What Are You Smoking Pages.

Close to finishing 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. Up earlier than usual to help a friend in need.

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Noon chores are done, the asprins took the edge off and I just finished a couple of potato skins with a touch of sour cream. I opened a 2015 tin of Wessex Campaign dark Virginia Flake and filled an MM Let Freedom Ring Rob Roy, a favorite tobacco in a favorite pipe! Coffee on the side to be replaced by homemade hard cider when the NFL playoff starts at 3.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Sutliff States of Virginia Limited Edition ’23 in a smooth, fumed top three quarter bend 1970s Peterson military mount meer with a nickel cap and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Despite a dozen salt and Everclear treatments, sanding out the carbon and tons of elbow grease, the Lakeland ghost is still present. Dunno what else to do since I don't smoke Lakelands these days.

Had some of the Va Slices in my Brigham, easy smoke in this pipe, I should use it more. It certainly helps that I reamed it well the last time I did a big clean-up.

Smoking a Rusticated Pete Lestrade, MB symphony,mug of Peet`s dark roast. Watching the squirrels doing acrobatics to try and get seed out of the bird feeders. LOL!

Enjoyed a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins thrown in, a bowl of vegetable soup with unsalted crackers, unsalted peanuts and a large golden delicious apple for lunch. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

Very strange weather, there should be snow on the ground but it’s 69 degrees outside. El Nino does strange things. Taking advantage of it, sitting on the back deck sipping a beer, watching the Chiefs whoop on the Ravens, smoking some Yorktown in a Ser Jacopo.

Now smoking 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. Enjoying my weekly pipe zoom.

Part way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink.

Enjoying GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy and a glass of hard cider. The Chiefs vs Ravens has been a good game!

Passing the quarter mark of 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.

Had no idea what you were talking about. I had to consult Marlon Perkins' Mutual of Omaha Wildlife Kingdom database. You have some really interesting wildlife in your corner of the world Ranger. Having Va Slices today, prepped a half flake this morning, it'll do 3-4 pipes. Mulling over the culinary prospects of your "herd" with the little Lorenzetti. Are they good for BBQ? Javelina?

Not really. They are not pigs. They are in a separate family called peccarys. Their closest relative is the hippo.They are very gamey. Some folks say they taste okay if you know how to cook them. However, in AZ, you can't shoot one unless it is attacking you. Not worth the bother, and they stink to high heaven. I wouldn't even want to field dress one unless I was starving.

The Chiefs won the first game, Taylor Swift is going to the Superbowl! Second game is the Lions vs 49ers. Just filled a Pride with GLP Kensington and refilled my cider glass.

Back from the Legion. Wifey turned me loose long enough to join our monthly pool tourney. My partner and I did okay.won 3 of 4 games and lost the last one by one shot. Tried my experiment of mixing Stanwell Melange with C&D Big and Burley. Tried it in a vintage Hilson XXX straight grain volcano and a MM Eaton cob reserved for trying new blends. Didn't really work. Think I will just dump the B&B and try something else with the Melange. Good evening my friends.

Now smoking year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I filled a Rob Roy with GLP Abingdon to watch the end of the game 49ers won!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2001 Dunhill Navy Rolls in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a smooth shank with a black acrylic stem. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink. Watching The Eyes of Orson Welles. The narrator is a tad irritating and projects himself into the documentary too much. But, it is cool to see Welles' artwork. Going to watch half tonight, and the rest later because it's hard to take two hours of the narrator straight through.

Copy that.

Had a bowl of Old Professor in my figure meer. I do not smoke this pipe often because it really does not lend itself to clenching, it is definitely and "in-hand" smoking pipe and I fidget constantly. Watched "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" with it, Tina Fey's "dramedy" about a journalist's Afghanistan embed career in the early 2000s. It was good, a deadpan, humorous look at conflict journalism when compared to "A Year of Living Dangerously" with Gibson and Weaver.

Anyway, this is my colouring update on Mr. Ed, not much to show except some rim and stem area darkening. Very little facial change. Gonna have a bowl of Old Professor in my Brigham and call it a night.
