Old Dark Fired in my CAO Meer
GLP Sextant in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls.
Just finished smoking Jim’s C Blend in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band.
Working on some G&H Scotch Flake Aro in a smooth, straight Sasieni Mayfair apple. I've got some Anny Kake drying out for later. It's been a while since I had any of that, looking forward to it. I'm not a fan of tobaccos I have to dry out, but some are worth it.
Smoking some Royal Yack in a cob. Watching GU vs. UCLA
Fire Storm in a 2002 medium bend smooth straight grain Karl Erik freehand with a pointy bottom.
Watching you and @JimInks post we can only hope that Mayweather-Pacquiao has as much action!Quote:

So speaks Godzilla!! :D
Loving it, one of my favs so far! I tried a little of the sweet vanilla honeydew last night and liked it also! Thinking I was smoking it wrong. Glad I tried it again.
St. James flake in my flake Peterson.
Loving me some march madness tonight :)
Sp speaks the Geico!
Listing this a bit early so I can concentrate on work for a while: Watch City Flake #558 in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit.
@Branzig : at least you have some SJF. I ran out a couple weeks ago. Shoulda sent Mothra out to get me some more.
Careful, she may bring back Rodan or Ghidorah with her! [emoji14]Quote:

A couple of bowls, one in the large Ser Jacopo bent billiard and another in the medium TwoDot apple, both very nice. The flakes needed a little drying, but they were very good anyhow, and I thoroughly enjoyed a nice straight Virginia for a change. Just finished watching the skating world championships for the day. Great skating!

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Mixture #12 in a 1981 Mastro de Paja 1C sandblast lovat.
First GH latakia mixture for me and it's an impressive start. No (artificial) tar taste to the latakia. I've been threatening to do a review, maybe I'll do it for this mixture.
I have never smoked a GH&Co Lat blend either come to think of it. Only Virginia blends and Lakelands.Quote:

I too am lighting up a morning bowl of Royal Yach in a 1940s Wally Frank. Goes decent with the morning coffee, but not as well as Storm Front I must say :pipe:

Jim, are you snowing there yet? We're forecast for 3-4" now and the ground again becomes a memory.Quote:

Another pipe from the archives, very early Epoca (dripping candle wax) finish in a #16 shape (unmarked).
Overnight Mixture #12 has improved nicely. @Branzig asked for a review and I can't refuse him anything (except pipes, tobacco, money or anything of value). I dread writing tobacco reviews and prefer to read those by @JimInks but a promise is a promise and barring sickness or injury (someone please give me the flu) it will be done in 2015.
FVF in a Finsbury II.

Finsbury was (is?) located in Elmsford NY, not far from Sleepy Hollow. They had pipes made for them under the Bonnie Brier label as well as their own name (such as yours).
