What Are You Smoking? - August 2019.

Comoys Cask no 4 in a Peterson Summertime B10

50/50 Penny Farthing/Five Brothers in my usual.

Relaxing after a wonderful pork chops and chicken alfredo dinner with a slice of peach pie for dessert. Close to finishing this bowl of Watch City 4th Nun Returns in a 2003 medium bend straight grain Viggo Nielsen sitter with a Cumberland-like lucite stem.

Good evening, guys. Smoking Peterson Irish Flake in a Savinelli Spinosa 320 KS with water on the side.

Took a short snooze and am now smoking early 1970s MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit and pearl gray acrylic stem. Working and listening to the rest of the ball game.

Not far from finishing up this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

Now smoking McClelland 5100 in a smooth straight WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Vauen Himalaya Blend one of the first two pipes I got from Scroogy. It's a thin stemmed sort of squat Rhodesian. I happen to love those two pipes as they are similar to princes in shape.

I'm liking the blend, but it has a liqueur sting to it that I am not totally down with. It takes some away from the fruitiness

Just finished work and this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking C&D Virginia/Oriental in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. I may finish the day with this smoke.

Good morning from Greece and the sunny Athens with 86 °F



Davidoff Argentina Cavendish.

Yorktown in a Lakeland Ghosted cob

Almost half way through his bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Simply Apple is my drink.

Now smoking Condor RR in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend with a yellow stem.

Greetings. Esoterica Dunbar in a MM Polished Morgan cob with a blue and white swirl Forever Stem. Usual beverages. Hope your day is a good one.

A minute or two away from smoking 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.

Off to have lunch with an old friend. Riding with me will be Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Shortcut to Mushrooms now, in the ol' Falcon with a rusticated apple bowl. Cool water pairs.

A toast to @Dramatwist from counterpart with Shortcut to Mushrooms... Cheers!

Back home and smoking Art’s Virginia in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth rhodesian meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Watching the Astros-Rays game.

Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin... because I had a craving for pure unadulterated tobacco goodness. A very fine shag that burns fast and hot if not patient... but patient puffing rewards with a flavor bomb that meets desire for flavor much more than half way... nothing else like it!!!

Finishing a fast delicious Le Petit Robin smoke and prepping a follow up in a baby briar with Peter Heinrichs Curly Block...

Comoy's Cask #2 in a apple fake morta. Iced tea on the side.

Part way through this bowl of Amphora Original (Brown) in a medium bend dark brown 2017 Don Warren 17 smooth straight grain rough top Dublin with a multi-brown cumberland stem and ferrule in the military mount style.

Moving on speedily from one to the next... now, Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture... because I'm in no hurry to take it slow.
