Some Ansteads Sherlock this morning

 

[Segovia]

Rattray's Hal O' The Wynd in a very nice Rattray Lobster bent billiard that I just bought. Limited edition, I have no. 94 out of 100 made, but not absurdly expensive. No fills that I can see, beautiful sterling band. The only catch is that it is a 9mm filter pipe, but I've gotten to like those after having bought a couple of Butz-Choquin d'Argent filter pipes lately that were a little cheaper but comparable quality.

Earlier, HOTW in a Pete Standard System 305 Dublin that I'd put away a few years ago and forgot I even owned. It was just one of 40 pipes that I retired to get down to a more manageable 100.

At the moment, I am enjoying a Partagas Serie D robusto accompanied by a drop of Martell VSOP. Nice combination.

Nice pipe (don't know the tobacco) and nice story to go with my Sunday morning coffee,  but I have to ask: is that sludge or motor oil in your cup??  :lol:

The pipe is modified [rustic and paint job plus new mouthpiece], the coffee was a double espresso but due to the transfer from the machine outside to the tables [there is a road between] the waitress shake it a little bit.

Evening everyone. I actually opened up a tin of FVF that was purchased in August '02 and stuffed some in a Stanwell freehand that I've owned for more than 20 years. Apparently this is my nostalgia night.

Upon opening the tin, I was surprised to find the tobacco at a proper humidity level, and the flakes had beautiful crystals on them. This is the oldest pipe tobacco I've ever smoked, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. But I have smoked much newer vintages of FVF, so I at least have a base to compare the taste and burn qualities of it to. In my amateurish evaluation, I found it to be very smooth and slow-burning. The richness of this tobacco is off the charts, and the ash was bright silver.

I'm not sure what prompted me to save this tin all these years, nor do I know why I decided that tonight was when it would get christened. But it was an absolutely incredible smoke. Here are a few pics.
