    What Music are You Listening to? September, 2023

    I’m going to throw a plug in for KSDS radio out of San Diego. Jazz and blues. Starting a 5 pacific time Saturday nights is great — delta blues for an hour then Billy Vera does his “Saturday night fish fry” and then more blues. Highly highly recommended.

    Back with another pipe of Fr. Dempsey in what seems to be my to go Peterson Aran. Re: my last post, a photo that updates things here on LA's Westside. Enjoy the week everyone!

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

    Second pipe this week! Celebrating the end of a productive week with some eight state burley in a neat little Scotts. We are going to a rescue place tomorrow to meet dogs. We shall see…

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

    Quick pipe of Stokkebye Highland Whiskey (my wife was out with me) in this BriarWorks. One more day to go and I’m hoping tomorrow starts with a surf.

    Recommendations for Pipe Shops in Sante Fe, NM

    Hi all. It has not been a very conducive Spring for pipesmoking here in LA (both weather related -- ho hoy did our house get soaked and flooded, please don't ask how much work was needed! -- and just workwise keeping me from getting outside for a bit of peaceful time). But I'm heading to Santa...

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

    It's mainly the curved stem that gives me trouble. It is my quickest to clog pipe. But I love being able to sit with it for an hour or more.

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

    First smoke of April and I think there wasn’t one in March. Crazy month of weather in LA and all of CA. Spent a good chunk of today prepping to have work done on the house resulting from the deluge. All things are relative but it was just pretty rough, especially Monterey area. Father Dempsey...

    Oregon Official Resigns For Hoarding Top-Shelf Bourbons

    I don't mean to start a debate about capital punishment, but surely this ought to be a capital offense? From the NY Times: Outrageous! :)

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

    2020 Cringle Flake in a light and easy to clench S Klein while reading the paper (a little late to it after an early morning hike at one of the spots in LA that have water from all our rain). Enjoy the day all.

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

    It's sunny and about 75 here in LA, so I'm going to do my last bit of work -- quick, I hope, writing project -- out back with some Capstan Blue in my rusticated Viking. We're almost to the weekend! I suspect I don't have to guess too many people's plans. 🌭🏈

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

    Just pulled some soda bread out of the oven, to be paired with some Irish cheddar and a green heavy colcannon in celebration of Imbolc. Adding some Pete Old Dublin in a Pete Aran.

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

    February is fixin to be busy work wise so I’m enjoying a few early endings to my days this week. (Also helping my wife recover from knee surgery.) Some 2022 Eight State Burley in this Scotts pipe. It feels like something my grandfather might have smoked.

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

    Full work day complete, and the weather is cooperating, so I am stuffing some We Three Kings into my bent Briarworks. Enjoy the evening everyone!

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

    First pipe of the year. Been busy plus it’s been raining a ton! And it’s been so long I got signed out of the forum. Did have a fun conversation with a friend in Friday about the absolute necessity of having Cuban rum with Cuban cigars. It is on our to do list when he returns from some...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    Was expecting this week to offer plenty of time for pipes. Not so much! So a first holiday time pipe — a “Viking classic” I’ve had since the 90s long before I’d think to keep track of where I got it. (Must have been Missouri.) 2020 Cringle Flake. I’m hoping to get to this years House Reserve...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    2020 Cringle Cake in a Pete Aran after a pretty full day of getting things done around the house. View from the roof! Hope everyone’s doing well. Been tough to find time for a pipe this Fall.
