Finally home after taking a couple of back to back vacations -- two week cruise to Canada and back and a splendid week in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, where I picked up two amazing pipes I will share with you all in the future. Enjoying Dunhill Virginia Flake in my...

Worked a couple of hours in the backyard cleaning up storm damage and it started to rain. Now sitting on the back porch watching the light rain fall while enjoying Dunhill Mixture 965 (aged 5 months...impressed?) in my Castello Sea Rock Briar XXX bent (lovely pipe and a good argument why...

On this last day of the month, this is the last day of my vacation, and the last day of my job. Tomorrow I will be officially retired. After planting ten day lilies as a surprise for my wife, I'm sitting on the back porch marveling at this cool summer so far (obviously I'm not in Death Valley)...

I'm on the back porch watching the storm du jour. At least it cooled off some. Enjoying Bishop's Move from Uhle's in my Standwell Bench Made half bent pipe with a tall iced cold Luzianne tea. I ordered my Bishop's Move and Blend 114 yesterday and it came today. Now that's service, unlike...

I'm on the back porch waiting for the next daily rain storm to come through. Meanwhile I am enjoying Blue Mountain in my Wally Frank Straight Grain. Nice bowl. I'm also enjoying a glass of Iced Luzianne iced tea.

Sitting on the back porch waiting for the storm du jour to come along. Enjoying 3 Oaks Syrian in my Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood 310 TVF.

What a pleasant Sunday on the back porch with sunny skies and warm, but not too humid temperature.  Enjoying Balkan II from Tobacco Exchange, New Orleans, in my K & P Peterson "Irish Made" Systems pipe I bought this April at Tobacco Exchange.  I have a nice refreshing Luzianne Iced Tea on the...

Out on the back porch, a little sticky our here, but otherwise nice.  Enjoying Blue Mountain in my Sasieni Four Dot Root Ruff "Hurlingham," along with a nice tall, cool, iced Luzianne tea.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday with Balkan II, Tobacco Exchange, New Orleans, in my 1947 Dunhill Shell, while grilling up some Salmon.

Taylor of Old Bond Street, http://www.fendrihan.com/taylor-bond-street-shaving-cream-bowl-sandalwood-p-1668.html?cPath=116_10_33 , don't get the stuff in the tube but in the bowl.  Use a pure badger bristle brush to whip the stuff into a great lather.  Great shave every time.
