    Mortice and Tenons

    I feel you, all my Meers have that problem. That is why I stopped buying them. Maybe I'll look into these replacements, good to know.

    Here I am sitting this evening updating my master database before retiring. And in logging the 2 oz purchase of this, the wonderful Old Dominion, made me realize I really need to stop screwing around and buy this fine tobacco in larger amounts. Smoking my Bing.

    Frightening wisdom.

    And then he puffed on his pipeful of Revelation. Very gifted in technical wisdom and plain old common-sense he was.

    Talk to me about English blends

    What is actually an English versus a Balkan versus a Scottish has gotten so diluted that it is simpler to say the when you hear "English", at least now a days, is that the blend contains Latakia. It is not what was the original branding entailed. I am an avid "English" smoker and I will tell...

    Just woke up from an afternoon nap. A year’s end extended PTO, and the eighth day of restfulness to get right back into the crap for 2024. December 2027 cannot come fast enough. Restocked the active rotational jar of Hal O’ The Wynd and am trying one of those weirdo organic teas that my oldest...

    Of all the money that ever I had I spent it in good company And of all the harm that ever I done Alas! It was to none but me And all I’ve done for want of wit To memory now, I can’t recall So fill to me the parting bowl Goodnight, and joy be with you all What sorrows one finds in the parting...

    Start of a busy day, an encounter with some Old Gowrie. The flavorsomeness is starting to progress more deeply and I am loving it!

    Nothing fancy tonight. Just finishing up a commentary on a different Cornell & Diehl blend, so I thought to myself, let’s just keep it in the family, shall we. So, a right tasty sitting with Mr. Billy Budd Blonde in one of my dependable CGs makes perfectly good sense.

    Well, it is now 3:24 pm. I am pleased to report that the day’s meetings are all nicely completed. Seeing that I am on PTO starting tomorrow, why not get ahead of the game I’m thinking. Makes absolutely perfect sense, right? A little straight-up Virginian sweetness to enliven this fine November...

    Finishing the evening listening to this week’s P&C podcast while indulging a Baraccini Bent Dublin filled with 507C. Because the fridge is too full in preparation for the coming TDay feast, I couldn’t grab the 12-pack of my favorite seasonal brew, Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter. So, I...

    Figgy Pudding Available

    Oh really, wonder what's up? I'll ask and see what they tell me. That Polar X Press looks interesting though. Never had it, I generally just grab the Figgy Pudding and Cordial Friends. Still have some of the latter left from last year.

    Figgy Pudding Available

    Wow seems earlier but I guess it is November. A Xmas classic as well as Cordial Friends which I think is just a tad better. Thanks for the heads up!

    Indulging in a delightful bowl of the Squire’s Yazoo Witch in a new Baraccini Strattura Ebano 344 that I picked up from P&C for a song. Proving to be a nice little pipe for the money. Yazoo Witch is one nice juiced up VaBur worth the smoking.
