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

[JimInks]

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of KBV Burley Morning Pipe beta test in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem.


Currently, I'm not far from finishing 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.

Bout to go smoke a mixture of OGS with G&H Black Cherry Twist. Might be a disaster or it might be really good. Got Bible study in a bit, then after that I'll probably smoke another pipe and light some fireworks for the boys.

Ravenwood Morning Pastry in the PCI Horn Meerschaum. Homemade Lemon Black Current Iced tea on the side.

The black current flavor comes from Harney’s Paris tea and the lemon flavor from a generous amount of lemon squeezed in

Just finished smoking year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight smooth brown pre-1920s W.D.C. Bakelite bulldog with an electro silver band and tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit. Watching the Braves-Orioles game. It'll be interesting to see how Charlie Morton does against his former Braves teammates.

Today I filled an empty Davidson's tin with three full flakes of Sutliffe 507-c rubbed out and one large pinch of Lane 1Q thoroughly mixed in like tossed salad. I smoked two bowls in the Vauen Olaf bent egg. Very pleasant and tasty combo that smoked slowly and dry ... no dottle. I'll be enjoying this the rest of the weekend while I ponder which pipes to rotate, because, as you can tell I am truly partial to the Vauen but a bit addicted to it. The Vauen is slowly replacing my 42 yr old Savinelli 2614ks as a favorite pipe and I have to force myself to smoke some of the other pipes otherwise I might as well sell them. Change can be difficult. I hope everyone had and has a wonderful relaxing 4th of July weekend.

Smoking some current production F&T Evans Blend in the Merton prince. It's a very pleasant unflavored VA/Cav ribbon, a nice warm weather smoke.
I'm drinking some locally made Munich-style lager which I'm also using to poach some brats before they get finished on the grill. Happy 4th of July to all!

I don't drink anymore, but man do I still crave a beer and a brat on a hot day! Don't get better than that!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone, it turned out to be a good one. Having a bowl of Rattrays Hal o the Wynd in a cob with coffee. Careful playing with the fireworks today, having more fingers than less is helpful for good pipe smoking View attachment 402515

Turn that thing upright so the luck doesn't all spill out.

Happy Independence Day to those in America! Enjoying some Newminster Navy Flake in a corn cob as I gaze at the waning flames of a fire.
