A bit ago I finished a project, so I went out to the deck and smoked a "combo" of Sutliff Vanilla Custard and Nording Hunter Labrador. Nice smoke, great taste, but I think I packed the bowl just a little too tight. I smoked it in a BC briar pipe. The aroma was great, and the taste excellent. It burned hot and very moist however due to the tight packed bowl....I am ashamed of myself.
Next is Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish and Sutliff Spicy Vanilla......I can taste it now. Tonight I go to my oldest Grandsons' Babe Ruth baseball game (2 per week) and I usually just stand off to the area behind the stands so as not to pee anybody off and smoke my pipe. I do this after the Little League guys on the adjacent field are done so to eliminate the numbers of 'baseball Moms" who might have a problem if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.
Tried some Peter Stokkebye French Vanilla,didn't detect much of a Vanilla taste,so I did the next best thing and added some Mrs. Hudsons to it and it definitely added a much needed spark to this blend.
Finally! 76°, sunny and very slight breeze = perfect! Having some Barbados Plantation in a refurbished Hialeah topped off with a "local" plum wine while grilling some chicken sausages...
A gorgeous day in Kansas today and I enjoyed several smokes outdoors on my day off. Finished the day with Sasieni Balkan in a Nording. The wind is picking up and a tornado watch tomorrow with forecasted winds of 60-80 mph makes me think smoking the pipe outside will be impossible. Hopefully my mobile smoking lounge, AKA the Subaru, can withstand the winds so I can enjoy a new pipe and new tobacco blend that should be arriving.
On this, the most blessed day of the week (in my world anyway), I am starting the day with a bowl of Escudo Navy De Luxe in me bent Savinelli billiard. Cheers all!

Thank you, sir. If P&C remains dry on the VBC by my next order, I’ll diversify.
