***What Are You Smoking, April 2025?***

[Fralphog]

We got up to the lake today to use the downriggers and go after some Kokanee. Spent 4 hours and caught 3 Kokanee.
Now, relaxing with some ice water and Acadian Flake in the Peterson 301 System.

GLP Navigator in the Ropp, amongst a couple other smokes.
Ass is dragging’ today-last night I think I just started dreaming when I got called in to clear a giant Palo Verde that decided to just fall over into a street.
Got home and got back to sleep a half hour before I had to get up

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This should get me to dinner time. Running low on this tub of tobacco, but I have more. Watching the Braves-Cardinals game with Abner the Eager snoozin' near my feet. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.

Not a burley fan, but I love the Sportsmans!

Using this Ropp JO7 to burn some yummy C&D Red VA Ribbon and C&D VA Flake blended together 50/50.

Love the blast on this pipe but I wish they gave it one more round in the machine for a little more depth.
That’s ok though, it was $55 and I love it.

I had to pick up a blasted J07 when I saw the grain too! It’s waiting in the wings…
…while I continue to beat my smooth J07 like a red headed stepchild! Car wash on the way home with my Dark Sails mixture.

It's my birthday! I took the day off cause I just needed it and while I expected to spend the day farting around and smoking pipes other plans happened. An excellent birthday though.

Anyhow I'm wrapping up my day with my old faithful blend, GLP Cumberland in a full bent Peterson. Finally seeing some warmer weather so I'll be breaking out and breaking in some new pipes.

Happy belated birthday man! Hope you had some good smokes!

Well, I'm now officially the 3rd longest living male on either side of the family, and I'll tie my cousin Wally next year on this same date as tied for 2nd. Yup, made it to 74 today. Celebrated my wakeup with my favourite small cigar, a Colt Whiskey, and after a few chores, I'll be gone most of the day - unwanted festivities and extravaganzas, as you'd expect )

Lot's to talk about in the following picture, my upcoming late morning or early evening puff, and I'll explain all of it in an upcoming late night post about my evening smoke in the eminently verbose and unnecessary "Skippable Drivel."

That's a really nice "matched pair" (!) ... have to be a source of pride in ownership.

Two weeks ago I took my son to Milwaukee for some college visits, and came back with a nasty bug which has kept me homebound and tobacco free for the past 10 days. Last night I dreamt that I was eating some thin, flat beef jerky, then looked down and realized that they were actually burley flake.

Now that I have successfully passed the virus along to my wife and son, I’m feeling well enough to sit outside for a few minutes with a pipe, in this case a Falcon with some Kendal #7.



I guess the unexpected (and undesired) abstinence has reset my taste buds, or maybe I started to forget how good pipe tobacco can taste, but this is extremely good today. I’ve missed it.

Glad you’re back and feeling better!
