Decided to start early, as rain is coming later…Oliva V Melanio, a PS Knob Creek, and a fire, is setting things up for a fine next couple of hours. This fireplace is a dream! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awhile back I almost bought a house that had one of those but for other reasons I didn't pull the trigger on that house. This reminds me that I could just install one for myself at my current place; however I don't think my current back yard has the extra space. At least not without convincing Mrs. Kep anyway. But someday! 3 hours ago, Sven Heuchert said: This fireplace is a dream! Thanks, fellas. I’ve built a lot of hardscaping, built walls, patios, fences, etc., in the 35 years we’ve been in the house, but the fireplace is my favorite. My wheelbarrow has gotten a lot of use, and I claim the neighborhood record of most 80 lbs bags of concrete hand mixed in it. LOL! A lot of ideas, plans, strategies, have been hatched in front of that fire over the years, and I think it really makes me smarter, particularly with a couple bourbons and cigars while ruminating… It particularly shows well in the Fall. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive, Joe. Years ago, I thought about trying something like that. Bought a palette of stone and did many pages of sketches. The stone became rip rap on a lake bank, and the paper sketches became firestarter. I envy your ability to carry-on. The pots? Ace hardware had some like that. Wife puts her mums in them every Fall. I put last years' humus in the compost bin every Spring. when I dump them. Did I say I am impressed? Well, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 48 degrees, dark, dreary, and light rain. Yuck. Going to think warm thoughts and puff away on a RP Sun Grown Maduro and enjoy the blooming daffodils in the garden. Springs coming!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 These have been my "go-to" as of late. They're a little overpriced, for my cheap ass, but they go on sale a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Fell off the non-smoking wagon AGAIN! Twenty years clean went South last month. Bought a new Jeep with the savings over those twenty years. But, that's another story. Today, it was a Montecristo White Series 5X52 (Rothschilde/Robusto). I have three left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
