Started the morning at 4:00 am with a bowl of Haunted Bookshop in a Savinelli Silver billiard. Now am smoking a Padilla cigar.

I haven't posted a thing here in weeks due to a case of carpal tunnel in both my hands, which drives me nuts (short trip). Luckily, I have an appointment with a hand surgeon next week, and I'm hoping he can start me on the road to eliminating this torture.
I'm not experienced enough to comment on tobacco selections, but I'm partial to English blends. This morning I'm smoking two blends from my local B&M in an MM cob and a Savinelli 512KS pot.
I enjoy reading your posts and hope to be a lot more involved in the future.
 
Early evening here....raining (what else is new)...
1967 Dunhill 587 (sometimes erroneously referred to as a Dunhill 537) Shell, Group 4.
One of my favorite Dunhill shapes.
Its basically a stacked billiard....and runs around 5 3/4 inches in length, with a 2" inch tall bowl.
I'm a burley smoker.
Picked up a pouch of "Georgetown Tobacco 1261" on a recent trip to DC.
Every once in a while, I want something a bit sweeter than my usual SWR or PA.
This straight burley has some topping that adds a touch of sugar to the taste, without being chemical.
Its worth a try...and I will definitely require visitors to our abode to bring me some more.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Just fed Suzy and Molly, who were waiting for me to get moving today. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave were just as anticipatory.

I took an MM Rob Roy with GLP Kensington for the ride which included a stop at Michael's craft store for leather (cob) dye and while I was at Walmart I found a box of drill bits with enough x/64 to fit Forever Stems on multiple pipes. I'm enjoying a Morgan I just drilled for a Forever Stem filled with G&H Balkan Mixture.
 
Enjoyed nine slices of cinnamon raisin French toast, a navel orange, some unsalted peanuts, and two slices of cheese pizza for lunch. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink. I'm not far from finishing the last of this eight ounce can of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

Now smoking KBV aro beta test in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Writing beta notes on this blend. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Half way through this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin with a black vulcanite saddle stem. A well deserved nap follows this smoke.

The last smoke of the day for me, Bari Wiking extra long bent Rhodesian with Russ pirates cove and a decaf k-cup.
My boss`s wife called me earlier today and asked if I would help her. She has the State inspectors from the board of health coming in on Monday to inspect the catering hall.She knows they are in big trouble! I wanted to say no,but she`s a good woman that married an idiot,So I could not say no. I have called the clean up crew and we are going in there tomorrow to clean everything before Monday. I know her husband has treated me poorly in the past,but she has always defended me and made it up to me.
