Bought an "estate" pipe. A "Georg Jensen 72 Special 1/2 Bent Egg". 2" deep, 0.72" diameter.  Looks like she ought to be a cool smoker, with that long (and graceful) shank and stem. |

I am not sure what his actual title is, but he seems to be head of media relations for MacBaren tobaccos. Per (pronounced "Pear") grew up in his father's pipe making factory. I have a few George Jensen pipes, both are great smokers. This is Per, not me. |

Charlie give them a shout out, they may honor it, I ordered some cigars, didn’t know or look for a 25% code off, they came and flyer had the code, reached out to them and they credited my card. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

Ran the automatic adjuster and they sound great. That's my approach, too. I get them more or less where I think I want them, listen a bit, adjust, listen a bit, adjust. And that's it. I might make a small adjustment or two over the following weeks, but I try not to overthink it. How are they sounding? |

I was listening to some viola and cello music last night and I could tell that they are still a little tight. But they still sound better than the R-15s I had before. A few hours and they'll be amazing. |

I bet strings sound terrific on speakers that sensitive. |

Finding new records that sound great. My Tannoys have turned out to really shine on vocals, reeds/brass, and jazz guitar. |

I’ve got a bad feeling about the next 90 days or so, I think I’m gonna pull out a Visa card that I prefer to keep empty and cellar me some cigars. Maybe enough backup for a year.

Just ordered ...
Box of Partagas Black Gigantes
Box of Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Grandes
Bundle of 10 KFC Just A Friend
That will get me through for a while, along with what’s already on hand. I can always add more later.
