What Are You Smoking Pages.

This morning's Match Ready Rubbed was simple but quite enjoyable. I'm now enjoying Arango Balkan Supreme in a Peterson Dublin Edition 999. I'm drinking Colombian Coffee and doing some more prep for the chess tournament on Sat.

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of pre-2014 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. Getting a late start to my day. Fed all the ferals. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Truck Blend with Half and Half in the Stetson Truck pipe.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink. Watching Night Court.

Sitting out in the gazebo during a heavy shower. I took out a bent MM Pride and filled it with GLP Horizon's Flake.

I really like to smoke on the porch/deck/stoop while it's raining.

Byzantium in my Tomato-meer with a Tyskie.

Also smoking on the porch on a rainy day at home. Having some Half and Half in an MM diplomat bent apple with Busch NA beer.

The rain stopped but it was too wet to get any outdoor work done so I cleaned the aquarium. After picking a few handfuls of blueberries and a couple of cherry tomatoes for a snack I'm back in the gazebo with GLP Westminster in a Rob Roy.

Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes. The other estate pipe I've been cleaning seems cleaned, but I still smell a mild sweetness in the bowl. Guess I'll salt and alcohol the bowl again.

An R.L. Winston WT 8' 4wt and the dregs of a pouch of Figgy Pudding in the SH Original. Looks like prolly one more pipeful in the pouch; luckily I've several more cellared ...

After a delicious meal of New Mexico style stuffed sopapillas, I'm relaxing on the patio with Wilke Lizzie Blood Red English in a Hardcastle's Crown bent billiard with saddle stem, a glass of lemonade and a book.

A third of bowl left of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

A third of a bowl left of Watch City SEPC McClouxgaroux 2023 in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

After a dinner of salmon, periods and brown rice with quinoa I'm enjoying KBV Study in Scarlet in a bent MM Let Freedom Ring along with a cup of coffee.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, cod and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of year 2018 Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1918 Pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 2 apple with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Awww... that is great to see. Just wonderful! They sure have gotten big; a hallmark of great and loving care. I knew you and your lady would be the greatest parents for them.

Every time Jim posts about his chicken leg dinners, I picture a nursing home full of amputee chickens wheeling down the hall.

A third of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s (Comoy’s) Corinthian Sutliff San Francisco London Made 36 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I've waited a long, long time to smoke this old pipe which is likely a 1920s production, but I wanted something special for it, and decided on the blend named for me. I wanted to dedicate a second pipe for this blend, and now I have. I need take a better photo of it since it's a tad darker than what you see.

I win a lot of money betting on those races, too.

Enjoyed a tasty Cosmic Crisp apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a 2002 medium bend smooth brown Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic saddle stem.
