Bad day for us both, Pete. You're fighting off a bug and I'm on my back in bed from spinal arthritis pain. This damp, cold weather is k8lling me. No bueno, Russ. Anything help at all (other than lying still)? Just celebrex, an NSAID, but when conditions are right, nothing helps except lying in bed. Thanks for asking.

I have some idea what that's like. Hope it improves soon. I'm having some Kendal Creme Flake in a Radice Rind apple:

2020 Opening Night Flake in a Kaywoodie Saxon sandblasted panel billiard.
Russ, I hope your back pain clears up. Urb, hopefully the nicotine kills the bug.

Oh I think it was Silver who was sick, not Urb. Hope you’re feeling better tomorrow, Pete.

No! By all means, keep those well wishes! Hopefully you guys are all feeling better tomorrow. I had it again a couple weeks back with the full on flu.

After-dinner smoke time, Silver Strike in the Thursday cob. This blend has plenty of dark Burley for punch and Izmir and Perique for a spicy tang.

Watch City Santa’s Sack in a meerschaum billiard. Ernie Q’s most fun Christmas blend to date that I’ve tried.

Frog Morton On the Town in a Savinelli 177...the numbers on the tub base say 460106...I take this to mean, lot or batch 4, June 1-06...for years I've rolled the tin around in my hands like some greedy old madman fondling his coins. At last I came to realize that the tobacco will bring me far more pleasure than the hundred or so dollars it might bring, and while a hundred bucks would be gone in a blink, let me tell you that the third puff on this bowl sent cold chills up the back of my arms. Ahhhhhh, the good life!!!

Ahhhhhh, the good life!!! Absolutely the way to think of it. I wouldn’t sell any of my meager McClelland stash for even triple the going rate, but I’ll smoke them all and share them with friends. I can always make money. I can’t make more 15-20 year old McClelland’s.

Ahhhhhh, the good life!!! For the code, all you really say is 2006. That 601 has nothing to do with June 1. Mike and Mary only marked the year of production. Something like 2 digits for blend number, 2 digits for batch that year, 2 digits for year.

Seems that my tastebuds are a bit off with this cold I've got. Burley, especially, isn't tasting right. So, I'll go with Cringle Flake 2022 in a self-made, freehand Dublin.
