Good Morning and Welcome to February! It's 36° here and damp with the usual cloudy sky. The only thing on the board for this afternoon is a supermarket run. Starting off the new month of pipe smoking with a bowl of fresh HH Pure VA Flake in the Savinelli Venere 128 smooth billiard and there's a fresh travel mugga coffee tucked underneath my jacket. Have a good one everybody!

Good Morning Again! Well, it's warmed up to 37°, damp, and the sky is still cloudy here at first light. I just lit up a bowl of Wessex Brown VA Flake in the Sav smooth billiard. Slowly sipping my coffee and now it's time to check the headline news.

Good morning. I'm having a blast from the past this morning, thanks to turbocat, Half & Half, in my Peterson Sliver-mount XL90...back in the fall of 1976 when I purchased my first house, the old fellow nextdoor smoked H & H every day of his life. A retired Navy vet of W W 2, he never stepped out of his door without a pouch of this tobacco and either a straight cob or an old hickory Canadian.
The usual morning coffee sits nearby.

H & H/ C.H. mix in the Perry Mountain laurel pipe, for the round trip supermarket run. You mean the mountain sperrytops lives on? Nope, from the mountain laurel plant , in the North Carolina mountains. The way I understand it Perry's Grandpa left him a mountain top farm, with Mountain Laurel growing among groves of walnut, maple, cherry and apple. Some of the nicest work I saw on Jerry's table was in applewood, but his pitch of the mountain laurel made me pull the trigger; he said it would last a lifetime , and never grow bitter or sour, nor would it ghost...so far, so good...but it's only been forty years.  |

I’m continuing to smoke Santa’s Sack, I just spent two hours helping my neighbor move a new refrigerator in and the old one out and I don’t have enough energy at the moment to figure out something different to smoke.

Ha. Them things are heavy and unwieldy. I spent a couple of summers delivering appliances and furniture, but I was a youngster then. You guys have to remove handles, doors (fridge or house), etc.? |

Ha. Them things are heavy and unwieldy. I spent a couple of summers delivering appliances and furniture, but I was a youngster then. You guys have to remove handles, doors (fridge or house), etc.? It turned out worse than just removing the refrigerator doors, which we had to do on both. I also ended up having to remove their front door and screen door. Then we found that the new refrigerator is one inch wider than the door to their kitchen, so it’s set up in their living room for now. I promised to come back over on Monday and remove the door casing in the kitchen so we can get it in the rest of the way. Our houses (theirs is identical to mine) are ranch style homes built in 1953. They were not designed with moving things in and out of in mind. |

Smoked some Symphony last night and tonight in a Country Gentleman cob. Finishing some currently while prepping something else to smoke.
The mild tobacco thread made me get a sudden craving for some 2016 GH & Co. Rum Twist. My jar popped with a hiss and the smell is wonderfully pungent rum and fermented flue cured Virginia. The twist is nearly black, like a black twist now. It’s still very moist. I shaved it into tiny razor thin shag and it juiced out on my cutting surface. I’m about to smoke some in an MMC Elite Cadel reverse calabash cob.
