Thank God and the nice helpful lady at the quarry, I found a guy with a single axle dump truck who can handle my other gravel hauling tasks and can spread it. So, I used today 's time off from work to return the rental trailer and wash my filthy truck. Gravel dust gets everywhere. I grew up a...

Been up since 4 am and working hauling limestone gravel to the bluff all day. Due to inaccessibility for dump trucks, the loads had to be hauled in a rented dump trailer, but I managed to get just 300 lbs shy of 12 tons. I'm pretty beat, but the Bluff Blend in an MM old beat up cob is lifting my...

Another bowl of Izmir in a Savory's Argyle prince shape pipe.

Earlier, I had Truck Blend in the Stetson Truck pipe. Now, smoking straight Turkish Izmir (probably Sutliff) in the Little Algerian.

Great looking rack Idle. What router bit type and size did you use for the bowl slots? I have some poplar I could use for one.

Thanks @Singed .Yep, that looks like a nasty one too and introduced. The article cites Michael Dirr, one of my favorite plant authors. I have a cherished 1980's edition of his "Manual of Woody Landscape Plants". I lost some blood on these pears today. The buckthorn species is interesting, in...

Working on the bluff where I cut down 2 4" diameter pear trees. These are an invasive from the rootstock of Bradford pears. I'm told originally the rootstock was a sterile variety, but the industry went to a cheaper non-sterile one. They spread by birds eating the fruit and pooping out seeds...

Hydration and snack break, so having more Bluff Blend.

Really nice high 60F temps this am, and I am working on the bluff smoking my work day Bluff Blend in an old beat up MM cob.

C&D Habana Daydream (reminds of Jimmy Buffet) in the Little Algerian. A nice little smoother touch to cap off the evening.

Being that I'm on a cigar blend streak, I opened the GLP Robusto, and, wow, what an interesting tin note. It reminds of something I've smelled of tobacco before-sort of aged and mature. Pease recommended a small bowl, so the Little Algerian is back in action. I like it because sometimes I just...

After having Warped Until the End in a billiard yesterday, I decided to try in my Savinelli Aged Briar Oscar, and it is smoking well.

Warped Until the End in the little Algerian. Mighty tasty.

On the bluff looking down at the creek through an opening in the fence row. In the back of my F150 in a folding camp chair with the little side table. I love simple things and times. On the menu is 2024 Steamworks in my first bought house pipe from B&G (Bowling Green) Pipes. This is a good cheap...

Having a bowl of Warped Cloudhopper in a Peterson rusticated standard system 302 with p-lip. I haven’t figured these Warped blends out yet for moisture and smoking the bowl down to mostly ash, but the Peterson seems to handle them well.

89F here, and did my dues yesterday in the yard weedeating, trimming shrubs abd pulling vines out of some shrub dogwoods. What a mess that was with most of the vines being "sweet autumn" clematis. I advise anyone thinking of planting this to learn the difference between the Asian variety, as I...

A short hiatus from the pipe due to a nasty respiratory virus, but on the mend. Having 2024 C&D Steamworks in a Peterson rusticated standard system 309 with p-lip, and overlooking Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee. I like the lake, but the Elk River, from which it is dammed, is much prettier. There is...

You might also consider something like Cotton Boll Twist which can be available in grocery stores. Yeah, it's a chewing tobacco, but these products used to be for dual use. I'm told they stopped putting references to smoking on the label due to the current smoking political climate. It is...

Just before some heavy rain, I had some Bluff Blend on the bluff.

One thing nice about GLP is he wrote things about his blends in "Briar & Leaf Chronicles". This helped me decide on a cigar blend of his, Robusto over Key Largo, because he talked about the type of cigar leaf in each. He will also sometimes recommend how to prepare it and shows use of some...
