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

    A well timed pipe at the end of a fairy crazy week. Ready to unwind. Eight state burley in a s klein… choose your shape. Good bowl size to pipe size. I hope everyone has good weekends.

    Also, asking from our here in California, the same: Where are any tony restaurants or pubs that allow pipes? :sher:

    Anyway -- also smoking some Kramer's Blend for Cary Grant in a Savinelli Canadian, trying to channel his cool. (I think also it is a pipe I've had since Missouri days... not sure where I got it, though. Could have been in Columbia.

    In the past, I think I've mentioned I got a few of my pipes (including the Meer from my last WAYS post) at a shop in Missouri while I was living there ('93-'97). It *may* have been Jon's... (maybe? Is that possible?).

    After a busy Sunday (which did include a quick trip to the beach and some overdue body surfing in pretty small waves) I’m reading the Sunday paper, having a mug of tea and a pipe of C&D Super Balkan in a rusticated up meer. Used to smoke meers a lot but haven’t lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Continuing to have late-evening pipes (and not post until the next day). Again with Fr. Dempsey in a small briar, which smoked incredibly last night -- not sure what magic I wove. Lovely as the stars came out here in Ojai. We're going to work on dealing with the mosquito problem in LA when we...

    Hope you feel better very soon, my friend.

    Same on day two (this is a delayed report from last night) — Fr Dempsey in a little briar. Was right over there.

    On a quick vacation to Ojai - wasn’t sure about the smoking potential but packed a pipe and some tobacco anyways. And we’re off to the end of the site so I was able to have some Fr Dempsey in a small travel briar. I’ll try to get photos tomorrow.

    First pipe of the month: EMP with some Irish breakfast tea in a S. Klein. Although it is past early afternoon even.

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

    Have to watch a Zoom call I missed (I believe this is somewhere in an updated version of Dante's circles of Hell) so am taking the opportunity to have a pipe: Capstan Blue in a House Pipe (which will need cleaning after this smoke; I may never buy a bent pipe again).

    Has not been a month with much good time to set aside for pipes. Finally finding some time. Todays is driven by the pipe. I felt like my BriarWorks— which means an aromatic. So PS Highland Whiskey. Hope everyone is doing well and has nice plans for the weekend (long weekend in the US).

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

    Haven't found much time for a pipe lately. Hustling for new clients and finishing up a couple of projects will do that. We did get out last weekend and see a performance of King Lear at the Wallis in Beverly Hills. (For those old enough, Joe Morton who was the lead in Brother from Another Planet...

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

    Went to an event for one of our mayoral candidates and now I'm relaxing with Kramer's Father Dempsey in my Pete Aran. I doubt had I been at the Derby I would have put money on the longest shot. Oh well. Such is life.

    Seeking Exceptional Bourbons

    We went out to dinner for our anniversary and had a couple of Old Fashions with Rare Character Single Barrel -- not sure it is easy to get, after a look at their website. (Rare Character - https://www.rarecharacterwhiskey.com/ )

    Just finished a bowl of Wessex Campaign Dark flake in a S. Klein Dublin; smoked it surreptitiously while on a phone call with my firm's managing partner, and I was done with it right when the call ended. Kismet! And the perfect "crime."

    Just released April was not the right month. Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Pete Aran after a hike in Griffith Park.

    For us youngsters could you say more about what a “weekly newspaper” is. Much appreciated. ?

    ***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

    Fingers crossed the work week is over (a little on the early side). It’s either been really windy or I haven’t had a good moment for a pipe. Replaced the flint on my Zippo, cleaned my Viking (still in progress) and am going to try to capture a little slowdown time with Capstan Blue in a Pete...
