My last smoke this evening is a relaxing but somewhat bitey (hey, it's a Peterson aro) Holiday Season 2013, in the Savinelli Tortuga 804 ks canadian. (Btw, the Balkan Beauty in that large Hercules lasted me all day! This is a rare two-bowl day for me.)  |

Busy day today. Had a morning "Polar Bear" ride with the Goldwing club. 4 bikes followed by 6 cars. Some other bikes met us at the restaurant, but they lived much closer. It was 30 when we pulled out. One rider could make it and his wife had to ride his bike home. Altogether, 13 bikes and 47 people. Then came home and wrapped the water pipes and started cooking the traditional New Years meal of pess, cabbage, and cornbread.
Just finished a bowl of Classic Burley Kake in a Savinelli Nonpareil bent billiard with flavored water on the side.
Happy New Years to all!

Just had an MM Great dane Egg bent of Five Brothers by mistake. Thought the cob was loaded with something else. Now I’m going to open this 2004 tin of House of Windsor Hines Mixture T426. “The culmination of over 150 years of Master blending experience, combined into one fantastic smoking tobacco. Marring red & Bright Virginias, Burleys, and a black fire cured cavendish with a secret Coconilla Flavoring, makes this a great all day smoke with a wonderful room aroma.” I assume they meant “marrying,” not “marring.” I left the typo and odd capitalizations in from the tin description. Going to open it now and stuff it into my Leonessa Briosa slight bent rusticated apple.   It’s gotten frosty wih age and still has a bit of moisture. It smells of an absolutely intoxicating coconut/vanilla liquor. Smells boozy but tropical and like a toasty sweet dessert. Never smelled a pipe tobacco like it. The underlying blend does taste familiar but with a unique flavor for sure. I think this has readily improved with the 14 years of age and that I would not mind it fresh if it were still made. |

That blends sounds excellent. Enjoy your smokes from that tin. |
