On another forum, we are paying tribute to the late Doug Erwin, and I am smoking his tobacco of choice in a cob he made: year 2012 Carter Hall in a 2013 quarter bend 5th Avenue Doug Erwin nose warmer cob with a black vulcanite saddle stem. RIP, Doug. You did a lot of good, hard work for the betterment of your fellow pipe smokers.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, two tuna steaks and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of SWRA in a straight, black sandblasted undated Comoy’s Sunrise Etched Grain straight apple 551 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. First time smoking this pipe. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

61° with a forecast of 80 today. I guess we should've assumed we'd slingshot into summer. Kept it simple this morning with a MM Legend cob and Stokkebye 41 cube cut. The cob is ghosted with Big N' Burley, and I didn't care for it this morning. Oh well, live to fight another day.

By the way, when people describe Big N' Burley, I'm at a total loss. When I received my first order years ago, it didn't look anything like the pictures. I thought they sent the wrong tobacco, so they sent a replacement. Nope. Same tobacco the second time. I taste zero perique, zero latakia, and absolutely NOT sweet in any way. I'm not sure about the Turkish. I taste it as very close to cigar leaf, and the aftertaste and room note are similar to cigar too. Not exactly like cigar, but that's the closest flavor I can come up with to describe it. Dry on the tongue like a cigar, too. A very one-note tobacco. A unique flavor, but no complexity to it at all inasmuch as other recognizable flavors. I'm still wondering if I've tasted Big N' Burley, and if not, what in the heck is this stuff that I have? And as I say, this stuff ghosts a pipe like no other tobacco I've personally had.

Followed by a set of walking reps on this warm, sunny, day and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Had a lot to take care of early today.
