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

    Good evening all. Busy day running errands and checking items off the honey do list. Now, it’s me time, and I’m smoking a bowl of Daughter’s and Ryan Rimboche S.J. that I came across after rummaging through a box of forgotten jars. It was my first VaPer love and now I remember why. Sooo good...

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

    Good afternoon all, and T.G.I.F!! Another work week is done and dusted, and I’m ready to put my feet up. A bowl of Cringle Flake 2020 in my no name meer and a pour of rye, will get the festivities started. Have a good one! Cheers! I really like the tater sticker on the back of this bottle.

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

    Good morning all. This cool and rainy morning would have been perfect for sleeping in, but the cats thought otherwise. So, I’m headed to the porch, armed with a loaded coffee and a bowl of BMP, to play a little catch up on here. Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend. @UncleRasta ...

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

    Enjoying a rare second day in a row with an evening smoke on the porch. Gorgeous weather, and the wife at a business dinner, gives me a good excuse to put projects on the back burner. A bowl of Rum Flake is checking all the boxes right now. Cheers!

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

    Good afternoon all. I’m taking advantage of an afternoon off, and enjoying this beautiful Carolina weather while deadheading and watering the flowers. A bowl of FVF in a cherished pipe gifted by a forum friend, and quite possibly a pour of bourbon, are on tap after the chores are completed...

    Next up is Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Batch 115. This is a blend of bourbons finished in Armagnac, Cognac, and Sherry barrels. Rich toffee and leather notes mingled with candied fruits and tobacco. I could sit all night with a pour of this and be perfectly satisfied. Cheers!

    Next up is Four Gate 10 year private cask Indiana bourbon. Deeper, darker, richer, due to the time in the barrel vs. the 2XO. Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2023

    Evening, all. Having a little tasting this evening and getting things kicked off with 2XO The Innkeepers Blend. It is the second release by Dixon Dedman, of Kentucky Owl fame, and is what we should have experienced on the first release. Rich, oily, buttery and so balanced and well rounded...

    What Are You Drinking? May 2023

    What’s up, gang?! It’s been a minute. I have a few projects going on that have kept me busy and away from the forum for a bit. I‘ve been exploring a few craft distilleries that have been creating a buzz lately, and have found a small outfit in Bourbon, Missouri, that’s doing amazing things. Old...

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

    Good morning all. I’m up early this morning to watch footie with @UncleRasta ( c’mon boys!). I have loaded a bowl with BMP, doctored up a cup of coffee, and ready to head to the garage to watch the first half. I would love to be outside on this mild 65f morning but the wind is howling and heavy...

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

    Evening all. T.G.I.F.! Another work week in the books and it’s time to decompress. A bowl of FVF in a no name meer and a pour of Sagamore Rye will get me started in that direction. I hope you folks in the path of the bad storms stay safe. It’s going to get bumpy tonight. Cheers!

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

    @Backwoods Briar . Thanks Buddy. It’s been hard staying away. You guys are my enablers, and I am genuinely curious to see if not smoking improves the cough ( it hasn’t), so I’ve tried to resist temptation by not participating in pipe talk. But……. I’m done with this experiment. I’ll probably...

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

    Crazy, isn’t it?! We’ve had springlike weather since early February and everything is beautiful in full bloom, and then last week have hard freezes every morning to kill it all off. I hope we can get through April before the 90’s and 80% humidity get here to stay.

    What Are We Drinking In March 2023?

    Evening all. I’m starting my Saturday evening with a pour a Four Gate Whiskey Co. Batch 24 BRBN DownUnder. This is a high rye bourbon finished in Australian Apera Sherry casks and it’s freakin’ delicious. I love what these new blenders are doing with finishes nowadays. Hope everyone is having a...

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

    Evening all. I’ve been on a self ( family) imposed smoking sabbatical for the last several weeks. Haven’t been able to shake a persistent cough, and the wife immediately zeroed in on the pipe. I begrudgingly agreed to a pause, because frankly I was starting to worry myself. Tests have been run...

    You’re close, Zero. It was actually the 16th. WTF, is Marilu Henner your mother?!? How did you remember that? I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. Thanks for remembering, brother! I’m getting my weekend started with a pour of a Barrell Bourbon store pick. My favorite store manager was in...
