What Are you Smoking 07/2019?

Relaxing after a wonderful Korean chicken dinner with freshly made chocolate pudding for dessert with a bowl of early 1970s MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit and pearl gray acrylic stem.

Now smoking Old Dark Fired in a quarter bend 1970s GBD Prehistoric Rhodesian 9438 with a perspex saddle stem.

Smoking Nightcap Match in a Chateau bruyere bent pot. First time having this

Before, Sutliff VA Slices in a small rusticated pot. Now, Carter Hall in the same pipe.

Just finishing this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s 71th Street in a light brown 1979 rusticated medium bend Italian Sir Jeffrey Dublin sitter with a flared top and yellow saddle stem.

Now smoking Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to the MLB trade talk.

Close to finishing 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.

Part way through this bowl of year 2014 MacBaren Acadian Perique 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.

Almost finished smoking Mac Baren Amphora Kentucky Blend in a 1980s Peterson 314 three quarter bend black sandblast system pipe with a nickel ferrule, black vulcanite stem and the p-lip.

Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Have a little more work to do.

Half way through this bowl of 1999 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 1970s smooth medium bend Savinelli Autograph 5 Dublin with a pearl brown lucite ferrule and stem. This will finish my smoking day.

Bayou Morning in the BP PotY

Not far from finishing this bowl of Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Now smoking old Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

Now smoking 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. This will get me to lunch time. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

Beautiful, cool morning here by the San Francisco Bay. I'll begin with a bowl of Magnum Opus in the W.O. Larsen Super with a sterling band. Cool water, espresso and a low-sodium V8 will help get the motor running. Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Nice hot humid day here in Humble Texas with the ExxonMobil refinery on fire up the road. Just smoked another bowl of Vanilla Flake in the Don Warren morta bent pot with coffee on the side. Headed to Galveston to see the BIL one last time probably. He was just transferred from prison to the hospital down there with tonsil cancer that has metastasized to his lungs.

Relaxing after a tasty cheese burgers and hand cut fries lunch, and am almost a quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City VaPer Test Sample in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Billiard bowl with a long Canadian shank and vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded.

swra n magic inch bent billiard

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke #44 in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

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. Nats just tied the game against the Braves in the 9th. The Braves bullpen is really lousy. They go to the 10th now.

Fellas, I had to do it... broke open an '07 tin of Penzance... smoking it in the ever-reliable JB Devil Anse Stack. Rich, but with a light citrus sweetness. Sipping a vodka shot. It's 5 o'clock somewhere...

Now smoking year 2014 MacBaren Acadian Perique 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. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. The Braves picked up a couple of good relief pitchers at the deadline. They have to be better than the lead arms they're replacing.

Sweet Cask in a Lady M Cob

About a quarter of a bowl left of MacBaren Golden Extra in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem. Taking a work break as big thunder boomers sound off across the sky.
