Now enjoying 15 year old Penzance in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip. Waiting for the Cards - Pirates game at the top of the hour on MLB TV. How is 15 year old Penzance? I ask because I have two tins approximately 10 years old and have read many different things about aging Lat. My assumption is no worries or need to immediately tap them. Thanks. |

Relaxing after a wonderful ribeye and black eyed peas dinner with a bowl of the best durn tobacco made today: Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bent straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink for the rest of the evening. Molly's wanting some play time, so there's goes the relaxation, durn it! Ah well, she deserves it because she's a sweet and very pretty cat.

Thanks. Incredible. The latakia has lost nothing over time. The Orientals and Virginias have melded together and I'd say overall, it's a smoother, more rounded smoke than when fresh. |

With thanks to jiminks mention of Gunsmoke, Bonanza & Maverick , had me reminiscing of my younger tv watching days, I must have seen most episodes of these series and more on UK tv. I am watching an episode of Bonanza on YouTube "Enter Thomas Bowyers" Finishing my Dr.Plumbs Dinky & "night" mix, with a cup of Laphraoig and lemonade. Pipe dreaming over my whiskey, thinking whether Hoss' act of mercy to Uncle Tom, did him any good , what of the Cartwright dynasty now ? Did Hoss get married have kids, who owns the Ponderosa now ? Did Hoss win against Uncle Tom at checkers in the jailhouse, who takes the rap ? Myself I think Africa is a huge continent with a billion Africans , and Africa's many circumcised religious slaves of Islam & Judaism a rich people, and it's African diaspora dispensable to the African Chiefs. i pray for peace, but I am weak..... |

Still puffing away, going to pour a second glass of whiskey, then into my mix cup, since it is Friday night ...Watched season 1 episode 1 of Gunsmoke, I had to make a wry laugh , how the western has moved on since those early days, I think of Cormac McCarthy, and No Country for Old Men, the Rattlesnake taking on the Python & Cobra for the quick and the slow...the Concrete Coliseum & the Redbrick Pyramids...peace...
I will have a HU Balkan Passion and the question of the EU & Brexit & the domino theory in Europe, perhaps in my emerald Peterson Christmas special, just pipedreams, smoke rings....never got any Strang , must have been a language difference ?

Now smoking Peretti’s Ultra Light in a 1979 smooth natural signed Rossi 1886 Oom Paul 124 with an amber acrylic stem. Took a work break to feed Suzy and now she wants to lay on my lap and snooze. Dunno how long this will last, but she'll get her way, of course. Old Tom: Gunsmoke on radio was better than the TV version.

I was disappointed to find Maverick ( the tv series ) is not available on YouTube , typical of card sharps they keep the cards to themselves under the spell of the banker Mr Thorschild & the Publican Mr Samwise. But I will watch the Mel Gibson version of Maverick....puffing and boozing the night away. What else do you do on Ramadan ? |

I listened to the first Gunsmoke radio episode , great radio drama with some "gravitas" , enjoying a fast of Tortilla chips (sour cream) with Tzatziki Dip ( with olive oil ) , a glass of straight Laphroaig Islay single malt ( 10 years ), and an Emerald Peterson Christmas Special & HU Balkan Passion, the birds twittering up the dawn. It is better than the cinema.  |

Almost finished smoking Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Simply Apple is my drink. Up early to take care of a few things. Suzy and Molly thought I did it just them, and I'm not telling them otherwise in order to score more affection points.  |

Now smoking Year 1926 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Coke made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Going to clean a few pipes now I have finished the things that needed done. Suzy and Molly are sitting on the window sill thinking about how brave they are compared to the animals in the outside world.
