I had to cut some Black Irish XX after that talk. Except Brown. And Bogie, in a in a Grabow Lovat (?). I can't do the black ropes. It's like smoking salmon skin to me. I usually like weird tobacco, though. How about SG Black XX? it's more like snuffed candles, burnt leather and overcooked meat but with a hint of baking spices! |

But in snuff I like a few that have some charred flesh and asphalt vibes that I do like. Go figure. |

Followed by Embarcadero in this big ol' Radice: Great blast! Thanks. That's what caught my eye about that one: all those lovely grain lines. (The color scheme isn't really my thing, but it isn't remotely as bright in daily use as it is there, inside a lightbox.) It's consistent, too. Here's the other side:  Radice gives some of the best value for money in pipes these days, imho. |

Some Captain Rev. In a Walt MM CG before making a final resting spot for the wife's dog. She went to feed him this moring and he was not with the living anymore. Now having some GH Balkan mixture in sandblasted B42 Pete. I'm so sorry, Ted. |

I am sorry to hear of the dogs passing. They are great companions, and it is always sad when they go.
It was cold, but somewhat calm this afternoon. I was able to get in a bowl of C&D Engine No. 99 in my Nording Nose warmer before dinner.

Now having some GH Balkan mixture in sandblasted B42 Pete. I'm so sorry for your loss. Our dogs are such a big part of what makes us human. If there is a downside to having a dog or cat as a friend, it's that we outlive them; I always tell myself that God fixed it that way, so we can share our life with so many, but that never lessens the pain of loss.  Haddo's Delight, in a Savinelli Oscar, was my final smoke last night, now I'm having more of the same in my Kristi FreeHand, with the usual hot coffee. |
