***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***
Following a few hours of gardening I’m now enjoying a pipe of EMP in my Aran 408. Surveying our work. I had planned to smoke my House pipe but it was c-l-o-g-g-e-d. A little 100 proof vodka and salt seems to quickly have done the trick. Will finish cleaning it later on. I’m also waiting to see...- EssJaySea

2020 Cringle Flake in a paneled Meer. I'm sure I've had this pipe since the mid-90s (no later than '96), bought outside of St. Louis. With the stem, it is fair to call this my most elegant pipe. With a cup of coffee and the usual work.- EssJaySea

***What Are You Drinking?*** January 2022
The weekend consisted of cheap gin martinis on Friday (didn't have time to get more Beefeater), Woodford Manhattans on Saturday and a pre-dinner Rowan's Creek + a nice Cab to go with what turned out to be an excellent steak dinner.- EssJaySea

I don't have my phone to take a picture but the sky in West LA is pretty much the same clear blue. The palm trees also look about the same! Enjoy your day and your smokes.- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***
Kramer's Blend for Fr. Dempsey in a smooth Pete Aran 408, to kick off the work week -- one main writing project to accomplish today, and this will help get the creative juices flowing. California is set up for a pretty epic football showdown (following on our baseball one in the fall). I think...- EssJaySea

@Servant King 's will almost always (if not always) out do mine. But we have done a fine job providing refuge for urban wildlife here, if I do say so myself. Our front and back yards/gardens are now almost entirely native CA plants, from ceanothus to rye to several buckwheats to toyons -- LA's...- EssJaySea

Wessex Campaign Dark Flake (thanks @Tar Wheel !) in my rusticated Viking Dublin. Didn't bring my phone so no pic; working on a couple of final projects (I hope) for the week. It is a beautiful but cool and clear day in LA. Looks like some Morning Doves, I think a Western Goldfinch or two, and...- EssJaySea

What do you think of it? Like many others, I'm familiar with the Squire via the podcast. But nothing more than that. Hope you enjoyed it!- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***
Just finished a bowl of PS Nougat in my Savinelli Canadian (lighter, pre-meal smoke). Also a bit of a risk as I had it during a work call; once in the past, this same group at the last minute changed up the plan and went on Zoom instead of the phone. I was forced to say I wasn't Zoom...- EssJaySea

A good choice all around. I'm curious how you happened upon the Kramer's blend (geography and all that).- EssJaySea

Eight State Burley (which continues growing on me) in a Pete Aran 408 -- while writing up some materials for a client. I've got another client who says they've cut the engagement check for me -- but they haven't signed the contact I sent. So I'm not quite buying a bunch of tobacco, or bourbon...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Drinking?*** January 2022
As promised earlier, here's what I was told is the best IPA in Seattle. It was far milder than the "hops bombs" they often are (which maybe would go with a good lat bomb mix?). Over the weekend, we also hosted a friend of mine from high school -- Sazerac, wine with dinner and a few Manhattans...- EssJaySea

Kramer’s Blend for Cary Grant in my newest pipe — this Scott’s. I’m trusting the very light aromatics on top of their English blend won’t ghost it. If it does — it’ll be fine. With the Sunday NY Times and a cup of Irish breakfast tea. Enjoy the day all — I’ll assume a lot of football being watched.- EssJaySea

***What Are You Drinking?*** January 2022
And we'll save the bourbon for after, just to be safe! Enjoy the weekend. I will report on last night's drink later (I'm too far away from where I can find it) -- we had my brother over for dinner; he is visiting from Seattle and says it is Seattle's best IPA. It was great, not overly hoppy -- a...- EssJaySea

***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***
Been a busy work week so finally getting to a pipe (while doing some final bits of work ahead of two end of day calls, which I don't think will result in last-minute work, fingers crossed): Wanted something a little longer, so 2020 Cringle Flake in a Pete sandblast House Pipe. For all the weight...- EssJaySea

You're sure you got what you paid for, right? :) Some day, I trust, we'll find an opportunity to enjoy a nice bourbon a pipe together. Hope the rest of your week goes well, my friend.- EssJaySea

Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in my Pete Aran 408 -- an easy pipe to smoke while I work. Considering double-dipping and having a second bowl, depending on how long the first takes me. The black mass in the background are booties that are drying for a surf session yesterday. Hope everyone's weeks go...- EssJaySea

Beware that Special Bourbon!
Hey all. Without running afoul of any forum rules, I thought I'd point people in this particular section to a story I saw over the weekend. I'll link to it and provide the key pieces: The story calls "super-premium American whiskey" as bottles above $50...- EssJaySea
