Absolutely gorgeous night in central Arkansas. The rain finally stopped and it is nice and cool out.
Sitting here enjoying a bowl of Dunhill Royal Yacht in my standing Savinelli straight billiard and a glass of cheap ass concord grape wine. I don't know where I get these pairings sometimes but I'm enjoying the hell out of it and I suppose that's what matters.
2011 Villiger Maryland No. 333 in a smooth straight 1980s James Upshall Walnut pot.
House of Calabash Legion of Honor on tap for the morning. The pipe hasn't jumped up yet, but most likely my Tsuge pot. One of them - love the things.

Half way through this bowl of Hayward Mixture in an early 1930s smooth straight Super Grain Kaywoodie Synchrostem Canadian 5129.
Listing this a few minutes early: First Responders in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo craving on the shank.
You think I had a chance to enjoy even half a bowl today? No.
Stupid work.
Now that I'm home I'm having a bowl of the new Edgeworth right now. As soon as it's done I'm right back to working remotely.
Stupid work.
Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.

Lane Burley Light in my favorite meer, which I guess you could say is my favorite pipe.
But it keeps the food burning and lights on the table :)Quote:

And it's helping me go bald faster than genetics! So there's that, I guess!Quote:

Just finished working for the evening. It was in the low 40s through this afternoon, pouring down rain all day. It became extremely windy a few hours ago for a short time, a thunderstorm rolled through, and now it's in the low 60s. Very, very, very weird. I'll take advantage of it by sitting on the porch with a nightcap of Pete's 3P.
^-- the pleasures of retail...
and just keeping on topic, having a meerful of homemade navy flake.
Dunhill Flake in a MM Country Gentleman.
This is my first tin of DF. It's not FVF by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not bad.
Smoked a bowl of Pete's Seminole Red in Pete's Barling whilst strolling along the Ohio River. Only thing missing was Pete. Seminole Red is a tasty English blend. Unfortunately, that's not what I was going for. We have identified what went awry and are furiously reformulating the blend by adding MOAR RED!

2015 Red Ronnett's Sonnett in a 1940s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood #1372 long taper billiard (and small bowl) with Diet Pepsi. The rains have resumed it's unseasonably warm and the Mets are in a hole. Congrats to the Royals.

About a third of the way through this bowl of Rich Dark Flake in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard.
Having a bowl of Tambolaka in an Orlik Captain Black billiard.
Sutliff's Edgeworth match. I asked them for a sample with the last order I placed and it arrived today. I think I'll be ordering this in!
Update on the Red Rap conundrum: the bright floral notes the other day were definitely due to the pipe. I had another bowl earlier today in a taller but skinnier bowl and there wasn't a hint of soap or flower. Still good, very good, but not Nectar of the Gods good.
what a sad crackhead you have become.:(Quote:
