Makes me want to pop the ton of Rattrays Red Rapparee that I've been aging for almost 4 years now.

Dunhill Durbar gifted by Brunello in a Studio full bent, also acquired from Brunello in a trade..i like this much better than Dun 965. However, i found Brunellos own Darth Vatur blend just as satisfying, maybe even a bit smoother and richer. Our esteemed Jiminks noted this as a good after dinner...

With a leisurely morning and nothing on the calendar was able to sneak in a third bowl before breakfast. Rivendell in a Karl Erik hand carved straight grain Dublin. This pipe had a small split in the bit when I acquired it. The seller did note it but didn't look bad so took a chance. After I got...

Reminds me of a story told to me by a WW II vet. He had lost his right index finger in a farming accident. At the outbreak of the war he went down to enlist in the marines. At his physical, the doc rejected him because he did not have a " trigger finger". A month later he got his draft notice...

Rewatched John Wayne in The Cowboys. Must have seen it 50 times but never get tired of it.

Like all of them, but for me the second one rocks. Just hope I can get one someday,,lol.

McB HH Burley Flake in a Vauen full bent brandy. 2nd breakfast was good but needed a bit more kick from the second bowl.

Expanding my foray into CS tobaccos. Second Breakfast in a Design Berlin. Should call it first breakfast as I haven't eaten yet. Very smooth, not as much taste as Choctaw but a pleasant smoke a la CH.

3Ps? Don't know that one.

I liked it. Same smoothness as Cherokee but with more tobacco taste. But yes, hard to beat Figgy Pudding. Wish it were available year round. Maybe if we got everyone to request it??

First try of CS Choctaw in a Pete system B42.. Good stuff. Better than Cherokee with more pure tobacco taste. Great with coffee..

CS Parson's blend in a Pete Rosslare with winter blend coffee. Got this to see if the wife would like the room note well enough to let me smoke it in the house. Wouldn't you know it, her sinuses are so plugged up this am she can't smell anything,,lol. Have to try another day.

Arango balkan supreme in a Don Carlos. Not BSOSM but dang good.

Good to hear from you Sid. How goes the resistance?

Jim, does the ERR match smoke better in a briar than a cob?

Because of all the hype, I've been wanting to try Edgeworth ready rubbed match. Finally scored some with my last TAD order. Smoking it now in a MM Diplomat 5th ave. Don't get the hype. Not bad but not the best by a stretch, pretty bland. Certainly won't replace CH or SWR as my go to codger blends.

If you have room get a small garden shed with lots of windows, and fix it up as sort of a man cave. Comfy chair or recliner, nice stereo, etc. Tuff shed makes a couple like that.

Oh boy, that sucks. But look on the bright side, at least your not in TX.

Started the day with Rivendell in a Design Berlin bent pot. Now into McB HH burley flake in an Aldo Velani 2012 POTY 1/4 bent dublin straight grain. French vanilla coffee on the side. Bright and sunny. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood..

Finally back home. Was able to have a nice bowl of Benediction in a Maestro de Paya bent rhodesian after dinner.
