A quick bowl of "Mystery Mix" in a Dunhill Canted Dublin.
Going to my sons for diner taking some Cult Blood Red Moon and Dunhill Nightcap
with my DG Savoy and Castillo straight billards.

Had a nice turkey dinner. Light and dark meat – I like both. Topping off with a fill of Capstan Medium – thankfully, no calories in that!
Hope that all of you are having a great Thanksgiving day!

I've been smoking my metal-stem Kirsten Mariner exclusively for the past two or three months. But today I'm smoking my favorite conventional briar -- this one (which I bought several years ago):
PS Studio Sandblasted Pot | Buy PS Studio Tobacco Pipes at Smokingpipes
I call it a 'Lumberpot" -- Lumberman stem, Pot bowl. It's ideal for me since it has the broad, shallow, tobacco chamber that I like (easy draw), and its bowl walls are thick -- important for a holder, such as me, because the bowl never gets uncomfortably warm.
This pipe is made in Russia, and has the cleanest, most accurate, drillings (chamber, draft and mortise) of all my pipes -- including my much more expensive Dunhill Liverpool. Grechukhin is a noted Russian pipe maker that sells very expensive (like about $1K) pipes. But he also oversees a two-man studio that makes pipes, of his design, that sell for for much less. This pipe is one of those. Its bit has a neat design feature: it's vulcanite, but the tenon is black Delrin, seamlessly set into the vulcanite. That thin-walled, elastic Delrin tenon has a wonderful fit -- stays in position perfectly, yet can be easily turned without jerking.
I guess I should mention what's in the pipe: alternating fills of aged DF and Capstan Medium -- both good, reliable smokes.

Started where I left off last night, Cult BRM in my Savoy. Today is bright and sunny
and feels like a good day for flakes. So Orlik Golden Sliced is on the menu and I think
it will smoke great in my Swiss BBK.

G&H Rum Flake in the big ol' General. This is another blend I had in a mason jar for a year with the lid disk upside down. Giving it that little bit of air does wonders to dissapate that rose scent I so despise. Nice blend now, though I think it would benefit from a splash of perique. I tend to like rum and perique together. They say this is an 'aromatic'; whatever the case, these are the kinds of aromatics I like.
