Bowl of Merchant's Choice at the dog park this morning. Did my best to stay away from the other owners so I didn't bother them in case they were the type to mind.

First bowl of Half & Half ever tonight. Doesn't seem to be anything special, but it's not offensive.

Side note, it's pouring rain but I'm on a covered deck, and I'm dreading a large rain drop falling into the pipe and ruining the smoke.

Had some Tewksbury's Real Cherry aromatic this afternoon. I was going to go back out tonight for more but there is a skunk roaming around and I need new batteries for my green dot red laser combo. :td

Been smoking my Hooka lately. So far I have not been impressed by the flavors I have tried, including "Pipe Tobacco." Dunno if there is a great variation in quality between the cheaper stuff and the more expensive stuff, but the cheaper stuff has not really "tasted" like much of anything or quite artificial.

Had some Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Sweet Rum Twist. Not my favorite twist, but does have a nice "kick" to it.

Also cut off a hunk for chewing while I was cutting the medallions for the pipe.

Sextant thanks to Mark!
I really like this blend, it has a light hand of Latikia that complements the rum topping and the dark fired Ky gives it that stout kick that let's you know it's there.
On a side note, strong tobacco has always settled my stomach and this is doing the job after a late night trip to a local brick fired pizza joint!

Thanks Mark, gonna have to postpone it for a couple hours, my daughter is fired up to go back out and make some more cold calls. Out of 6 stops this morning to various business owners, she got 4 ads and 3 donation bucket drop offs. That is not counting what we did yesterday (her mom and I) just in passing conversations while taking care of other business in Reno.

It is pretty good stuff. It had 5 years on it when I bought it (few tins) in '98. I quit smoking cigars & pipes for several years but I always took care of the tobacco I had left. :D I have seen tins of this age on fleabay go around $100 give or take, but I'm not paying that much for it...for now at least...at least until I see how good or not good the new Nightcap is. I bought a sleeve of the new stuff so I can nurse what I have remaining of the old.

I can't compare the old to the new, but in my very short pipe smoking career, the new Nightcap is by far my favorite.

I'm interested in hearing your review once you smoke the new stuff.

Enjoy Spencer, but remember to keep your eyes focused on the roadway too:tu

Flynnster 11-26-2013 10:39 AM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
I've got the pipe prepacked and pre charred, and since it's a cob, if anything happens I can just drop it.

Thanks for all the blends, I'm really enjoying going through them.

Wonderful walk through the woods with the pup today. Had a bowl of Anni Kake in. This will be my first bulk purchase as soon as I see if Pipes and Cigars have a cyber monday sale going on.

Bancroft Tower by the Owl Shop. It's a VaPer with some Lat in broken flake form, and totally delishious!

I found a tin with a mix of Balkan Sasieni and Sutliff Molto Dulce. I think I just tossed them together and forgot about it when I bought a few tins of new stuff. Surprisingly it was really good after sitting for about 6 months in the basement.
