I have been busy the last few weeks so have not been around too much. I just got back from a weeks vacation up north for some dirt riding, fishing, and the county fair. Only smoked a few bowls while on vaca but did manage to get a few cigars in. I'm not much of a picture taker but here are a few I managed to get.

They started logging the woods where I usually go riding turning gorgeous woods from this:

Such a shame...
There are a lot of little lakes and rivers in the area. The kids and I hit up a few.

As you can see the fishing wasn't great but the kids didn't care as long as they caught something and I really enjoyed being out on the water.
Had a few bowls today to play catch up. This morning was Bald Headed Teacher in an MM Great Dane with Forever Stem. This afternoon a bowl of Mississippi River in a Lilliput. That bowl finished up the 2oz tin, but as you can see I have an unopened 8oz ready to go. Currently smoking some Davidov Flake Medallions in a Calibash.

I'm always interested in learning more (knowledge of said trait evidenced by your questions.) I know it was made in TALY.
Great post Jack, thanks for sharing.Quote:

It smokes amazing, actually. One of it's more charming characteristics is it fully combusts whatever I put in it.Quote:
