Just back from riding Cochise for a couple of hours. Trying to sneak in a quick bowl before my PT appt. Then off to the legion for a memorial for one of our riders who died from covid before Xmas. Rattray's Jock's Mixture in a vintage Stanwell Roma straight billiard. Earl Gray tea aside. Spotted this young bald eagle leaving the ranch.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steelhead trout and sugar snap peas dinner with a small scoop of strawberry ice cream for dessert.

Stanwell with Stokkebye 41 cube. Something came up while half way through the bowl and knocked me out of the calm zone. I felt rushed. Eh, there's always the next one.
 
Dan Tobacco Salty Dog in a Boswell. It’s really good. The plug is moist and dense, I sliced off a flake and
Broke it up, rubbing it out wasn’t easy since it was almost sticky, so I just cut it up. I was worried that I didn’t let it dry enough - only a few minutes, but it is smoking fine with only an occasional relight needed. The run isn’t very noticeable, and the perique isn’t very spicy, but this is a very smooth, enjoyable tobacco. Natural sweetness. Room note (it’s so cold I’m smoking in the garage instead of my usual front porch spot) seems quite pleasant.
