Don't know if it was the weather, the bakky or what but I haven't had a bowl this enjoyable in a long time.

Bill,

It may be that time of year because my Louisiana Flake has been lights out good the past 10-12 days.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1950s Barlng's Make Ye Olde Wood #252 Fossil (sandblast), saddle billiard.

Mainly smoke VA flakes in smooth, thick walled billiard (type) bowls but this is a sandblast that I've not smoked in a while so there's little ghosting.

The brightness is subdued but the complement of nuanced flavors is apparent. Not as sweet as in the #251 (taper smooth from the same era), but a little deeper.

Well after my daughter's 13th birthday party today and my being around a dozen screaming giggling girls about the same age, I wanted a strong drink and a tobacco with a high vitamin N content.

So I had some Royal Yacht.............and Scotch. Lots of Scotch.

Not far from finishing this bowl of C&D Kickin’ Chicken in an early 1930s smooth straight Super Grain Kaywoodie Synchrostem Canadian 5129 with a black vulcanite stem.

Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant blowfish with a black acrylic stem.

Half way through this bowl of Smoker’s Pride Natural in a 2002 smooth straight grain full bend Two dot Dorelio Rovera Ardor Venere Extra Giant Fantasy flat front sitter with a blue ferrule and a black acrylic stem. Have enough left for one small bowl. Simply Apple is my drink.

Part way through this bowl of Edgeworth Slices in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem.
