What Are You Smoking Pages.

Pre dinner smoke of C&D St. Patrick's Day Reserve. This isn't bad but it's a bit too sweet for me. Mostly topping without much tobacco taste coming through. May try to spice it up by mixing with some burley. Ice water and bergs on the side.

Tonight we went vegetarian with zucchini pancakes, cappressi salad and Brazilian cheese bread. Hard cider was/is the beverage and Kensington in a Pride completes the meal!

And someone said, 'Never the Twain (sic) shall meet'!

"Rattray's Hal o' the Wynd versus Smoky Match in CAO Mark Twain and Sam Clemens meerschaums. I was saving the Hal o' the Wynd for a special occasion, but now that it's back in stock, today's the day. My match blend was just a guess based on their description and my memory, but it holds up very well.

I've always like the forward cant of that pipe. I'm guessing it is a good smoker.

Yeah, it makes a funny looking apple! It was a replacement I got from Marty Pulvers for another Amorelli that broke in two.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, two giant French cut pork chops (almost two pounds) and a freshly made large amount of mashed potatoes with a bowl of neapolitan ice cream topped with sliced almonds for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a straight sandblasted black post-1938 (Comoy’s) Made in England Ancestor bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to work soon to complete this Archie story.

Listing this a few minutes early: Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Still working on Hal o' the Wynd, it is smoother and more subtle than my Smoky Match, but the tastes are fairly the same. I found this video on mining meerschaum that I found interesting. The same channel has another video on carving that is equally good. They're pulling big chunks of meerschaum out of the ground. They don't handle it like you would a pipe!

Now smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Even though it's been raining for a while, the ferals were here and hungry. I gave them enough food to last them a while.

Now smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Straight Virginia Blendbase in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

Finished that job, and am almost finished smoking year 2018 Mac Baren Acadian Perique in a straight smooth brown 1933-36 KBB Yello-Bole Honey Cured Briar 2384 Acorn with a tapered yellow rock ambra stem. A snack follows this smoke.

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Spent some time with the ferals, and doing a bit of reading. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.

Good morning everyone. It's CS Shepherds Pie in a Randy Wiley freehand bent dublin with morning coffee. Nice right now but going to be hot later, high of 95. Our day to muck and feed at HwH. Will be tired when we get home.

 

[Charley Scanlan]

A latakia/perique (Jewel of Macedonia) in a grape leaf meerschaum my sister found at a thrift store, maybe ten years ago. Nice little pipe.

We've got plans to do dinner and a movie, Oppenheimer is playing tonight.

 

[Balisong]

Good Morning!
Starting today with the third of the four Apple Diplomats in my collection, the oldest, and continuing with GLP Westminster as my EMP. Coffee to go with it!

 

[Balisong]

I forgot to hit post on the previous entry!
I took a Pride filled with GLP Odyssey on the feed store run. The feed's now in buckets, I have shavings for the stalls, and, I finally ate breakfast! Back to the Odyssey.

Carter Hall in a Tinsky half bent Rhodesian. Another cup of coffee. Finally a break from
the one hundred degree weather we have this past week.
