How are you enjoying the CRF? I just ordered their latest release. I'm waiting for delivery today. Being born and raised in Carolina tobacco country. I am looking forward to trying it.
I like it quite a bit. It has aged well by mellowing out, and it seems sweeter. I can have problems with mouth irritation with red Virginias, but not this one.
 
Just finished smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. It's time for some lunch. The rain has finally stopped.

When I went to bed this past morning, I was nearly asleep when I heard cats growling and fighting outside my bedroom window. I got up, and went outside in the rain to see Harry the Hairy intimidating Abner the Eager. I picked Abner up and brought him inside. I dried him off, dried me off, and fed him. He's still inside.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. We've avoided losing power so far, and as far as I know, no tornadoes as our "inaccu"-weather tv station were warning us about. I don't mind them being wrong again. Just fed my cats, and all the ferals except for Harry the Hairy. I'm going to check on him after I post this smoke. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Jim, hope the storm passes you over without damage. According to the last news I heard they said it would turn north and head up into TN.
 
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

@Ranger107 , the storm has finally passed. We didn't lose power nor did we have any damage. We are lucky.

Good evening my friends and fellow BoBs 😊.
Still no smoke for me, as I'm still fighting a really nasty cold. But I wish you all a great weekend
I also noticed a few new members have joined us. @smokeyjay88 @BobbyV welcome guys
Zippo, sorry you're down buddy. Hope you get over it by the time your new socks get there, lol.
 
Listing this early: year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Weather analysis is a great occupation. What other job allows you to be dead wrong 80% of the time and stay employed?

Thank you. Great group here. I appreciate all of the shared experiences and advice.
 
Post-op, I've had this strange skin sensation, akin to how your face feels after the dentist when the Novocaine is about 3/4 worn off, except it's all over my body, and even my tongue is like that a bit. Throws my food taste off, and my pipe enjoyment too. I had my follow up appointment today and told the doctor about it, but he was unfamiliar. I love being an outlier! So I decided to skip the pipe today. We'll see tomorrow.
 
Near the last third of his bowl of year 2014 Strang in a 2003 smooth light brown medium bend straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic saddle stem. Getting set to watch the Braves-Royals game. Going to clean a few pipes now.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke Back Bay w/o perique in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Dublin Sterling Canadian 264 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

SWMBO and I had a Friday afternoon date at Costco!! Wasn't so bad until she wanted me to get new eyeglasses! I did find two really nice frames, one for regular & one for sunglasses. $388 later, I was allowed to check out my other purchases to the tune of $218 Yankee dollars!! I was also allowed to fill up her SUV...that only hit me for about$18 bucks. Dang expensive "date!!"
Did get to enjoy some 2008 BSOSM in an Astley's straight grain 7+" Dublin with a square shank & gently bent stem. Good evening, my fellow BoBs!! FTRPLT
