Erinmore Flake drying on deck. This stuff has a real black liquorice note out of the tin. Maybe some orange blossom.   Much more aromatic than I had expected.  

I quite enjoy Erinmore Flake. Might be an acquired taste, but I like it.

I enjoyed it as well.  Quite a lot.   

The Connoisseur’s Choice, not so much.  Smells terrific, but it bites me too easily.  Maybe my last foray into the world of Peterson aromatics.  Wonder if I can press it and burn it like incense? haha

Back home from the Spider-Man movie. It was better than the first one, which was lousy, but it's not the Spider-Man I knew from my collecting days or the days I was a Spider-Man artist. Half way through this bowl of Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Yeah, Spiderman: Homecoming was pretty disappointing and I probably won't go to see this new one in the theater. The Spiderman TV series that ran from 1994 to 1998 best captures the Spiderman that I grew up with in the '70s.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

Sutliff 515 RC in my Savinelli 130ks.

Esoterica Dunbar in the Comoy's Sandgrain apple billiard. Cool water to pair. Making a lasagna for dinner.

Walkman wrote:Smoking C&D Golden Days of Yore (See a pattern here? Trying to finish up this tin. I'm enjoying it much more than I did when I originally opened it.) in a Savinelli Bing's Brown Blast with water on the side.

That smoke is too spicy new, as is 3Kings. Both age very nicely, though. Hope the 2018 one does. Sort of afraid to try it fresh

Just cracked a 2 year old tin of Erinmore that's been inadvertently stoving in my car for the last couple.months,. I have a flake rubbed out and drying. I'll be smoking it in a fishegg thing.

Relaxing after a wonderful cashew chicken dinner with freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert. A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2005 Orlik Old English Curve in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite tapered stem. Watching the Braves-Padres game, and will listen to the rest when I go to work.

Love when that happens.  I have been surprised a couple times now.

A couple of minutes or so away from smoking Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051 Dublin with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Working and listening to baseball.

Enjoyed a tasty peach, and am now smoking Wessex Gold Slice in a black straight, grain etched family era (Post WW2) Four Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered vulcanite stem.

Now smoking Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Taking a very short work break.

Late night bowl of Shortcut to Mushrooms in the Charatan's Make Freehand relief. Vodka tonic. Nostrovia, pipers.

A third of the way through this bowl of 1970s Lane Limited Edgeworth Cavendish (Brown) in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 with a black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to Billy Joel demos.

Smoking GH Brown Flake Scented in a MM General cob with water on the side. Watching The Reef (2011).

Time for some SG Firedance Flake to smoke in the Stanwell 2012 POY with a bottle of Bohemia Pilsner along side.

I hope you all are enjoying your evenings!

Lane Limited Black Cavendish No 1.

Just finished smoking 2017 Esoterica Peacehaven in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a small horn ferrule accent and black acrylic saddle stem.

Part way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob with a yellow stem. I'll finish the day with this smoke.

Up early to help m'lady load up the car with her project materials, and I got in a bowl of Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Gonna try to grab a snooze now.

Almost half way through this bowl of old Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink on this nearly unbearable humid day.

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke #44 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Lunch is next. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Enjoyed a tasty meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn lunch, and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 MacBaren Acadian Perique in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Getting set to watch the Braves-Brewers game. Loading the dishwasher in the meantime.
