Within ten minutes the sky turned dark and the heavens opened, chasing me back inside. Now certainly I realize that I'm being selfish and we really need all this rain, but for chrissake, can't we just get an hour or so between deluges? Rant over .....

I feel your pain...yesterday was my first bowl in over a month.

Where I live, smoking is directly related to what's going on outside. A long time ago I came to terms with the fact that 3 months out of the year I'll probably be putting my pipes away living here.

That's a sharp freehand you made.

Imagine what he could do if his finkers werent frozen!!:encouragement:

H&H Larry's Blend, for the first time. I was a little surprised. Based on the description, I thought it would be heavier on the Latakia. But it was much more oriental-forward than I thought.

GOOD MORNING Gentlemen!

Saturday has arrived and I am enjoying my second bowl of Maple Street
in a Wiley Rodesian tha Warren ( @Pugsley ) gifted me with just over a
year ago. Great pipe, great smoke makes for a GREAT day !!

We went through the same here in Oklahoma in the last year or so. It was either no rain or a deluge that caused flooding from hell. Just some nice easy ground soaking rains over a few days would be nice. Having a bowl of SPC Mississippi River in a Kaywoodie (again) and it's off to the lake to sink brush off the dock for crappie fishing......
