I’m in the process of smoking through my experimental PS81 mini batches again, but in different pipes than usual to check them out again and see if they show up any differently.
Right now I’m smoking one with 3% Tennessee Dark Fire Cured in a BC calabash. It’s quite a bit different than in the smaller bowls I smoked it in before. Previously I was rather indifferent about it, but right now I’m really enjoying it.

Friar's Bayou in the barrel-shaped meerschaum on the front porch. Aside from people walking their dogs, nothing else going on. A very comfortable 75 degrees, humidity has dropped and a nice breeze to boot.

Good morning! It's a perfect day to be on the mend from a week long of migraines and illness. The temperature is at 73 this morning with a gentle rain. It was the perfect day to enjoy a couple of bowls of tobacco on the front porch. Literally no traffic. The only thing happening is a yard full of robins and barn swallows flying above. Enjoyed a bowl of Carter Hall and another of Peretti Whiskey Cavendish, both in my Sav 320. Now I'm inside watching a few youtube videos and seasoning a 12" Lodge cast iron pan. Hope everyone is having a pleasant day! Great post ,Jack...I hope the end of the day finds you much improved, and the cast iron also.  |

Good Morning! It's 64° with a clear sky here at dawn. No errands to run this afternoon so I'll finish up the laundry. Starting the smoking day with a bowl of HH Pure VA Flake in the Peterson Rosslare 106 smooth billiard and there's a fresh travel mugga coffee on the workshop tobacco table. Have a good one everybody!

Good morning, I’m smoking a bowl of Natural Virginia and Burley in a Dunhill Shell Briar. As predicted, the storms last night moved the hot and humid air mass out of the neighborhood and things seem a little less stifling today. Hope you all have a good one.

Christmas Cheer 07 in my Ron Powell Rhodesian, coffee on the side. I love McClelland Virginias. My oldest Christmas Cheer is 2015, and I’ve been waiting for the 10 year mark to open it. How is your 07 version smoking? |

Another great start to a north Georgia summer morning. Any morning in July that starts in the 70s is okay in my book. I sat out on the front porch this morning and started with a bowl of Boswell's Sweet Dreams followed by a much better bowl of Carter Hall. Sweet Dreams is a bit of a cherry overload for me. Smoked both bowls from my Peterson Jekyll and Hyde (01). Of course I had black coffee, as usual. It is a quiet morning in the neighborhood, mostly spent observing the bees on my wife's flower bed. Traffic was my neighbor on his old faded John Deere tractor hauling hay from one field to the other. Hope everyone has a day filled with blessings.

Happy Thursday! Started the day with a couple bowls of Haunted Bookshop in the Thursday cob and coffee on the back porch. It's 67 and sunny here, only going up to 73. Yardwork is on my schedule today.

Christmas Cheer 07 in my Ron Powell Rhodesian, coffee on the side. I love McClelland Virginias. My oldest Christmas Cheer is 2015, and I’ve been waiting for the 10 year mark to open it. How is your 07 version smoking? I'm glad you asked...last night I removed a few flakes and chunks from the jar, and proceeded to break em down: no fold & stuff for me, my flakes wind up looking like cube cut, that way all those layers of flavor blast me at one instant. The flakes are dark and almost oily, and as I work with them, beef jerky comes to mind, not just from texture, but aroma also, and I'm reminded of the old Open Pit bar-B-que sauce aroma...at this point I remember thinking I get as much enjoyment from prepping this tobacco as I do smoking it, as I just hovered over the table and let the aroma drift up my nose...some folks hate that sour tomatoish smell, but it makes my mouth water! I used an old business card to scoop up the little cubes, and fill the two pipes last night, it's the best way I know to use a business card, just gravity filling each pipe, tapping on the outside as I went, to settle the cubes... Now filled I added a light press of my thumb, and ran a wood kitchen match across the surface, tamped and fired it again...my reward was that little chill where the hair on your forearm stands up, and I thought of all the " first times " McCelland tobaccos have given me. first taste of Blackwoods flake, first taste of Virginias 24, 25 and 27, of St James Woods and indeed. Christmas Cheer... I said to the wife, across the table at her sewing machine, " this is why I smoke a pipe ", and the look she returned was that of a mother watching her child try strawberry ice cream for the first time, like I was charming but a bit silly... Now, I am a bit charming and a bit silly too, but I can tell you that the flavor from that pipe was all Virginias should be, grassy and bready, and layored with aged spices and dark fruits that can't be had in todays world...the stuff is just blissful, Dan, just blissful! |

Thanks for this description, sounds blissful indeed! I took up the pipe in 2015, and one of the first tobaccos I bought was Christmas Cheer. Had I known the future I’d have bought much more! Late last summer I opened a tin of Blackwoods and was just blown away with the quality of that tobacco. I have a small stash of McClelland, I’ll need to open another tin of something or other this fall. Thanks again! |

Good Afternoon! It's 76° with a mix of clouds, blue sky, and sunshine out here on the deck. What a nice day and a welcome break from the Summer's heat and humidity. Currently smoking a bowl of Scottish Flake in the Stanwell Silver Mount blasted billiard and there's some leftover coffee in the mug.
