What Are you Smoking 07/2019?

Erinmore Flake in the Charatan's Make Freehand Relief. 100% pineapple juice accompanies. Good pairing.

About a third of a bowl left of Cannon Plug in a 2014 straight MM Missouri Pride Legend with a black stem.

Mowed the lawn before, which meant a bowl of Sutliff Aromatic English, and then RLP-6. Both in an MM Country Gentleman. Mowing day is aromatic day.

Just finishing the last of my stash of C&D Happy Hour in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic stem. Watching the All Star Game pre-show.

Now smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. This will get me to dinner time.

Smoked multiple bowls of Erinmore Flake today- My last just a few minutes ago.  I really like it.  In fact, when my Cardiff is empty, this will be taking over that specific niche in my rotation.

The top note when retro-haled, reminds me specifically of the hand soap my best friend's mom used to have in their bathroom.  Soft Soap, I believe.  Years of memories in every puff.  Washing my hands for lunch and smelling them on my way out to the porch for salami sandwiches and iced tea-  Maybe a Little Debbie afterward, then we'd head back to the woods for a day of sunburn and chipmunk slaying.

I'm guessing Voodoo Queen is a perique-heavy blend? haha

Actually, it's not that bad. Its mellow and everything mingles nicely with eachother. When I first ordered it, i was honestly expecting a lot more perique.

I havent smoked any in a while because all of my jars are cellared for later. I picked up 8 oz last week and I dont see this bag lasting too long.

Waiting on this triple digit heat index to at least get down to 99. Once that happens I have a bowl of Marble Kake waiting for me.

Sounds nice.  I am working through a lot of tins at the moment and I'm at capacity with jars, I'll have to add it to the list.

CD London Squire (The New ABS... Really) in MMCG

Whenever my new bank card shows up I'm ordering a few more pounds of it.... stupid ATM froze on me the other day. I've been on a mission to smoke through my "currently smoking" jars and cleared 14 of them by Sunday. The problem is, I now have 18 jars that are staring at me telling me to fill them up.

Was able to finish my Bayou Morning since the rain stopped for 30 minutes.

Pumpkin Spice/London Squire in MMHW
Sublime

Relaxing after a wonderful rack of baby back ribs and a baked potato with a big bowl of freshly made peach cobbler and two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Now smoking a year 2001 Bolivar Churchill made at a small island. Watching the All Star game.

Nice.  My new thing is carrying the same few blends everywhere.  Variety is nice, but I am enjoying blends differently now that I have been smoking them more exclusively.  At camp I smoked nothing but Elizabethan and ABF all week, so they really developed and imprinted on me. I'd like to get that indepth with all my blends and start weeding out my cellar.  Really focusing on what I like.

OGS Ina shop pipe.

Part way through this bowl of Wessex Gold Slice in a black straight, grain etched family era (Post WW2) Four Dot Sasieni “Appleby” apple with a tapered vulcanite stem. Not much hitting tonight, which seems to be typical of recent All Star games.

Changing it up with Aged Frog Morton Cellar in the London Castle author. Cool water. Vodka shot. Watching political crap on the tube.

That's how I managed to empty 14 jars last week. I took them off of my bookshelf and lined them up on my desk. I'd grab a jar and smoke it until it was gone. It sort of worked. My bookshelf is now mostly reds

Marble Kake in a Legend since I cant sleep.

Sutliff J4 Burley in a shop pipe.

I've gotten pretty good with the Frank Method and I'm feeling cocky, so..

Working on the 'Fold N Stuff' method with Orlik in my Viking Skagen bent billiard.


Three minutes in and this pipe is gurgling.  I'm gonna official change its name to 'Merman'  For those of you familiar with the He Man cartoon..

Smoking GH Bosun Cut Plug in a MM General with water on the side. Sipping Stoli with a dill pickle, because I'm out of olives. Doesn't quite work.

Now smoking Wessex Classic Virginia Brigade in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Going to work now.

I used to be quite fond of Jamesons with a pickle juice back, back in my bar days.

Wonder what it would be like with a strong, dark, pickled onion, like Hayward's or one of the other British brands? 

Well, chaps.  I am happy to say my fold and stuff attempt was a success.  Enough so that some of the intimidation is gone.  Pipe even smoked dry after the first swab!  Good ol' Merman..

Packing up some Shortcut in a cob now and heading to the porch to enjoy the night.  I'm thinking I'll also pack my SlowRoll with Sansepolcro while I'm out there. I was talking about the pipe earlier and its on my mind.

Dont hear much from that dude of late, but he sure made me a fine smoker.



Goodnight, fellas

Had some old Sutliff Aged Maduro this evening in a Peterson Kelly. Really pleasant, easy-going smoke.

And welcome to the new guys!
