    What Are You Listening To - July, 2024

    DesertDan, I saw these guys live at The London House in Chicago a few times in the mid to late 60s. These videos capture the exact feel of those live performances.

    Sigmund! Happy Belated 60th. Birthday! Sorry I missed it. I am so far behind on this thread; trying hard to catch up.

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

    This afternoon was absolutely gorgeous. I thought I'd have Christmas in July, so I filled my Comoy's Blue Riband 157 poker with 2017 Christmas Cheer, grabbed my crossword puzzle and a wee dram of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Barrel Proof (135º) and went out to the gazebo to enjoy the balmy...

    Late afternoon. Beautiful day. In the front room with all the windows open, great cooling breeze. I plop into my leather recliner, light up my MM Country Gentleman corncob filled with 8-year-old Lane's 1Q, lean back and ignore the evening news on the television.

    I filled my Colm Magner rusticated billiard with a slightly bent saddle stem, with c. 1980 Drucquer Royal Ransom to smoke while visiting with my Saturday afternoon Zoom buddies. The time had come to talk of many things--of pipes and tobaccos, tampers and lighters--of cabbages and kings.

    The temperature dropped, the humidity dropped, and I dropped everything to go out to the back yard to enjoy a beautiful afternoon under the gazebo. I smoked a Cuban Partagas Short and sipped a wee bit of The Macallan 12. Glorious!

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

    I smoked my Peterson Sherlock Holmes Original (c.1988) filled with vintage 1989 McClelland No. 24 Virginia, during the Saturday ZOOM meeting with my smoking buds. The 35-year-old No. 24 was soooo mellow and flavorful! My usual tumbler full of Peach/Mango Green Tea with bergs and a splash of...

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

    There were only four of us at the start of our Saturday ZOOM meeting, all of us retired teachers and all of us over 70. It was fun to trade old "war stories" about our days at the chalkboard. After some of the younger folk joined in, the conversation was again mainly pipes and tobaccos. I smoked...

    FurCoat, I, too, had an Austin America, bought it new for $1,800. I drove it more than 20 miles (to and from my teaching job) each day for 5 years. It finally blew the tranny. But my mechanic had one with a destroyed engine. We swapped my engine into the other Austin and I drove that one for...

    What Are You Listening To - June, 2024

    bullet08, I consider Waltz for Debby to be the greatest jazz album ever recorded. I even place it above Kind of Blue.

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

    I just finished a relatively short visit with my Saturday ZOOM buddies (I have a 21st. birthday party for my great-grand niece to attend later this afternoon). I smoked a bowl of 1970s Edward G. Robinson Pipe Blend in my GBD Militaire 357 prince. A tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea with a fistful...
