The last of my stash of Reiner’s Long Golden Flake in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Billiard bowl with a long Canadian stem, unbranded.

Presbyterian Mixture in a Peterson Antique Collection replica of an old straight billiard. No cats around, so that that settles it then: If there is any Latakia in the Melange it is VERY little.
Hey Jim, I noticed that you have never reviewed Presbyterian Mixture! I know you have smoked it and you have reviewed a Presbyterian Match, so this one must have slipped through the cracks?

Enjoyed some of my Montecristo cigar with my Slav Folk Pipe & Uncle Tom's on my corner garden bench after dinner, with a cup of Indian tea & milk in my Royal Albert mug. The mini Habanas are fine short smoke & it is a pleasure to smoke on the Folk pipe with a wooden mouthpiece I dislike plastic mouthpieces, the Uncle Tom's is such an agreeable blend. I have some bowl remnants to go in my Blakemar poker a bit later with a milk shake GW.  |

I had the dregs of a few bowls in my Blakemar on my corner garden bench in the dying light of the evening with a Chocolate milk shake, the smoke was heady but not as flavoursome or as agreeable as my usual English & Balkan & Aromatic mixes , but waste not want not...listening to some BBC radio four current affair stories, a review of scientific progress in some cancers, followed by an Iranian Baha'i intellectual lady and her story of her academic progress in the psychological sciences after leaving Iranian school at the age of 12 with no education to become a leader in her field in her circle, an exception rather than the rule....in repressive systems.  |

A little late supper, my blend of Chinese green tea, mixed nuts, & some of my chocolate caramel aroma American aromatics mix in a Parker Rhodesian.  Smoke is as allusive as the living present, but more certain than the delusions of some books, particular propaganda books of pseudo history & science. |

Evening gents.
Looks like I am not the only one who has been absent. Scanning the smoking thread it seems that the summer slow season has set in. Happens every year, so nothing to worry about. Too many bbq's and softball games to attend and beers to be drunk in the yard.
My absence has been a combination of the usual summer events and work. Until this past weekend, it was weeks since I picked up a pipe. That being said, I'm trying to find some time to relax and wind down and my pipe is going to join me. Got some Storm Front burning in a Windjammer tonight. Will be a glass of bourbon in my future as well in memory of my buddy Mike.
