This past week I got to try some delicious McCranie’s Red Ribbon while in Charlotte. This will probably be my one and only bowl of this storied and delicious Red Virginia. It was heavenly!
I also bought a new (never smoked) BBB Canadian from the 60s or 70s. It came with the original box and sock. They had several new BBBs and GBDs from that era for sale. An old pipe shop found them after they shut their doors and sold them to McCranies. I’m currently smoking a new house blend of theirs (a VaPer called Stirling Bridge), and it’s wonderful.
Thanks @Londy3 and @Michael308 ! It's been a fantastic one spent up in Wisconsin with my wife and friends.
Managed to get home with some time to spare tonight, so I'm spending the last bit of my birthday with my favorite pipe and tobacco. Smoking my Savinelli Impero Billiard with OJK.
So I'm here at the Westin hotel in downtown Atlanta...packed my pipe and looking for where I can relax. Can't seem to do it. Getting blackballed....ugh
Heading out to run some errands so I'm going to have a bowl or two, Ten Russians and Haunted bookshop in a Brebbia sun pipe and a db Design Berlin conference 221
I got the shank for my old Missouri Meerschaum bulldog fixed up, and now it's smokable again. Had a test smoke with it tonight with C&D's Poplar Camp, and all seems well. Now it's onto building up some pipe mud in the bowl to fill in some spots, and it'll be a regular in my rotation.
I forced myself to not smoke Spark Plug today. I enjoyed a bowl of Ashton's Artisans blend this morning and H&H White Knight this afternoon. I'm thinking of finishing the day with Ten Russians.
#FalconFriday One of my Mr. Brog Bosman Falcons and a bit of JFH Shortcut To Mushrooms. I really needed this break. #pipelife #pipejunkie #TPL #Blowin'Smoke #WhatchaSmokin' #it'swhatIdo #PSSITA

Damn...now I'm hungry.
I have not been able to try those SPC blends yet, I do read a lot of good things about them however......Congrats again in your family addition.
@pwkarch Thank you sir!
