There's nothing wrong with that kind of talk. I started the day with an '06 Short Bolivar Asia Pacifico. Now I'm having a GBD 269 full of Engine 99.

Pup is almost exactly 7 dog years old. Far too young for pipes.

Going out to brave the cold. Snow actually stuck to the ground today. Hail stuck, too. I'm not ready for the change.

Loading half a Missouri Meerschaum bowl of Erinmore crumbs from the remainder of a tin marked October 2008. At least I think. Maybe, when I go to my temporary pipe workstation, I'll decide on Paul Olsen's B93 from a tin that's marked either - I forget - '99 or '01.

I certainly need to do that.
I'm trying to slowly build up a cellar of pipe tobacco. I've got some SJF from the inaugural group buy we did when the Bum first got started, a little bit of straight VA tobacco and a little English stuck back. If I could stop buying cigars, I'd be able to build a cellar faster.

More importantly, Walnut-Walnut might be coming back to the States with Bruno?

!!!!!!!!!

2016 is shaping up to be a hallmark year! Now if only Condor, Warrior Plug, and Punchbowle would get on a boat and float over...



Cool cool! See, I'm much too lazy to read through descriptions of bulk tobaccos to see if they're meant to be a match. You did the work for me. Thanks!

If you want the Middleton Walnut Match, then you must try P&C's Mid-Town Chestnut. It virtually is Walnut. Go to Tobaccos Reviews and read mine. I was the taste tester for the Mid-Town series, and they did their best job on the hardest one to match: Walnut.


Now smoking HU Asmara in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic stem.

Bob's Chocolate Flake in my Hardcastle billiard. Not sure I'm getting a lot of chocolate, or latakia for that matter, but this sure is nice stuff.

Just finished a bowl of PS Lux Navy Flake in my DG Savoy, I rubbed it out this time but packed it a bit tight.Little bit of tongue bite but otherwise a good smoke on a cool evening.

I'm working on the same thing! Except I've managed to put a halt to the cigar purchasing.
I do need to put up a couple more boxes of FVF... and St. James flake... and Navy flake (not to mention a lot more that I'd like to store up)

Little by little, we'll get there!

Part way through this bowl of the wonderfully delicious Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog.

I just finished a bowl of Smoky's Blend from Smoky's Tobacco and Cigars in a Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman.
