What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Earlier, tried a 50/50 blend of Five Brothers and Carter Hall, and it was terrible. I expected them to be somehow compatible, but no. Dumped it out halfway. Then filled my bowl with SWR + 25% Latakia, and that was really nice. If you've got some blending lat, it's worth a try.

A couple minutes from smoking HU Balkan Passion in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls. Have enough left for a bowl.

FVF. I think I've got my pipe jitters on the run. I loaded the bowl last night and let it dry all day in the bowl, and the smoking is going fine. You'd think I'd remember that trick.

I just used that trick on some Solani Aged Burley Flake. Granted not for an entire night.

First run with this stuff...so far it is a lot lighter than I expected it would be. Hoping it kicks up a notch in flavor as it progresses.

Just finished smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1978 smooth full bend Dr. Grabow Omega. Next is Chatham Manor in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot.

Done with the Aged Burley Flake.

Moving on now to some Dunhill Durbar 2014 release in a 1940s Custombilt

Gave up on trying to sleep, so I'm smoking McClelland Master Penman in a 2003 IMP horn Meer. Have just enough left for one more bowl.

As I smoke my first bowl of the day, the 4Dot and RY, I am presented with a new Humira commercial. Okay, what's with the pronunciation? Presented with the word "humira" and asked for possible pronunciations, I would start with the obvious -eye-ruh, -ee-ruh, and -ear-uh, and the three first syllables as hoom-, humm-, or hyume-. Since I can't come up with any use in English, German, Italian, Spanish, or Greek where the letter "i" is pronounced like the "e" in "err", I would have gotten it wrong. I've heard a few of these Humira commercials, mainly when I can't get to the remote in time, but they consistently pronounce it "Hyume-erra". All I can figure is that all of the announcers used in the commercial are from Syracuse, a small city in Central New York where they pronounce the city's name Sarah-cuse.
