This is the first order I've put in in a bit. Had several things accumulate on my "Need To Try" list. Plus getting some more Pegasus while the getting was good. Seems like my plan to build up my cellar may have gotten in the way of exploration, lately. While I did order a couple new blends, I think they'll be similar to some that I already have. I need to try more new blends and liven things up a bit.

It's a conspir'cy, I sez!

I guess I went through the same thing awhile back. Decided to focus on cellaring as deep as I could on a number of favorites. As time went on, that list got considerably shorter, and I have 1 - 1 1/2 lb. quantities of blends I don't smoke very often. It'll be nice to give them time in the cellar, and then revisit them. My recent focus has been on daily go-to blends, and I won't be running short on those for a little while. I'm going to make a point of finding something different to try when I make a purchase. The danger is I'll find something else that I've have to stockpile. I guess that's a good problem to have. Unless, it's something that's hard to get - like the GH/SG blends.

I got my new Blue parrot B450-XT Bluetooth headset.
BlueParrott has made the best headsets for truckers over the years. The noise cancelling mic can have you in a noisy environment, and the recipient will think you are in a quiet room.

Yeah, sometimes ya gotta be careful about what you try. This is why I haven't sought out any Esotericas, despite Dunbar having been my favorite in my previous smoking life.

Nice pipe Duane!
Nothing in the mail as I have all the tobacco I can possibly use til I die. Not looking for something new to get all crazy over.

package from smokingpipes.com just arrived. A couple new cobs, 1/2 pound of RLP-6, a couple of Sutliff blends I've been tempted into, and the 'ingredients' to try some homespun Hobbit's Weed. One 4oz batch of the traditional recipe (1/2 BCA, 1/4 1M, 1/4 Very Cherry) and one 4oz batch subbing Peach Cobbler for the Cherry. Now I guess I just have to let them sit for a while and see if I like either or both. Good Day!

Or a disturbance as in 'I'm a guy and I need to catch up'?

No longer in the mail, but now in my grubby paws— a Kaywoodie Giant, a new addition to my growing stable of very large smokers. The bowl’s bore is .865x2.2”, making it a worthy stable-mate to the Peterson Pub and House pipes. This one comes from Nathan at Greywoodie, Ltd. Nathan is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him. This is the second pipe I have purchased with him, with excellent service.
