What's up, Brother!

I've been in hibernation for the winter! As I am an outdoor piper, it's just been too stinkin' cold to stand outside, or even to sit in the shed. I've had maybe 4 pipe sessions at the cigar lounge by my work, but it's not very convenient to my schedule, plus I always have to buy something there to pay the rent on my butt in their chair.

Looking at a week of 70°+ temps this week, and I'm working from home today, so I think a pipe will be certainly had today.

I've also had time to think about pipes, and I've come to a slow realization that 'sublime smokes' come just as often in cobs as briars, and with $7 pouch tobacco as $25 tins. So I might just enjoy the pipes I already have on my rack, and stop chasing after the 'perfect' flavor of tobacco. I ordered a 7oz can of Velvet the other day to stock up. It was the first tobacco that I really liked.
 
Good morning,
Smoking a Pete SH Strand with Lane LL-7,Mug of DD coffee. I occasionally smoke Velvet,it`s a pretty good blend if you like Burley. I tend to go with sweeter aromatics. I am surprised to not getting any responses on the Pete Hudson that I am trying to get opinions on.

Well said! I'll have a bowl of Velvet in a cob when I get home from work, Cheers!
 
Continuing with GLP Westminster, this time in an estate Mastercraft Fisherman. This was a gift from a friend along with a Comoy Prince that I'll be trying out later.

Half way through this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Going to see which ferals are outside after this post. It's going to be a very busy day, which is no complaint. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I'm catching up on the news with GLP Westminster in this morning's Rob Roy. I made a GLP order with smokingpipes.com, they're taking 20% off his blends through the beginning of next week!
