thebadgerpiper I feel your sinus pain been down for almost two weeks without smoking but tomorrow is pipe club so its time to lite it up dam the sinus.
Believe it or not, I am staring at a couple ounces of Middletons' Cherry Blend. This has been in a sealed Mason Jar for at least 3 or 4 years. This was the very first blend I smoked when I started pipe smoking as a high school sophomore in 1965. This stuff burned the crap out of my mouth because I had no idea what I was doing then, as I also smoked cigarettes and just assumed they were the same. The last time I smoked this was 3 or 4 years ago and it was very much a trip back in time. I have a trusty MM Corn Cob sitting here which soon will be the "vessel" of choice for yet another trip back in time. See you on the other side.
As far as smoking a pipe I did the same thing back in the seventys and eight's. My first pipe had the leather stitch on the side. I smoked it like a cigarette. Thanks to you guys and this sight I now love my pipes
Smoking some Happy Accident in a no name factory second straight billiard. It is an aromatic Blend of Virginia burley and Cavendish cased with vanilla and that mix blended with 25% latakia.
Some Sutliff’s Sunset Rum in my Carey billiard while listening to the storms build. This blend pairs well with my Earl Grey Vanilla Cream tea I’m currently sipping on.
221-B Baker St. – Toasted Cavendish laced with Latakia, then blended with White Burley and Golden Virginia to produce a sweet, fuller bodied smoke, yet cool and slow burning. I'm enjoying it in a bent Missouri Meerschaum. It seemed more prudent to copy and it the description than to rely on my memory.
@RandyB1966 Sinus issues are the worst when you want to enjoy a pipe. I tried smoking my pipe in the garage last night, but my sinuses kept getting in the way from enjoying it.
Barbados Plantation enlivened with just a pinch of Nording Fox Hound https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/1684/nording-fox-hound, (not Sutliff Fox and Hounds) in my Duncah Hill Aerosphere, on the rear deck, with about three fingers of Jonah's Curse Black spiced rum, over crushed ice.
@motie2 Mom’s a little over 78. She has been mowing the lawn herself sometimes, but she went to a memorial service with my little sister for a relative that recently passed. They were headed to her hometown of Sidney, MT this morning after church. It’s about 300 miles east of Billings. Yea, I’m not exactly a spring chicken, I am creeping up on the 55 and older menu in about four days🙂
Ok. At almost 73 (September.... Also 50th wedding anniversary same day.... ) I'm trying to imagine still having living parents. Both my father and mother, of blessed memory, were older when I was born, and they're both long gone.
Gordon Both of my parents died some years ago. Watching my Dad slowly waste away rom Alzheimers was horrible. That was after he spent 2 years in WW2 as a POW and toward the last year or so was backin the war in his mind. My Mom died taking care of him as long as she could, then died with a bad heart. I will tell you not a day goes by that I do not think of them both. So I would love to have everyone on this site wish their parents well for me. RockyMountainBriar tell your Mom hello for me.

Yep, that's that little badger
Enjoy, my friend.
Is that the Dunhill blend, or something else?
That is a strange mural.
I ask because you appear to be no spring chicken....
Smoking some Jolly Old St. Nicholas in a bent Rinaldo.
Nice...... but solitary.
