What Are You Smoking Pages.

Good Morning!
I was up a bit late last night and finished the pipe I was smoking. Starting off the day with Drucquer Casbah in an MM Iconic Legend and with a fresh cup of coffee.

The bowl is too big for a bullcap. Would you post a side view?

Good morning Jim!

Here are some photos from the ebay listing. It was described as a "Monarch Big Bowl." Nothing about a "tomato" or other shape.

Thanks,
Les

Enjoying some C&D Virginia Flake in a 1965 Dunhill 127 Tanshell with some Seneca and black coffee. As always, my partner in crime is stuck to me like Velcro.

Are you reading the left-hand pages or the right-hand pages?

Good morning BoBs. Took Charlie out, got him fed, played fetch for a while. Now having Round Up in the Don Carlos bent dublin with CR morning coffee. Have a mini horse event at the Senior center today. Should be fun.

Ha! The right hand page. I wish I could read the left hand page.

My driving pipe: a Savinelli Punto Oro 111. Filled with some 2016 St Bruno flake. Notice the micro cracks in the stem around the brass dot. A hard learned lesson: don’t ever sanitize an acrylic stem with isopropyl alcohol. The acrylic will crack from a chemical reaction. Now it’s a beater pipe, a “yard pipe” I like to call it.

Home from work,Terrible day here. Chilly,rainy and windy. DePaja bent brandy,CAO Moontrance,Mug of CR Terazzu coffee.My achy backs not happy,going back to bed with pain meds shortly.

A third of the way through 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I would say that it's a squashed apple, although it does look like a small tomato.

Not far from finishing 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. Sam the Scamp wanted to go outside, and I was checking out what she was doing, which consisted of doing nothing.

Down bluff closer to the creek checking out what wildflowers are blooming. KBV Verge Engine Overdrive 2022 in an MM General with forever stem.

Wow! That's the first time I've heard of a "squashed" apple. So let it be written, so let it be done! (A small connection to EGR, by the way.) Thanks, Jim!

Well, I finally went out with Jacksie. The tobacco I smoked was Straus Private Stock Aromatic. The pipe, of course, was the Monarch squashed apple.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have a third of a bowl left 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. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Now smoking C&D Palmetto Balkan 2024 (Small Batch) in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a pearl brown acrylic saddle stem. Working on a review of this blend. It goes on sale this Tuesday.

Just finished a bowl of my own Trail Boss in a Maestro de Paya 1/4 bent apple with military stem. Earl Gray tea aside. Wind gusting to 40 mph here. Couldn't post as Augie was sitting in my lap and on my right hand, lol.

Late night, later day. Getting my first coffee with a bowl of H&H in the Legend. Watching a documentary series on Netflix about Alexander the Great. I don't place much stock on dramatised documentaries but they are more entertaining than strict documentaries. Maybe I'll learn something, maybe it's only entertainment.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Wessex Gold Brick in a straight dark brown 1920s Comoy’s Sunrise Natural S369 squat bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

My big Lorenzetti with a bowl of Casanova while I watch some more on Alexander.

My very first Condor moment. Condor in a cobbit. Halftime smoke during Women’s college basketball game. Go Ole Miss. View attachment 16845
