffee in the AM. Had some more LBF in an estate Hilson while working on my Mom's deck in the PM.
So solid....some of those old Hilson's.
Had some Anniversary Kake by Hearth&Home in a Peterson Pipe of the Year 2012 smooth and watched fireworks with my gal and a buddy. The buddy have some 1Q a go in my Peterson Aran B5.
Nothing English of course! Not on Independence Day. Today? I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and am back to my usual. I suspect our many overseas and Canadian members let the day pass without particular notice.
