Dunhill MM 965 in my Grabow Freehand.
It's almost the end of my stash of this tobacco. I havent decided if I'm going to cellar some of this or write it off. I've found so many more tobaccos that I enjoy a lot more.

That was nice of you!! Let’s see what Sam thinks👍👍 With the mushrooms in the blend there should be a real good earthy taste, well one would think👍 Oh, would you buy it again...that’s a better question. I don't think there is mushrooms in it lol. I like it enough that I bought a pound and have about 12oz left. Its smokey, sweet a bit earthy and spicy it also burns pretty cool unless you tend to be a faster cadence pipe smoker. Definitely buy again! Jack, you don’t pick up a hint of mushrooms in the aroma to taste in the background, an earthy taste like sweet smoke with a note of mushroom??? |

Now smoking Half&Half with perique in a 2015 dark brown smooth straight Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service “Bing” replica with an aluminum band and black ebonite stem. This is the first Bing Basil made. Have enough left for half a bowl or so. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Jack, you don’t pick up a hint of mushrooms in the aroma to taste in the background, an earthy taste like sweet smoke with a note of mushroom??? Well yes I do and I think everyone who has smoked it does, you did right? According to Phil at "Just For Him" in Springfield MO. #417-886-8380 Where STM is blended. There is no actual mushrooms in STM, what you are tasting and where the earthy flavor is coming from is truffle flavored tobacco. And for those who care they offer all sorts of bulk at very reasonable prices, I just bought a pound of 1Q for 35.72 inc. tax. I don't know about shipping rates as I live close enough to go pick it up. |

Second smoke of this vertical and nausea-filled Friday, Solani's 'Aged Burley Flake' in a John Peel. A great flake pipe.  I'm OK again and got a lot of smoking to do. "A Whole Lotta Shaggin' Goin' On".

Good morning to you all.
This first smoke of the morning; McConnell's 'Pure Orient' in a GBD no. 719 - Club.
I checked the bottom of Qasim and he was stamped 'D.R.G.M. 3053'. I found out that it stands for 'Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster', a registration of the design of an item, not a patent registration. It was in use from 1891 till 1946, where 'Reich' was substituted by 'Bundes-'. A registration was valid for three years.
The point that I am trying to make, is that said Qasim is much older than I thought.
(Another tidbit of useless information).
i found it fascinating! He looks good for his age. Thanks' M'Lady. Indeed he looks good for his age, but if you look closely at the tip of his nose, his right cheek and his hands, you can see that he suffers from the skin condition colloquially known as "Michael Jackson".

Part way through this bowl of Drexel VIII in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching the Yankees-Red Sox game.

Good thing there's about 15 more When I had my garden and grew any type of melons I would put a brick or stones underneath to stop water rot on the bottom. Nothing worse then water rot on your melons!!! |

I have hills built up in the garden and when the melons grow I move them to the top of the hills. The problem is, there's more melons than I anticipated. Add 4 days of straight rain and no sunshine and there's all sorts of problems going on right now.
I didnt want to plant watermelons, cantaloupes or pumpkins... but my 8 year old insisted.
I'm glad they're in a completely separate garden from my normal veggies.
