What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

My first fill of 2019 was Patriot Flake. Then I pried off the lid of a 3 yo tin of Escudo — puffing that now. Starting the year in style.

Happy New Year to all of you good folks!

I tend to roll it into a loose musket ball, and stack up two on top of each other. Usually works pretty well.

This low-slung fellow corners very nicely. It’s my Italian sports pipe!

Still working through the last bit of 2015 PS Luxury Bullseye, still in the old KBB meerschaum.

A little Bobs Chocolate Flake in an old Grabow, Crown Duke with a blue spade marking.

Puffing Hamborger Veermaster in my Tinsky billiard. Very good, it is. Going forward, I think Dan Tobacco will be my principal source of Virginias. Hamborger Veermaster, Patriot Flake, and The Mallard. I have a ton of various STG Virginias in stock though.

Mixing things up today with some 2015 PS Lux Bullseye in the same old meer... 😁

A cool day with a cold drizzle here in San Diego. A pipe of good tobacco and coffee brightens things up a bit. Also a small slice of Colin Street Bakery fruitcake that my brother and SIL send to me every Christmas. It got even better when I moistened it with a bit of good whiskey.

Puffing Wessex Classic Virginia in my Kirsten Mariner.

Puffing Patriot Flake (Dan Tobacco) in my Kirsten. It’s a superb tobacco, but especially delicious this morning.
