Peterson 3P's in a green, rusticated bent Dublin. First pipe I carved. Must've been around this time of year, given the color. Silly looking.  |

thanx again, Sil, Herb & all for the kind condolences. Her "boys" showed recently, just going here/there taking notes, so pics & getting organized. If one could come here & actually see it all, they would understand, it's massive sort out. They both IT guys, very organized & know enuf stay outa their way. So off the usual mid-afternoon... Tea at desk, BB1938 in LaughingBacchus meer in smoking room. Nap next, then probably sups at Nan/me local diner (not fish frys till Fri)! it's great comfort having all of ya "in my corner" all the time. If all goes acording to plan, will be at the chats later Ed Duncan, Batavia, NY gots 'em, smokes 'em since '62 I’d like to offer condolences as well Ed, here if you need some support |

2015 Shandygaff in a Dr Grabow Viking.
Sutliff VA Perique in a Mark Twain cob.
Was out trail hiking today for nearly five hours and brought along G.L. Pease Windjammer and a Falcon but I never stopped to have a smoke the entire time. Never stopped to read my book, either.

Thoughts on Shandygaff? I've heard it described as "oddly salty." Been curious about that one , too. Ginger and salt. Hmm... I can imagine a ginger-infused smoke, I think. Salty smoke is a bit of a puzzler for me. Just thinking about something like smoking a salty meat for dinner, I can't really remember that ever smelling salty, so I'm a bit perplexed by the idea of smoke that tastes salty. |

Pease Windjammer and a Falcon but I never stopped to have a smoke the entire time. Never stopped to read my book, either. Thoughts on Shandygaff? I've heard it described as "oddly salty." First think a C&D burley-forward mixture. Then consider that it's just burley, Oriental, and Perique. There is no Virginia in the mix. I like it quite a bit but it can be a strong mixture profile for most. Silver will love it for sure, without a doubt. It's like Big 'n' Burley or Riverboat Gambler but more mild in nicotine than those two. Some have said it's cased with ginger, or that it's salty but I only find that it's a natural flavor combination coming from the odd mixture of these three varietals. At times and more when it's fresh, I've noticed what is reportedly a faint ginger but so faint that you can't really tell if the Oriental leaf and perique are just playing tricks on you. Edited to add: And yes, it's very easy to distinguish it as being "salty and savory" in a sense, this is what smoking Oriental and Perique together taste like. Add the burley and it's really more of a rich, potent, savory flavor but the saltiness is prevalent in a sense of those natural tobacco flavors melding. It doesn't taste like salt is added to it in my opinion.

In from full walks, no-band 5x50 for company. After the Ed is fed, Apertif in Caminetto "Business" full bent & continue with the papers. Much continues to get done after her sons get here.
Happy TGIF to those affected.

Newminster 701 Virginia in a Legend. I'll have to dip into my Shandygaff later. I don't get the ginger, but it is savory and goes well with ginger beer.
