What Are You Smoking? - August 2019.

Now smoking the last of this sample of Robert McConnell Paddington in a 1970's medium bend big bowl rusticated Sienna colored Savinelli Estella with a pearl grey saddle stem. Reading baseball box scores.

Watch City Simply Red in my BP PotY.

'Mornin', guys. Molto Dolce in a MM Polished Morgan cob with a blue/white swirl Forever Stem. Peet's espresso and low-sodium V8 on the side. Local news on the tube.

About a third of a bowl left of old Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. A bottle of Boylan's Birch Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Almost time for Mad Dog Russo's show, though he's on vacation this week.

Relaxing after a tasty grilled cheese sandwich and m'lady's creamy tomato soup with a couple of scoops of strawberry ice cream for dessert. Part way through this bowl of Robert McConnell Black Flake in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Have enough for one more bowl.

...up from a nap, waking with a bowl of C&D Crooner in the ol' Savinelli Bing's Favorite (which is much better than the current version... I bought a new one, took it out of the box and immediately sold it... the older one is a lot closer to what Der Bingle smoked, and the golf club logo has worn off.) Cool water pairs...

Sun Bear in a GBD New Era 122.

Now smoking C&D Small Batch Sun Bear in a tan sandblasted medium bend 2001 Rinaldo Sahara 2 Acorn round at the shank, pointy at the opposite top with a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.

Now smoking Watch City VaPer Test Sample #1 in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

Now smoking Watch City Roanoke in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. I hear thunderstorms moving into our area.

Great Outdoors now, in the trusty Falcon with a Rusticated Apple bowl. Better than the original "Field and Stream." Sweet, but not too sweet. Cool water pairs.

558 in my Stanwell Black Diamond 404.

Checking out the 2019 Savinelli St. Nicholas Pipes... trying hard to convince myself that I DONT NEED a 614

About a third of the way through this bowl of 1950s Rum & Maple Tobacco Company Rum & Maple Mixture Blend No. 53 in a medium bend egg 2017 Royal Meerschaum Dragon meer with a black and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Braves and Mets play soon.

102 today in sunny southeast Texas, feels like 111.
Now smoking a bowl of MacBaren Vanilla Flake in a Mr. Brog pear wood #43 Kentucky small pot. I think this is the third time I have smoked this pipe after owning it for 5 years. Smokes great, I just have too many other choices.
Iced tea on the side.

After Sous Vide Chuck & Rice, John Bull in Tom Thumb

Relaxing after a wonderful pineapple topped pork loin roast with green beans, and mac'n cheese on the side. Dessert was a hot fudge sundae. Now smoking Wessex Burley Slice in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and a black ebonite military bit tapered stem.

Now smoking Dunhill Elizabethan Match in an old favorite smooth 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Smoking Dunhill Royal Yacht in a Savinelli 644 Bent Brandy with water on the side. Watching The Dark Knight (2008).

Now smoking Robert McConnell Shakespeare in a 1980 medium bend black sandblasted silver band Peterson Donegal 805 Bulldog and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Working and listening to the Pirates-Angels game.

Listening this a few minutes early: D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Before, Natural Dutch Cavendish in a little rusticated pot. Now, OGS in the same pipe.

Now smoking Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking Watch City Off the Rails in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo carving on the shank and a black acrylic stem.

"Jack Knife Plug" in the JB Devil Anse Stack. Cool water on the side. Still binge-watching the original "Dark Shadows" daytime soap. About halfway through the 1225 episodes.

Not far from finishing this bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic stem. I did finish work for the day, though.
