About half way through this bowl of year 2016 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.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am 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. Larry's El Salvador Dali, neat, is my drink. Time to clean a few pipes.

Due to some recent ennui, I decided to try a run of most of the gamut of the Sutliff, C&D, and Lane bulk Aromatics. Just tried over 20 of them in succession in an AKB panel horn meer, and the reason I was able to do this, is that I wasnt able to keep any blend in the bowl longer than 5 minutes.

I already knew most aromatics weren't for me, but after throwing $100 at the issue, now I truly KNOW.. they aren't for me. In a way it was almost worth it. The mind works in mysterious ways.

Now smoking Ennerdale Flake in a Vauen quarter bent billiard. First time trying, and I can say unequivocally that I'm in love with this stuff. My only regret is not trying Lakelands sooner.

And for some reason, the Virginias from GH&Co don't bother my sensitive palate nearly as much as Virginias from most other sources. Very glad I took a chance on this tobacco.

Passing the half way mark on this bowl of Sutliff Presbyterian Ordained in a straight smooth brown 2017 unbranded Upshall Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

61° and windy today. Enjoyed a bit of GH&Co. Scotch Flake in a MM Diplomat Apple. Then I was informed of some family drama I’d be going home to, so I loaded up the MM Southport Ferryman with GH&Co. Dark Plug for some extra equanimity and contemplation. Being a dad of three grown daughters is an adventure! 😂.
