DOGBONE!
Love that one HJ.
DOGBONE!
Just a right amount of contrast between felt and ribbon work. Pairs well with the Modelo. Nice crease.
Thank you guys. It's Winchester 100, came open crown & it's so nice & soft; will do anything. Takes nice big elephant ear dents without touching my head. Sometimes I think about changing it up but have resisted the urge.DOGBONE!
Love that one HJ.

That’s a great looking hat. Love that cob too, I’ve always thought there was something special about the combination of fresh Virginia and corn cob. Old fav of mine. Enjoy your thoughts HJ.Morning cogitation under a 1989 Kevin O'Farrell Rancher drinking a Scooter's Shooter with a corn cob pipe.

Besides a Virginia I like a good cigar leaf in a narrow bore stacked cob. I keep a few MM cobs for canoeing on the water, mowing grass, anywhere were I could harm a good Briar pipe.That’s a great looking hat.

Thanks Joe! I like the Craigellachie label, a reprint of their 1891 label.Great pic!
Thanks Alan! I'm glad you like it & didn't waste your money. In my experience Laphroaig is the most medicinal of the Islay Scotches. If you think you like Islay's you might look into the Lagavulin & Ardbegs. Several are at the same price point as the Laphroaig 10. Try a dram after a good charcoal grilled or flame grilled ribeye steak.View attachment 362599 Following advice from some friends (thanks HJ and everyone else) I picked up this bottle of Laphroaig a few months back. Hadn’t opened it until Friday night. Just had a wee bit that night, and had already drunk some other drinks. The woody taste/smell seemed too much for me. The smell reminded me of a strong Latakia pipe tobacco. Anyway, I had a few fingers last night, with an open mind and a cleaner palate. Glad I did. I really enjoyed it.
You're certainly right about the medicinal but I was picking up some other pretty good notes that were enjoyable. Salt. Caramel. And a very big licorice on the finish. Next time I'm in a liquor store I'll pick up one of the others, if they have any. Couldn't find a single tequila that you recommended. I appreciate the tips, always.Thanks Alan!

And you're correct in that I love a good Syrian Latakia in an English blend.
PS: meant to add you posted a great pic & a great hat!
Kilchoman should be on anyone's Islay list too. For some reason I never think to get a bottle.Next time I'm in a liquor store I'll pick up one of the others, i
Last night on the Grit channel I watched the 1969 Clint Walker western movie, More Dead Than Alive. It reminded me just how good Clint Walker was.I listened to a July 43's Lone Ranger radio show. It was an enjoyable listen, "The Masked Man's Teacher." The vintage radio shows are a fun escape.
