Day 2 of Spring Break! Another nice morning on the deck, once again enjoying some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug, this time in a Bertram 125. Like Balisong, I’m also sipping some Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee on the side. On the Bluetooth speaker it’s Mike Davis’ “Miles Smiles”.
Off work for 5 days for Spring Break, and enjoying a beautiful morning out on the deck with some GH Dark Plug in a Charatan’s Make Authentic. Had purchased a sizable amount of well aged Dark Plug from a Brother awhile back, and just got around to slicing off a couple of pieces to enjoy. For me...
Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake scented in a Savinelli bent made for and purchased at Main Street Cigar in Bel Air, MD. This was one of the first pipes I ever purchased in 2009 when I started smoking.
It’s 2010 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Caminetto Business shape 137. I haven’t been on all week, as my cat and best pal of 12.5 yrs Watson passed last Friday at the age of 16. It has been a rough week, and our house feels empty without him. He was a big fan of coming out on the deck...
Happy Friday! More Watch City Simply VOriental in a big Estella 115 EX. Can’t get enough of this blend these days! Liked it when it came out last year, but LOVE it now that it has sat in a jar for almost a year. For me, it is a perfect blend for the Fall, and I have a feeling this jar won’t last...
Friday Eve, enjoying some 2020 Watch City Simply Voriental in a Savinelli Estella 316 EX. Just 1 yr of sitting in a jar has improved an already great blend! I feel like the Macedonian Prilep is much more pronounced now, and the Virginia’s have a deeper, “bass” note to them! Delicious!
A cold Monday morning starting off with some 2013 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake with a little 2010 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented that accidentally got mixed in (don’t ask!). The nutty, chocolate notes from the BBF combined with the cigar notes from the DFU almost gives this a Maduro...
Starting out Friday with a bang with some 2010 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Missouri Meerschaum 150th anniversary “bully” cob with a blue lucite stem.
Relaxing on the deck enjoying a freshly popped jar of 2010 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a GBD Conquest Pedigree. A little less spice than other DFU vintages I’ve had, but that creamy cigar like note from the Indian dark air cured is extra prominent this time around and I am loving it...
More 2013 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake in a Savinelli Estella 316 EX. Finishing up this jar in the next couple of days and then will open either a jar of 2010 Full Virginia Flake or an old jar of Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented. Hell, I may just open both up lol!
Happy Friday! 2013 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake in a Caminetto Business shape 137. Already have a cigar and a beer picked out for the deck this evening!
