Dunhill Royal Yacht in a MM Diplomat. Been a long time since since I've opened a tin of this and I forgot just how nice it is. Just a lovely, mild, relaxing smoke.
Today was the Mondayest of Tuesdays!
When I got home I had a nice bowl of Blackwoods Flake.

What? You say that he was a despotic, genocidal Communist dictator? Well, true, but you can't disregard his esthetic judgements on those grounds alone. His condemnation of Shostakovich's "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District" was spot on.
Edit: The RY tin label looks like it might be the label to a tobacco named Chinese Fire Drill.

Hey, fellas. 24 out of the last 29 posts have been mine. I think that is way too many. I have seen some guys "liking" my posts, and they are not posting themselves. This is extremely discouraging to me. I know I have played this tune before, but I need the fun of seeing your posts much more than seeing too durn many of mine, which is not fun for me. So, I'll take a break from this. See you later.
Sorry @JimInks ,Just been a bit lazy on posting.No excuse,and I will try to improve.I am at the moment enjoying some LL
Dark Red in a Bruce Peters straight pot.Man I like this stuff,light and flavorful,the only improvement I would make is
a couple fingers of bourbon.
This evening I am having a bowl of Skandinavik Full Aroma in my Extra large Savinelli 606 bent.:pipe: I am starting out a little earlier for my evening pipe because I was so busy this afternoon that I missed my afternoon cigar.:blue: I have not smoked the Skandinavik in more than 3 years; when I went to my stash I saw the tin but ignored it which is bad because I have enjoyed this tobacco in the past.:blockhead: This evening I decided to grab the tin and see if it was all Dried out, but it had the right amount of moisture to make this smoke enjoyable. I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew while listening to Dave Brubeck playing "Take Five".:beerchug:
