Happy Friday everyone! This was yet another fast work week and the summer is really winding down...unfortunately. As the cooler it gets, the more likely I'll have to move my smoking location on the deck to the garage--will need to find a comfortable chair since all I have are bar stools there and sitting on 'em ain't gonnna cut it! Anyhow, I'm starting my morning with a new tin of Dunhill Nightcap in my Vauen Ascot pipe. The tobacco is a light brwon Virgina blend with darker brown Perique in ribbon cut form. It smells of delicious Latakia...the campfire aroma that ya'll know I love, so you know I was looking forward to a bowl! I lit it with my IM Corona Old Boy and tamped it with my Plateau Briar Tamper but immediately felt the tongue bite. That later faded which is a good thing. The room note had a BBQ pit aroma as someone labeled and the full smoke was also noted. I could taste a very light hint of sweetness (cooked sweet meat) so I would consider this a mild smoke. It got better towards the end and I really can't complain about the overall experience of this tobacco. On a non-tobacco related topic, the background of the photo is a pencil drawing of my brother-in-law Bobby who is the Fire Chief of Fairmont City, Illinois. It was created as an invitation for his surprise 50th Birthday. My nephew Brandon wants to give it to his dad as a Christmas gift so I signed it and will be getting it framed soon. Anyhow, that's all for now...enjiy your Friday pipe smokers!!
