Halfway through a bowl of Haunted Bookshop when I realized the calendar had turned a page. Happy September!

I found a tin of Germain's Royal Jersey with Latakia that had been forgotten about, what a great smoke.  |

Inaugural bowl of MM965 in the Savinelli Tortuga 305. Insisted on finishing every bit, got a bit hot, and got paranoid about potential damage, staring into the bowl forever. All seems well. I think these things are heartier than is often assumed.  |

Started the day with Haunted Bookshop and coffee in the backyard. Went to work in the garden, cleaning up potted plants and baskets. Culling a few that have gotten too raggedy.

Started the day with Haunted Bookshop and coffee in the backyard. Went to work in the garden, cleaning up potted plants and baskets. Culling a few that have gotten too raggedy. I'm sitting on 30-40 pounds of ripening tomatoes right now myself. Have to offload a few to sister and family. I get spotty contracts here and there with some chefs at the local country clubs, and so occasionally I get a nice payout when they are willing to pay $6-8/lb for heirloom varieties. Chefs like to pick and choose which strains they want to buy, and the last season and this were affected by the pandemic. One manager at a country club across town has promised me that next season, they'd take at least 20-30 pounds at $6/lb. At a different country club from two years ago, one chef really liked the smaller brown tomatoes for salad presentations and made some dishes based on those that I grew, simultaneously two other chefs within the same kitchen preferred Black Krim's, Brandywine, and Vintage Wine varieties I'd had.
I'm now starting some C&D John Marr in an MM Mark Twain cob.

Mac Baren's Royal Twist De Luxe Roll Cake in my RDP strawberry briar blasted bulldog.
@charles - Not to answer for Ed there, but he's talking about 5x50 and various sized no-name cigars. No band implying they are off-brand or reclaimed factory seconds.

Figured I'd bust out my 1970 Pioneer meer gourd calabash after seeing everyone give their's a recent outing. Old picture but here's mine in the stand. This was my grandfather's pipe. Going to smoke some 2010 Orlik Golden Sliced in it now.

I've been off for a while trying to keep in touch with family in Southern Louisiana. I've mainly been rotating between a few new to me burly blends the past few days. Having some Surbrugs Crystal Palace in a Savinelli 626 Saturnia for a change of pace.

2010 Orlik Golden Sliced in the gourd calabash again, to chase the faint latakia ghost out of the pipe I was noticing toward the end of the bowl. Up working late night server conversions.
