This is gonna be one of those days where very little 'cruitin' gonna get done...but there is gonna be a whole passel of wordsmithing... There were two good/nasty client calls and a major client intake call...and I gotta do all the follow-ups...
So this is more of what I WILL be smoking..
Tobacco--today, gonna be "layering"--base of "something, middle layer of something, top??
Pipe, whatever comes to hand in the rotation...
Example...Right now, Cigar Leaf base, Stoved Black Virginia middle and McClelland Dominican Glory Maduro top--in a MM Country Gentleman Barrel bent. That's about as close to a sure report as I'll have today...
Pretty much a day on tap like yesterday...just with a bit less report-writing. Bringing four of my bigger-bowled pipes into the rotation...in one way or another...they are all Savinellis. The little feller in the middle is a GBD 529 for size comparison... Tobacco...whatever comes to hand off the shelf...
Having awakened too early with indigestion, I've cooked and eaten breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, and am now relaxing with MacB Mixture from June 2014 in a Mark Twain.
Today is a blend I mixed up myself that I call Winters night-it has a bit of sutliff black spice, a bit of autumn evening, a bit of BCA, some straight burley, and a bit of picyuane to warm it up a bit. I mixed it a few months ago and just let it sit and I am pleased with the outcome! Tried it in a MM bent diplomat. That is probably enough aro for today though, thinking Bayou night in a briar for the next smoke of the day
At this very moment I'm smoking a tobacco blend from Pipes And Cigars, one of Russ' monthly blends - "Spring Training". It's a wonderful aromatic that both smells and tastes like the caramel covered popcorn and Peanut snacks "Cracker Jacks" or "Fiddle Faddle". I worked for a time in the late 60s' at the Ovaltine Company in Villa Park Illinois as a corn popper making "Fiddle Faddle", and the room note of Spring Training brings back memories of manning the ovens at Ovaltine. If you've ever been to a County Fair I'm sure your sense of smell has lured you in the direction of the kettle corn vendor cooking up a batch of their caramel coated confection.
