    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Capstan Blue in my Pete smooth Aran. Checking out a spot on the property for a possible deck location.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    First time mowing the new property (we’re going to be turning it into a CA native meadow) — maybe not quite an acre. A new experience for me but probably not for many of you! So enjoying my handiwork with 8 state burley in the wee Scott’s pipe before taking the dog for a long walk by a nearby...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Got a few lingering house things done and now onto a bowl of Proper English from LA’s Tobacco Traders. In a pipe I don’t smoke often — but which has to be my oldest from the mid 90s — a rusticated Viking. Fixin to get going with a “TNT” Tri tip from nearby Willowside Meats, which is proving to...

    Fr. Dempsey in my Pete Aran, finishing up the work day and then I'll take the dog for a walk. Although she is sleeping in the sun out here... so we'll see. Unusual bird sighting of the day: A turkey walking around our backyard.

    Change of pace -- Visions of Celephais in a BriarWorks dedicated to the aromatics. The bird report up here (@Servant King and others who care) is similar to down south: Stellar's and scrub jays; towhees; junkos; the occasional crow and raven; but also turkey vultures, red-winged hawks; a...

    EMP in a Pete Aran for obvious reasons. Just put my grandmother’s Irish soda bread recipe in the oven and will be making a Guinness braised beef stew tonight. Trying to have the side yard look as green as possible.

    We were thinking along the same lines yesterday. Love the pipe!

    8 state burley (2021) in a Pete Aran as we discover the pup (13 months now) loves sun. There hasn’t been much for the past months.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    We’re having our first overnight guest in the new house in Sonoma County. Someone I’ve know more than 40 years. He’s upstairs taking a work call. My wife took the pup for a walk so I’m sneaking in some capstan blue in a Scott’s pipe. And @Servant King we have set up our bird feeders. Scrub and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    Lots of time between pipes again. Probably having trouble getting a rhythm or routine down in the new place. But Fr Dempsey in a Pete Aran to finish off some work around the property and an earlier walk on the beach with the pup. Hope everyone’s well.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    First smoke of the year (I know). 2021 eight state burley in a Pete smooth Aran. Been raining like crazy every time I had a moment for a pipe. Happy belated new year all!

    2020 Cringle Flake in a Pete Aran with my newest companion (not from today though!). Happy Christmas and holidays everyone.

    2021 We Three Kings in a Savenelli I’ve had since the mid 90s. Shot looking the other way from last time

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    I’m in Sebastopol— so if you have any suggestions let me know. (Like is there a B&M here abouts?) Your part of the 5 is great if only for the opportunity to drive too fast before slamming into the 405. Happy holidays to you and yours too!

    L.A. Pipe Club

    I think for a good while I was the closest to TTs — could walk (a long walk). But see my post in the WAYS thread — I’m 460 miles north now! Hope it is successful and today y’all met up.
