It's a pretty darn good day here. The sun is out and isn't afraid to
shine. Beautiful blue sky and temperatures in the 60s. A little nippy
but all in all very pleasant.
The Pete had some Old Gowrie smoldering earlier. A wonderful smoke.
Just now I finished a Bali Red roll-up.
Tomorrow I'm going to pay a car dealership a visit. The bank has given
me the go-ahead, so we're going to see what we like, take a few test
drives and hopefully end up with a set of wheels within a week. At 29,
this will be the first vehicle I will own, and man am I looking
forward to it.
Good vibes from Malmoe to the rest of ASP. Make sure you compliment at
least one person today - karma works.
With kind regards,
Lars

It's 51F and raining/drizzling here in central Massachusetts. It
supposed to clear up later. I sure hope it does. It's the height of
rhododendron and azalea season here. My pipe-smoking buddy and I are
taking my wife and his girlfriend out to lunch, then we're going to a
park not far from here. It has thousands of the afore-mentioned
flowers growing alongside a stream, complete with an old mill. When
they're in bloom, it looks like an impressionist painting come to life.
Still working on coloring my carved meer. I'm smoking some Lane's
A-100 mixed with Prince Albert. It's somewhat like my own blend, but
not as good. I need to pick up some McClelland's 2010 to mix a new
batch of my own. I'm getting pretty low and it needs about a month to
meld properly.
This is a good day to remember World War II. On this day in 1940,
German forces entered Paris. On this day in 1942, the battle of Midway
began. On this day in 1944, U.S. Troops entered Rome, while in England
the Allies started boarding ships for the invasion of France.
Born on this date were two women who made me think about sex in
different ways: 1944 - Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas,
who looked pretty hot when she was in her twenties and I was just
entering puberty, and in 1928 - Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
Have a good day everyone,

sampler in my clay cutty. Great smoke. Ed.... might take your advice
and try the Vanilla. I'm finding the clay and my cobs are perfect so
far with the sampler. Had a ball yesterday grilling at my son's 30
birthday cookout. Saw a lot of relatives, friends,and enemies. Gonna
spend the rest of the day vegetating,and resting. Iced green tea in a
thermos pail, looking at Lee Van Cleef's meerchaum in "For a Few
Dollars More". Looks like a Barling calcified meer. Saw somewhere on
this site exactly what it is. etc. CRS kicking in. Have a blessed one
all.

Good morning, Ed, and yiz Aspians. This morning it's Three Friars in
the Peterson meer. Still feeling the need for more shut - eye. Have a
pleasant Sunday, pipesters.
Puff puff,
Buck

I'm feelin' the same way, Buck. I'm supposed to do about 9 things
today (grad parties, go to the mountains, visit a friend), but I may
end up blowing everything off and taking it easy.
Now it's some 8-year aged Escudo in a Jorn bent brandy, with homeroast
on the side.

sunny morning--48 degrees and no wind. I'm smoking Old Joe Krantz in a
Savinelli Roma with hot tea and the New York Times on the side. I'm
almost ashamed to admit it, but I enjoy this Savinelli with the balsa
filter. Filters seem to be frowned upon, and I only have two pipes that
use them, but this pipe always gives me a cool, dry smoke, and I think
the filter must have something to do with that.

Well, its afternoon here now, but close enough I guess. I'm going to take
it easy this afternoon and spend some time reading a good book (The Darkness
and the Dawn by Thomas Costian) while I puff on the next pipe in my
rotation: a Caminetto Bent Bulldog filled with SG's St James Flake. I'm
liking this tobac seriously! But, I still have a few other VA/Pers that I
want to test before settling on *one* to add to the cellar. Others waiting
at this time are: Escudo (which I always hated, but wanted to give another
shot), Wessex Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut (really looking forward to that
one), a Fresh tin of Haddos, and an old favorite that I have not smoked for
about three years: Solani #633. This is all part of my idea of broadening
my depth of tobaccos in the cellar. Right now I already have about a 7 year
supply of VAs, a 8-10 year supply of Burleys, a 5-6 year supply of Englishes
(or American Englishes), plus lots of other stuff ... my goal is to cellar
as much tobacco while funds permit and then sit back and laugh when the
antis tax the heck out of it in the future. This plan is working
wonderfully, I'm just now beginning to dig into some of the cellared VAs and
they're all at the 1+ year old mark ... and they taste so darn yummy!!!!!
