Having a bowl of Two Friends Celtic Mist in a MM Ozark Mountain Hardwood. Cool water to sip. Just popped the final tin from the cellar and while I do enjoy it, I find it a bit "cloying" sometimes and doubt that I will replenish the blend.

A VaPer I've been messing with in a Gnarly Bones.

The weather and job have been kicking my butt this week. I'm beyond the point of exhausted

Samuel Gawith 2015 Limited Edition in a Charatan's Make Freehand Relief. The Amaretto is there, but the nutty taste of burley is a bit difficult to detect. The Cavendish is sweet and satisfying. Cool water to pair, vodka shot coming up.

Margate in a little rusticated pot.

Bayou Morning in a shop pipe.

Fusilier's Ration now, in an XX Ashton Oldchurch Squashed Tomato with a Brindle Stem. This reminds me of the old Bengal Slices, and I very much enjoy the sweet grassy and floral notes. Blood orange sparkling water to pair.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Off the Rails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Working and phone chatting about stuff.

Special Latakia Flake in a Comoy's Pebble Grain Prince. Kool-aid on the side.

Keeping it smoky with an immediate pipeful of Sutliff's Great Outdoors. Still paired with the blood orange sparkling water. I detect molassas, vanilla and plum. Quite nice.

A third of the way through this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem. Working on an Archie and the gang story.

Good evening, guys. My last smoke of July is Old Dark Fired in a smooth Savinelli Solaria 315 EX with water on the side. Watching Zodiac (2007).
