What Are You Smoking Pages.

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Peretti Ampersand Flake in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.

 

[David The Druid]

Smoking Sutliff Creamy Butterscotch out of my Peterson aran 150. Seen the new peterson shapes and I'm in love. Don't tell my wife.

 

[Singed]

Had a dental appointment today, all is well. My last was five years ago. Having a bowl of Old Professor in the MMBB with some green tea.

 

[Balisong]

Appetizer smoke is GLP Westminster in a Pride along with a glass of box wine.

 

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

 

[William Ziegler]

Smoking a Trinidad Cabinet Selection Churchill that's been in my humidor for many years aging. Excellent as the wind howls today.

 

[Eutychus]

It's a beautiful evening. I'm enjoying Wilke Lizzie Blood Red English in a 1994 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Mycroft with fishtail stem.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and mashed potatoes dinner with a bowl of French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I was happily surprised that I didn't gain much weight from yesterday's food massacre'. Anyway, I'm half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the last third of this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.

Jim, I couldn't help noticing that the art work for Jim's Special Flake features a critter who is an artist. Would this be a tip of the hat to our very own JimInks? I think that would be very cool!

 

[William Ziegler]

Needed another Churchill - Bauz
a - a beautiful cigar. Wind is finally settling down. Cool

and wet here.

Boswell Imperial English in a Peterson 2021 Halloween Pipe, a Rustic 302.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2018 D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to touch up the first two pages of this Archie story.

I have to admit it's true. I asked KBV to resurrect Brown Flek and Bright Flek because I wanted to dedicate two of the three Peterson Mark Twains that a friend gifted me to those blends. It took a little time to process them. He made a small tweak to Bright Flek, and as a tribute, renamed the blend Jim's Special Flake, and had a new label made for it. Since I have a Masters in Fine Arts as well as having a long comic book career, he put an easel and a hedgehog on the label to signal that it was "me". I was a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book artist for twenty-one years. What he did not know was that the only kind of sweaters that I wear are button ups. Seeing that was really cool. He also gave me a substantial amount of both blends, so I'm set for quite a while. Just a great act of kindness and respect.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am now smoking Peretti Blend W in a straight black sandblasted circa 1950s Comoy’s Peterson’s made for Peterson, Ltd. in Wisconsin billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Dinner is going to be a little later than anticipated. So on this momentous day, I'll grab a bowl of Choctaw in my Grandfather's Edwardian Henry Tounge Bulldog and give thanks to those who gave so much.

Thanks my friend. We owe so much to the greatest generation that gave so much to give us the freedom we have today.

Close to finishing this bowl of 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Been busy pricing original art pages for sale.

I enjoy much of the art work of the KBV tobaccos, although the only one I’ve purchased is Burley Morning Pipe (and I like that label). The JSF label is very well done (at least to my non-expert eye). But my favorite is the Stampede Kek label. I like it so much that I’ve given serious thought to buying some SK just because of the label. The whimsy of a frog depicted as a Native American chief being chased by herd of buffalo brings a smile to my face. I like how the buffaloes are blurred in order to give a short-lens effect to create a sense of depth (the JSF label uses the same technique). But I think I have as much to inform you about illustration as I do about tobacco.

60 degrees and clear here in the Ozarks. Sipping black coffee with PA in a Kerry Wathen volcano dated 1978.

 

[Eutychus]

Just returned from walking Jacksie. I smoked KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a BBB 204 “Dog-Lunter”. I’m now finishing that bowl with a cup of Colombian coffee. I’ll head out for breakfast with the Romeos after that.
