Having a bowl of Captain Black Royal in a MM Country Gentleman.

[Emperor Zurg]

Trying out a bowl of Gawith Hoggarth Cherry Cream Flake in a Barling 5574 TVF that I got from NeverBend a while back.

Mini Review: Not a bad backy; sort of a mildly topped Virginia flake. First thing I notice is (ugh) Lakeland but it's not very strong and it's getting less and less noticeable further down the bowl. Cherry is most apparent in the nose along with a tiny bit of pepper. Dunno yet what the 'cream' is all about but this is only the first bowl of this weed. I'll have to try this rubbed out next time. Reminds me a little of Glengarry flake with the fruity sweetness. So far I still like Sam Gawith's Chocolate Flake better than this but it may grow on me.

This evening I am having Penzance in my extra large Rossi freehand.:pipe: I smoked HH Ten to Midnight several times this week; I had read that it was very similar to Penzance and I was very much disappointed.:blue: I did not expect Ten to Midnight to "rock my boat", but I did think that it would tweak my interest-it did not!:popcorn: The Penzance that I am smoking now is vintage 2010 and that may be a factor, but my Penzance is absolutely delicious. I am topping off this smoke with a large mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and I am enjoying this evening.:beerchug:

G&H Sweet Rum Twist in a little Savinelli

Now THIS is a Lakeland. 'Sweet' only when smoked alongside something like Happy Bogie, the tiniest touch of rose geranium or whatever that perfume they use, but other than that, just a full flavored powerhouse - earthy, peppery and more than a little cigar-like.

Also probably the last bowl I'll ever have at my little smoking spot here. Kind of a bittersweet thing it is.

All take care.

Haven't picked up a pipe in nearly 10 months but tonight I felt the urge to spend time with an old friend. So it's Bell's Three Nuns in a John Bessai poker and a bourbon and water. I hope you are all well and as contented as I am right now.

The sale is over so the next few weeks will be loading and storing the left overs.But on that we have just over two months and we
have already dug thru the worst area to pull out things for the sale.I'm thinking a bowl of Virginia Gold Black and Gold will help me
relax and prepare for more heavy lifting.Also there is a jar of SPS LNF hiding in there somewhere and that meer is begging to be loaded.

Tried a couple new ones yesterday. A friend just came back from England where he visited the Segar and Snuff tobacconist in London. He brought me back some "Balkan Blend" and "Black Pigtail." The Balkan was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The Black Pigtail I believe is by Gawith and Hoggarth and is most excellent. Very smooth, none of the harshness that often accompanies twists. Vitamin N in abundance. Makes good chaw as well.

Your post reminds me of this paragraph from "The Hobbit" (J. R. R. Tolkien):

"Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast smoking an enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed)—Gandalf came by."

Did Gandalph come by?

Had a nice little pipe herf this evening - one of my hunting buddies is getting into pipe smoking so I invited him over to shoplift in my tobacco cabinet. He walked away with 10 or 12 samples, including some rather large samples of stuff I didn't much care for, and some Tambolaka and Nicotania Rustica that I made him take for cultural edification.

Then we had a pipe on the deck - he had some Dunhill 965 while I had some of my homemade navy flake.

[Branzig]

Unpacked the ol' cellar today...wish I could say the same regarding the other 8 bazillion boxes that are thrown about my new house right now!

Decided to have some Haddo's Delight in a big ol' ugly Custombilt to steal an hour to relax.
