Hot and windy on the West Coast of the Dark Continent. Another day of meetings looming. C&D Bayou Morning in a Goussard Freehand for breakfast. Kung Fu kittens on the carpet: Pippin vocal like Bruce Lee; Frankie silent like Chuck Norris  |

smoking Captain Black Dark in my nekid apple Diplomat with black bent Danish stem. I think it's been two weeks since I smoked a pipe. much too long. if you're too busy to smoke you are too busy. Pipe club tonight, and I think I might get to go, hubby is over his cold, even though he still has a cough, but because of his scar tissue coughs seems to linger a long time....

I decided that a cigar was necessary in my life right now, so I'm smoking a Cohiba Siglo 2. Researching and writing for a talk I am delivering to a lawyer's group next week.

The last couple of bowls of Peterson Holiday Season 2016 limited edition mixed with St. Bruno in a black rustic PM Meerschaum with a broad bent stem. Water on the table. Silence except for Pop snoozing & the traffic roaring bye at times.
PS, a little family birthday party with Cake & candles for the sake of my five year old great niece, and gifts, including a neat modest cherry pipe semi rustic with some style & my first Zippo lighter which works perfectly with a butane torch insert., & more. Thanking my lucky stars.

Now that is a combination of stimulation for the senses that will put you in the Wayback machine. Don't know if you've yet had the pleasure of smoking the Edward G. Robinson Pipe Blend, but I would highly recommend you treat yourself to it... when all else in the bowl gets tiresome and same-ol-same-ol, this blend is like coming home and starting over from the get go... I have one tin, (can?) of it that I ordered a couple of months back, and it keeps talking to me. Guess it is time to pull that lid off. Now to decide which pipe merits this one.... |

Don't forget to Mason Jar it once opened... it ages well! A deep round or conical bowl will work well. |
