Condor ready rubbed (like smoking a my granny's bathroom or a barber shop!) last night. An interesting and enjoyable experience.
Peterson Irish Whiskey this morning.
You may have noticed I'm on a bit of a binge, of late. I'm almost halfway through my turn on a box pass of pipe tobacco (unrelated to cigarbum).
My tongue is, miraculously, holding up to the task. My TAD list may never be manageable or fulfilled!
Half & Half in a Redonian army-mount billiard
Smoking a bowl of Gawith & Hoggarth's Bob's Chocolate Flake in a Hendon billiard.
Tonight's choice is some McClelland 5100 in a cob.
H&H Lakeland Brickle
Semois
G&H Dark Flake Licorice
St. Bruno Ready Rubbed
Edward G. Robinson pipe blend
McClelland Red and Black in my pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock.
I never thought anything would ever take the place of Samuel Gawith FVF as my favorite Virginia, but this is quickly approaching it.
Man it's good.
If you're a Virginia lover, you really need to try this one.
Some Old Dog in a cob while changing the oil.
More McClelland Red and Black.
Can't get enough of this stuff.
A half bowl of Frog Morton's Cellar in a MM cob
A tiny slice of Velvan Plug this morning.
Puffing my once-a-week fill of FVF. It was cellared in March '07, so almost exactly ten years of age on it. Very savory! Then off to Kaiserhof, my favorite San Diego restaurant, where I'll likely have the jäger schnitzel. And hoping for split pea soup. It's the best that I've ever had -- better than Andersen's in Buellton, CA. Then off to the pistol range, where I'll shoot my Beretta 87 Target (.22 LR). Sunday is a good day for me!
Got to try a bowl of GLP Renaissance Reserve. It was pretty nice.
Those of you that nabbed some should not be disappointed.
Also tried a bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Omak Stampede. Also pretty good, but a much lighter English, with a bit more sweetness.
Will do!Quote:

Having some @Haebar Navy Flake. Excellent flavor!
Samuel Gawith Cabbies Mixture
SPC Deception Pass
Both good, but don't knock my favorite vapers off the top of my list.
I have both in my cellar, and will let them continue to age, to see how they develop.
Now having some lovely Newminster #6 Vanilla Delight, part of Tobias' bulk sell-off from a few weeks ago.
Rattray's Black Mallory in a Canterbury lovat
Having my 2nd bowl of McClelland Red and Black of the day.
1st bowl was in an unfinished Savinelli Series III.
This one is in my Savinelli Punto Oro Mr. G.
Smoking a bowl of SG Best Brown Flake in a Sunrise Amber Grain Dublin. Last night I had a bowl of Ennerdale Flake in a Hendon billiard.
Smoking Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake, the best durned burley ever made. Nespresso Roma is my drink.
Nat Sherman 536 in a new Savinelli Ginger's Favorite rusticated billiard that finally showed up from the P&C debacle last week. This is a nice, sweet, mild to medium English blend. Actually I'd label it a Scottish blend myself since it apparently contains a bit of Cavendish. I usually don't go for Cavendish in a blend but this is good. Maybe it's a Virginia based Cavendish or something.
Smoking a bowl of @Bruck Navy Flake in a chubby Guildhall billiard.
Smoker's Haven Exotique and Our Best Blend.
Milan Tobacconists Black Forest in a MM cob
McClelland Coyote Classic (5125)
Boswell Northwoods
Smoking a bowl of homemade burley flake in a Willard pot.

Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in an old Dr. Grabow.
Having a dose of SPC Mississippi River in my old Kaywoodie Flame Grain......

How are you mixing the red & black, or are you going separate?....Quote:

I'm enjoying a bowl right now in my London made Ben Wade apple shape.
Thank you sir. I'll check out the video.....Quote:

Tobacco wise, so far today it's been:
Old Dark Fired
Orlik Golden Sliced
Vintage Syrian
Just prepared some Anniv. Kake for my after dinner smoke and will be preparing some Triple Play after that.
Had some P&C MATCH Elizabethan on my lunch break.
Now I'm enjoying a bowl of McClelland Blackwoods Flake.
Now having a bowl of one of my all time favorites, SG St. James Flake in my pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock.
I don't know how long this stuff has sat in the tin but it has a lot of sugar crystals on the surface and tastes sublime.
That is indeed a nice flake, I have about 2lbs in my cellar ATM and always a tin ready to open when the urge hits.Quote:

The black is definitely smoother than the brown but the flavor and ash are totally different; the black has an almost used-motor-oily taste to it. Probably would be an ideal smoke for working on an old beater car...
Been a while since I had a bowl. Between a pulled muscle and a seperated rib,
I haven't been quite up to snuff. So today I felt like something a bit different,
dug out a pouch of MM Great Dane and loaded my figural meer. While digging
around I came across a small pouch of Tamboluka, guess what's next,,,,,,,, :triumphant:
