I just opened a tin of Escudo with good age on it. Old reliable.
G&H Rum Flake in a big ol' MM General with bamboo shank, cherrywood heel and knock-off forever stem.
Next day: Mac Baren Virginia #1 in the same pipe.
Half a bowl of fresh haunted bookshop in my oldest Legend. Haven't smoked in a couple weeks, but I wanted to try some of this since C&D has changed the cut of their ribbon blends. Tastes the same as any fresh HB I've had, pretty much. good.
I went to my son's for Thanksgiving dinner,and took
a tin of Out Of Office Gone Fishing with me.The blend
is a caramel topped aro. I've never tried a caramel
topped blend, and my son had not had a "new" tin
before. So after having a bit of a laugh watching
him try to open it, I then educated him and we
proceeded to smoke a little over half the tin before
getting yelled at for not socializing.It's a good after
dinner smoke,kind of sweet.Great with a strong
black coffee.
To day though, I'm on a "diet", EGR in my
Bulldogs.And of course more COFFEE .
Had some McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Savinelli Champagne bulldog.
Puffing Wessex Classic Virginia, an excellent ready rubbed VaPer. And sipping Nespresso Ristretto, a dark roast blend of Arabica & Robusta. Life is good!
Smoking a bowl of Daughters & Ryan Ramback in a Colossals billiard that I got on Ebay; it just came in the mail yesterday. It was pretty dirty; took almost a dozen pipe cleaners to get the airway clean. Then I reamed it and had to sand down the tenon a little bit because it wasn't the original stem and fit too tightly (was afraid I'd crack the shank). Also took out the metal condenser that was restricting the air flow.
You guessed it, more Dunbar! This tin is getting low, so I'll soon switch to something else. I just can't think of anything else I'd rather smoke right now.
I need to up my efforts to get a bag (or 3) of this, at some point.
Just opened another tin of F&T Blackjack, my favorite ready rubbed straight Virginia. This stuff has good citrus.
