What are you smoking?

Starting off my smoking day with 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. Simply Orange is my drink. Watching The Monkees. Haven't seen them in years,

Me too! Now smoking EGR in my new Charles Towne Cobler cob!

Relaxing after a couple of big Nathan's hotdogs with a bowl of MacBaren HH Burley Flake in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic stem. A very enjoyable blend. A bottle of Kutztown Birch Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching the Yankees-A's game with Suzy and Molly, who are sitting in front of the TV just staring at the screen.

Now enjoying 2014 Solani 633 in a smooth straight early 1960s 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. Love this pipe and the tobacco is great, too.

I would like to raise my pipe [with Robert McConnell Black & Gold] for the memory of a man named Ken Small, i don't know if he was a pipe smoker and i am not related to him but for years now i feel that deep inside of me that i had to honour him even with the most humble way for what he did.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-27185893

In 1974, Small bought from the U.S. Government the rights to a submerged tank from the 70th Tank Battalion discovered by his search efforts. In 1984, with the aid of local residents and diving firms, he raised the tank, which now stands as a memorial to the incident.

LST-289 was set on fire but eventually made it back to shore with the loss of 123 Navy personnel.
LST-507 was torpedoed and sunk with the loss of 202 US Army/US Navy personnel.
LST-511 was damaged by friendly fire.
LST-531 sank within six minutes of being torpedoed with the loss of 424 Army and Navy personnel.

The remaining ships and their escort fired back and the E-boats made no more attacks. In total, 749 servicemen (551 United States Army and 198 United States Navy) were killed during Exercise Tiger. Many servicemen drowned or died of hypothermia in the cold sea while waiting to be rescued. Many had not been shown how to put on their lifebelt correctly, and placed it around their waist, the only available spot because of their large backpacks. In some cases this meant that when they jumped into the water the weight of their combat packs flipped them upside down, dragging their heads underwater and drowning them.
Dale Rodman, who travelled on LST-507, commented: "The worst memory I have is setting off in the lifeboat away from the sinking ship and watching bodies float by."
