Looking good! I am smoking some Pelican in my Nording Signature which also happens to have a natural finish. I love the color change. I'll have to post a pic later.Quote:

Last night I had a HUGE bowl of Prince Albert in an enormous Savanelli rusticated paneled billiard.
This morning I had a bowl of Homborger Veermaster in a MM cob with a foreverstem during my morning commute up the mountain.
Jump started the day with a Trinidad Coloniales.

Moved on to a bowl of 4th Generation 1882 in my much loved Posella. The 4th Gen tin was damn near a year and a half old when I popped it. Still haven't made my mind up about it. It has everything an English needs to be great, but the blend is a little twitchy for my tastes.

Half way through this bowl of 2012 Orlik Golden Sliced in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard. Power was out for several hours, but my local diner had plenty of pancakes, so I was happy!

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Curly Cut deLuxe Sliced in a 1961 Barling's Make #7574 canadian.
St. James Flake in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
There is a slightly flat second violin and the bassoon is a little off tempo. Which is surprising since they've been playing together for a year and a half.Quote:

Year 1973 Erinmore Mixture in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer.
Pelican in my trusty Barling stamped Regency EXEL T.V.P. Wish I knew someone who could interpret those marks. Pelican differs from the 1882 I had earlier by its homogenous, harmonious blend. Not "one note" or boring, just the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.

Finally back on line - been (mostly) away from the bum for a couple weeks due to a busted laptop, but the part finally came in yesterday I got it put back together today, and am back in the saddle. The only problem now is the internal speakers don't work (?!) I'll try reloading the driver later, see if that works.
Anyway, currently having some PS 41 cube cut burley in my best meer.

MacBaren Navy Flake in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit. Hate to see that the prices of MacBaren blends have jumped up a lot.
