I finished a Morgan filled with Peterson Flake before dinner, now onto Pease Odyssey in a Rob Roy.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Smoking this Peterson Amber Spigot 87 for the first time tonight. I bought it new back in February 2017😳. I have loaded it with some of my go-to C&D “Espresso”.

Re: The World We Live In
@ghostsofpompeii;
I had the nuclear stress test about a year ago and that's when they found I had a blockage in my arterys. That led to an angiogram that showed my main artery was 90% blocked. Too blocked for a stint and two days later (2/1/2021) I had bypass surgery. Four days later they sent me home. The stress test wasn't bad for me. I'm lucky they found out what the problem was before I actually had a heart attack. I had to go to rehab sessions for a month after that. Most of the other patients had to rehab longer. My guess is that they all had had heart attacks prior to their surgery. I was probably the oldest in the rehab group, and was surprised at how out of shape they were. By the grace of God and a loving wife(57 years this July), i'm still puffing. I hope you remain healthy. Getting old ain't for pussies.

"Conservative" you are, it's the "secret" part that I can't imagine!

Re: The World We Live In
I never left ... just due to the weather I haven't been able to smoke as much as I like, so I haven't had much to offer in the way of a conversation. Still come here a couple times a day. And I do try to avoid the controversial stuff. Can't always agree with everyone - and I know both sides are pretty passionate about their views, so it's best to keep my mouth shut.
I've been pretty sick these past few months - not COVID - just problems apparently associated with aging. Some auto-immune disease as yet diagnosed that has all my joints aching like a 90 year old man - or a middle linebacker after a Sunday game. Then I discovered there was something wrong with the old ticker ... but after a series of tests there doesn't seem to be anything earth shattering or life threatening ... so I'm good to go for another decade or so.
Anyone here ever have a nuclear stress test? Man that's freaky. Since I can't do the treadmill because it feels like my joints are being lubricated with shards of glass, they have you lay on a table and give you two injections to put stress on the heart and get it pumping chemically as though you were actually running on a treadmill. It was weird having your heart pounding away while you're just laying flat on your back doing nothing. After two minutes I was starting to get a little worried and asked to take off my mask because it was getting hard to breath. That's when I discovered there was a second injection and another two minute session to increase the heartbeat further. I gotta tell you ... at one point I was really freaking out and nearing full fledged panic mode. But I made that additional full two minute session and I didn't die. (Apparently if they detect a problem they'll stop the test) I made it to the end feeling an unearned sense of accomplishment - as though I ran the last leg of a relay race and came in first. And the icing on the cake - they gave me a Coke and some cookies afterwards. Diabetes be damned ... I drank the Coke, ate the cookies, and celebrated.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Smoking some early 2019 G.L.Pease “Union Square” folded and stuffed straight from the jar in my “Cholula” wood shank. The little guy is still smoking decently cool and dry. No burning chamber and half a bowl through👍🏻
