A quarter of the way through a freshly opened tub of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight black sandblasted, smooth dark brown top bowl 2021 Jim Brown stack bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I traded art work to Jim for this pipe. Tomato the Brave is by my side.

My first pipe of the day. A busy day of cleaning and rearranging our stuff in the container. I washed five buckets of eggs. That gets old outside. Folding lots of laundry and making it so I can get at my tobacco and pipes. All done and it's much better.
I'm going to relax and smoke a bowl of C&D Engine #611 in a Parker Gent. Watching Dune on Netflix.
Then I'm going to smoke another engine, maybe #99 maybe #113 and think about dessert.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2024 Sir Walter Raleigh in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Ismail made this meer for me as a token of friendship. Working on an update of my review to add my thoughts on this current version.

Starting some Bayou Morning in my little Lorenzetti to go with my second coffee. Another outrageous tariff bill on an order, 367.00 on 16 oz of tobacco. Will send it for immediate reassessment, expecting 200.00 back. Incompetence is unforgiveable in a federal institution. Know your tariff laws.

EZ, send them off to Smokers Haven in New York. They do great work at a very reasonable cost. Just call them.

I grieve for you and the others in your boat.
 
@MLBbreton does max have two different coloured eyes? The picture looks that way, right eye grey and left eye brown. Sorry to hear you're being swamped with rain. When you work outside to make a living it can really be rough in cold damp weather.

I had a 4 hour nap after a meager lunch. I'm having a bowl of Haunted Bookshop in my Bones Dublin to try and snap myself out of lethargy. Cafe Cuba, too.
The Bayou Morning was really good, a very smooth VaPer, lots of Red Virginia and Perique with a studied hand. A big change from Exclusive, which is half perique and very spicy, might be better called a PerVa. That being said, I like it, too.

May I ask where you got the fancy tamper/pick

It is what it is GM, I'm used to paying about 350.00 a lb for import orders: that includes exchange for the product and shipping (+/- 100) and tariffs/duty (+/- 250). When the tariff and duty are so grossly miscalculated I just send a reassessment request showing the miscalculation by CBSA and get a refund. The annoying thing is that process takes 2 months, and that 1 in 3 of my shipments is miscalculated. I mention it more to caution our members to be aware of the import regulations and to let them know what to expect. All that said, ordering from the USA is still 40% lower than buying from a local shop. That may change with recent developments in international trade between Canada and the USA, particularly in light of the recent dissolution of leadership in our current ruling party and it may change with the departure of Sutliff/MacBaren to STG. Gonna be a rough ride for the next year, hang onto your pipe. :oops:
