Having some Escudo and a Sam Adams this am. I used to work nights, I would get off at 8 or 9 AM and still be in a work uniform to stop off and buy beer for my “evening”. I always got weird looks from this purple haired guy that clerked the convenience store. Finally one day he said something about me being at work drinking. “ I drive a propane tanker, it calms my nerves” I told him. Kinda related… Relayed it at work and my supervisor that was a dingleberry overheard it and said, “you cannot wear your uniform off work.” I asked him “When do we break ground on the new locker room with showers? I am not changing from a sweaty uniform into street clothes.” He told me I should change in a toilet stall… I dared him to make me. |

October 2nd.
Events have slowed to a dull roar allowing more time for bowls.
At the time of this writing I have a well prepared bowl of GLP Sparkplug that is doing fantastically in the Vauen Enzian.
I just opened a tin of GLP Navigator and instantly ordered an 8oz can for the vault. It is a well refined C&D Blockade runner which I enjoy so it was a sure fit.
On the last bit of C&D Mississippi mud which has been delightful, the perique keeps the burley in line for a flavorful rich and hearty bowl. So laid in an 8oz can of that as well.
the cobblestone "bishop" blend has been very nice. a mid-mild english with some care given to aging. I expect more of the same quality for the three other tins I have in the collection. The "rook" is all virginia and I have high hopes for that one.
Super Balkan is another I been getting through. frankly, engine 99 is a better version of that blend. the burley just gets too forward in the flavor.
All of the work pipes along with the petersons "hudson" bulldog(its actually a kinsale which is a later version of the hudson with a p-lip stem.) and even a couple of bowls of orcilla in the charatans make freehand.
Been busy trying to work past all the burley blends I somehow have open. need to get back to Va/pers and all orientals for a bit before it gets cold and the burley become the goto. (mainly as they are very heady so half a small bowl does the trick and who cares about flavor when the cold saps it out of a bowl. so burleys are great winter bowls just a bit too heavy for warmer times when other blends shine)
anyhoo, hope all are well and having a favorite bowl at the time of reading this!

Stuffed this Willmer pot with Fribourg & Treyer Cut Blended Plug. It should see me through several short smoking sessions during the day during halftimes and other game pauses.   |

I had just about 3/4 of a bowl of St. James flake from an open jar added some D&R Picayune.
Not bad!

Just finished some Carter Hall. Nearly broken in now after about 25 bowls. Will hit that sweet spot in 10-15 more bowls.
