Nice pipe! I am looking forward to my Saturday afternoon of peace and quiet with a book and a pipe on the balcony. But first we are getting my daughter ready for her dancing competition.

Tonight I'm enjoying my Peterson "Kinsale" w/ some G. L. Pease "Barbary Coast"
This is fast becoming my favorite pipe tobacco. Mild, slightly sweet and flavorful.

Enjoying some 4noggins Double Fantasy in my Brigham #224 Bent Billiard with a large caffè americano. It's a beautiful day, though a touch chilly with the breeze.

Damn, i've tried it for few times now. If i ever thought that IF, BF or warrior plug were strong, i have to admit i was wrong, once again.
I have a 7 day vacation to begin, so i tried it tonight with some russian vodka from Oldenkott pipe. Now it seems that it is really good and tasty tobacco.
When i was a 12-13 yo kid, there was a Finnish twist tobacco named 'rajavartija' (=border guard). I tried it for few times back then, puked but this reminds me very much of it. Enjoying this time.
Enjoying some 4noggins Essence of Vermont in the clay. *No wind today and this is a smooth and flavourful smoke!

Well its pretty cheap to check out. I picked up a nice cob, 2oz tobacco, nail tool, matches, pipe cleaners and a chrome stand like jdto has in a lot of his shots for a hair over $20 bux. cob+tobacco around $12. Nice change from cigs if you just want to sit and enjoy a warm evening in a comfy lawn chair. drink in hand of course.
I am glad I got the cob too. even though I had a dr. grabow duke briar on its way. the cob smoked nice from the first bowl, to the one sitting in my car for the drive home from work. if i had waited and just tried the duke, it was harsher and really detrimental to the taste. I gave the duke its run with some other tobacco's. then same tobacco changing up between the cob and duke. I was actually giving the duke a kind of farewell smoke in my POTD pic, but out of left field it just seemed to smoke right that evening on the porch. So now I still gotta test and see if maybe it was just playin with me.

May, 1st...holiday in Germany
The firefighters organized a party.
We spoke with the Chief an he told us, next year the Glauchau-firestation has its 150th anniversary.
So it is a normal way to invite the firefighters from the sistercity Lynchburg, VA.
We talked also about a visit in Lynchburg. 5-6 firefighters from Glauchau will visit the firefighters in Lynchburg.

tomi if you're one of the ones coming over you will have to let me know. lynchburg is only about 2.5 hours from my place
I think you mean eTom or Tom or Thomas (me).
Thanks for the invitation. Maybe we'll visit our sistercity next year, but not with an official group. I am the Vice President of "Friends of Lynchburg". We organize all activities but don't take part in all the trips.
We let you know, if we come to Lynchburg.

Oh, nice! I need to pick up some of that Navy Flake from SG. I've read good things about it.
Guess you mean Thomas not me ;)
Anyways, i had few good mates playing ice hockey at the World Police and Fire games in New York at 2011. As the games were over and they were about to fly back home, all flights were cancelled because of the volcano ash over Iceland, giving them few days extra vacation (which they spent by visiting pubs & bars, mostly, but that is a different story and not suitable for family friendly site :confused:).
Here's just few pics from the neighborhood. Had my Jirsa pipe with me while walking the dogs:

And the doggies seem to get very upset by the lot of available goose meat but damn the fence:
