What Are You Smoking Pages.

[Chris Smith]

Nightly it's C&D Evening Pipe. Smooth and smokes cool. Perfect with bourbon or coffee. Lighter on the nicotine side, at leastforme. Love the red Virginia Cavendish with maple casing.

As far as which pipe I use depends on my rotation.

Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. It's time to feed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. All the ferals are outside.

A quick early morning pipe today. EMP in a tiny savinelli minuto that i was gifted and reshaped a bit to better suit my tastes. Along with a nice coffe. Mushu is drinking in the background.

Salutes from Athens-Greece, we have sun with few clouds and from time to time light rain with 45 'F.
Note: i forgot to mention in my previous post the 2 tricks that the ''Hygienists" use trying to intimidate us.
1) the pretend that they coughing (obviously fake) while they askance look to me
Answer: I peak a spot above their head and while have an ''ice cold'' look (i can do it easily, i served in the Army plus i am a Duty man) i keep smoking my pipe showing to him that i don't care.
2) sometimes they dare to provoke me ''hey, your smoke is bothering me".
Answer: ''here is the smokers area, you can move to the interior non-smoking area" or ''you cellphone is bothering me too, you speak in open hearing and you have it in loud when they call you, why you don't put it in vibration/silence mode?"

I both cases those scoundrels know that can not do anything more, even if they call the manager nothing will happen so they quit any further try because they know that they lost...AGAIN!

Good Morning!
We got half a foot of snow overnight so I got up early to shovel for my wife, she's off to work. I'm enjoying GLP Westminster in a bent MM Washington Rob Roy along with a cup of coffee.

Good morning, BoB. Cops parked for surveillance/response outside my door this morning, nothing to do with me. They just changed shift so I have a feeling they will be there a while. I'll check local news and police blog. Anyway, I'm enjoying my Breakfast of Champions and will head to my mother's for luch.

I read "shovel for my life" the first time. Hope she has an uneventful drive to and from.

The ''Hygienists'' in Winter - Part 3

I have analysed in previous posts the tricks that the ''Hygienists" play against us when there are 2-3 of them together, there are also some times when someone is alone. That moron he things that he can change the situation and apply his own rules, neither goes from the beginning and sits in the smoking area or comes later while there are already smokers sitting there. At first he starts to look at us askance, then he makes exclamations like Sighhh, then he starts to hit the pages of the newspaper or magazine (he supposed got angry). Other times he hits the cup on his coffee saucer or throws his cell phone with a bang on the table (he supposed can't stand it any more).
Of course we don't pay any attention to him and continue to smoke our cigar/pipe and this makes him furious. He expects for us to say "oh, sir excuse me, is my smoke bothering you? Is it making you fell uncomfortable? Oh i am so sorry. Do you want me to put it out? Do you want me to change position?" etc but because we don't say anything to him, embarrassed and defeated, that schmuck is forced to go indoors or leave the Café.
He lost and we won..AGAIN!

I certainly have empathy for anyone who is bothered by tobacco smoke, and personally don't believe anyone should be subjected to it if it bothers them, BUT: if the idiot chooses to sit in the smoking section he damn well better be able to put up with it. Some sort of crusader I suppose. I once was approached while walking in a public park smoking a very mice cigar, by someone who chastised me for fouling the outdoor air. I suggested he probably should have stayed where he was rather than walking over to me where he could smell it.

It's been a nice couple of days to smoke outside. In the mid 80°s. Perfect weather

EGR in my Brigham bent Dublin and some more coffee. No idea regarding the stakeout in my front yard ... as long as they're not there for me.

 

[Balisong]

Hope she has an uneventful drive to and from.

She texted me when she got to work, the drive wasn't fun but at least it was uneventful!

This afternoon I'm smoking GLP Kensington in a bent MM Washington Rob Roy along with a cup of coffee. Next up some time with the snowblower.

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left from a freshly opened tin of year 2024 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. I thought I'd see what a recent batch tasted like since I've been smoking aged EGR for a long time. Fed all the cats.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through 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. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Cafe 645, neat, is my drink. Going to be another busy day.

 

[WetPipeDreamer]

we have BBQ ribs and baked beans for 1/2 time. 3peat is not out of the realm of possibility. Go Chiefs. Smoking an Estella 111ks filled with Prince Albert.

 

[JimInks]

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 127 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Currently, I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to watch the Super Bowl.

Back from lunch and having a bowl of Old Professor in my Tomato meer with a coffee. The stem is developing a weak spot where I clench, I may finally have to break down and use a bit cover, the pipe is only 27 years old - nothing is made to last anymore.

This feels really weird, insecure! It does protect the weak spot, though. I hope I don't start clenching tighter to make it feel more secure, that would defeat the purpose.

 

[Chris Smith]

Relaxing with some Pipe Force III in my Savinelli green alligator 614. Fixing to get me 2 fingers of bourbon.

UPDATE

Cheers!

 

[Idlefellow]

I'm into my second scotch - no pipe. Chiefs are sucking it up .

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” 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 saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
