Greetings from Greece, we have a big fest here, the Tsiknopempti. You can call it like ''Barbeque Thursday'' due of the heavy smell of the grilled meat [called "Tsikna" here] which is in the air. greece.greekreporter.com/2018/02/08/sizzling-tsiknopempti-customs-across-greece/Out in the streets and the balconies, inside the stores or the companies every Greek is celebrating, "Houaaaaaa" [is like the American Yeeehaaa"] to you all. After honouring the tradition i am smoking McClelland grand orientals Drama Reserve. You are killing me. I have to come to Athens someday.

Now going to enjoy......... A pipe I made a while back using no power tools. A lot of hand carving, filing and sanding. The chamber and draft hole was drilled with a Fiskars hand cranked drill. Happens to be an excellent smokerπππ

Been out running around all day. Got the oil changed in the truck and went to the pistol range, then grocery shopping. Finally got a chance to relax with a bowl of MacBaren Vanilla Flake in a Peterson Shannon 05 with a p-lip. Iced tea on the side. Time to start supper. What'd ya shoot, Ron?

Glad I have 5 jars of this with some age............
Iwan Ries Three Star Blue dated 6/2015 in my Don Warren Morta Poker Pipe with a straight shank and stem. This pipe was made to my specifications, as far as the size of the bowl and chamber dimensions. Great smoker and well crafted. ππ

Prepped a bowl of Sutliff Holiday Mixture, in the MM The General corn cob but had to take a nap first. Actually smoking it now late at night. So, there I go again, upsetting my circadian rhythm by surrendering to the napping impulse.
