First try of HU Dockworker's (courtesy of a fine brother here) after work, in the Tinsky '15 POTY. Sure do love that pipe, and the 'baccy is no slouch either!

Have some aged 2015 w/15% added p-weed chillin' for after supper. The estate Sav Punto Oro Author seems to love this blend.


Cheers,

RR

28th October 1940 - 28th October 2016

Today is one of the greatest days in Greek History.That date at 1940 the Fascist italian army with a massive support from the albanians invaded to my country at 5.00 am.
Our Military Governor I.Metaxas had prepared and planned everything, first the made an "elastic" defence and soon we counter-attacked according to his schedule. The italians were thousands more than us with tanks, hundreds of air planes, mountain and field artillery, had support and guide from the albanians and in their buckles had the "soldato di morto" logo. As defenders they faced the Greek Army, the Royal Constabulary and the EON [Youth of I. Metaxas] with low quality equipment, only mountain artillery, no tanks at all, much less air planes, old rifles.
We fought for our Country, our Religion, our Families! We destroy them and liberated again the North Epirus while the "rooster wings" Fascists were running like chickens.
Those cowards in the beginning were saying that Mediterranean Sea was "mare nostrum" ["Our Sea"], they claimed that only with a fart can destroy our defence bunkers, Μussolini claimed that next week he would be in Athens drinking his coffee. Few years latter his "makaroni" soldiers with a stupid smile in their face were selling their rifles to the Greeks saying "una faccia una razza" and "bella Grecia" trying to save themselves from the crimes that they did. Do you know what was the treatment from Germans each time they were meeting a "rooster wing" italian? Massive kicks from the whole squad so each ex "soldato di morto" became a disgraced chicken with many stamps from boots in his butt.​​

Today in Greece we have some descendants of these italian-albanian losers claim that their grandfathers:
"was not in the Fascist army, he didn't fought those days, he desert to your army, was in Resistance" and other stupid excuses. There are like the same crappy excuses that the generals of Mussolini told him for their defeat:
"the range of the Greek canons was longer, they had superiority in air-force, the weather conditions were very bad in our side, had many tanks and new rifles".
ALL of these comments are silly and lies, they were more than us with better equipment, they attacked first without any reason under the banner or "Fascio" but we fought under the Blue banner with the White Cross and send them to Hell, the Greeks WON !

I will raise my pipe and my coffee to the memory of those brave Greek men and women, Army and Citizens. All of them fought like real Heroes and thanks to them we are free now!
God rest their souls, we will always remember and honour them.
Long live EON and the Royal Constabulary
Long live Greek Army.​​

My first cup of coffee and pipe of the day is in Honor of the Greek Military Forces overthrowing the Fascist Italian army on this day in 1940. My Dad, Rest in Peace always had this comment about the Italian army during WWII:
" During WWII the Italian army was the " only " army have tanks with ONE gear forward and TWELVE gears in reverse, they were cowards "! At the end of WWII Mussolini and his wife got exactly what they deserved, they were hung upside down in their home town and stoned to death by people from all over Italy. May those fascists ROT in HELL, along with ALL of the Nazi regime!

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

 
Going to sample a blend I made 6 months ago:

Burley Maple Crumb Kake: pressed for 6 months

Pipe of choice: HS Studio black rusticated poker pipe

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
 
Starting off my smoking day with Rich Dark Flake in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. A bottle of Mist Twst is my drink.
 
My Maple Crumb Kake was excellent, next time I will smoke this blend will be in 3 years.

Now preparing for my next pipe full:
Solani ABF in my Bjarne Apple with carving around the upper bowl portion and a bent stem. Great pipe for clenching or holding.

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
