    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    With the good-sized bowl in my Rossi 8815 Lumberman, I filled it with some Speakeasy (thanks to Craig's generosity) and even though it was nicely dried, it lasted nearly 2 hours. This length was probably artificially extended due to me taking breaks to contribute to the conversations plus...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Yeah well, I've had it, too, diagnosed about a year & half back. Do my meds & they've helped ... to a degree. Will hold a good thought for you. NOTE: Of course, I'm a "tad" older than you - older, maybe not wiser.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Each month, I ask "How's your little guy doing?" from concern over that unexpected health problem several months back. So, not wanting to slight anybody, maybe I'll have to start asking "How's your phalaenopsis doing?" You'll have to forgive me if I mess up the pronunciation! NOTE: Off the...

    You've posted this pic before ... and I've drooled before. I really like plateau tops, and the finishing on the inside bevel is just class (!!!).

    How appropriate, with Thanksgiving coming up. I like the big one in the middle. :)

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Since I stated (above) that I'm going to be living for a while with this Comoy, maybe all about Pegasus until it's gone, I'm considering doing a full bowl of Captain Black White with whatever "goopiness" but jarred & well aged, just to specifically get a "Vanilla Ghost". Ghosts aren't...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Took my Comoy Naked Briar Dublin out of the rack - a good-sized bowl, like a Stanwell 64. Not sure why it sat for a while since it was always an exceptionally good smoker. Thinking I need to live with it for a while (!!!). NOTE: Will bring it to tomorrow night's Pipe Club. :) And to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Some Autumn '12 ... (my own aro from 2012, now well aged) ... in a Rossi 8815 Lumberman. This pipe negates my racks not holding a Lovat. COMMENT: Since June, I'd been pulling for Mike in the fight last night, admiring & respecting his training, his "Up Yours" to Father Time. But in the last...

    Two years ago, I also bought my first Canadians from Steve, a very fine gentleman, Reborn Pipes (!!!). You posted on Nov 3rd, so I imagine you've already smoked it well. A suggestion, however, is that a great accompaniment would be a glass of Canadian Whisky with a splash of Canada Dry Ginger...

    Seems like this month (WAYS Nov 2024?), there are even more cob pics than Oct. :) I usually have 1 cob plus couple briars (and maybe a meer) in my weekly rotation. Smoke each one several times before good cleaning, then return all to the racks. Oct was a little different, kept 3 cobs around...

    Well ... a splash of Perique might fit the bill. Don't think it could hurt any.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Last month, several of my Pipe Club brothers encouraged me to try a bowl of some Belgium Semois that was there. Their comments were almost exactly the same as above. It definitely was unique ... and enjoyable.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Nov ... now Nov ... LOVE Nov (!!!). Leaves mostly down, trees mostly bare & brown, any fallen leaves that were red, orange or yellow are brown. So ... Nov's going to be mostly Brown Va's, like Wessex Campaign, GH Brown Flake U/S and maybe crack some well-aged tins of various Browns. Of course...

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

    Temps now ... Wed, Oct 30 ... definitely "crisp", "brisk", with the classic Nov look today = solid gray sky, maybe almost 90% of trees devoid of leaves, Oct's colorful beauty now almost completely gone until next year. NOTE: I say "YAY" because ... very strange to most, probably bizarre ...

    Will have another McClelland beauty for my Nov Pipe Club Brothers. Sept = McClelland Royal Cajun Special Oct = McClelland Oriental #1 Nov = will bring McClelland Arcadia 221 ('08 tin, maybe '03?), cracked open couple weeks back to let it breath, since it hadn't had a breath of fresh air for at...

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

    Today (Fri, Oct 25) was one of those days where everything just came up smelling like roses. NOTE: Some days, you hit every Red Light ... then there are days, like today, where you hit every Green Light. Got 2 RF checks in the mail, plus found out State of MN will RF me what I recently paid...

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

    Sobrbiker & Sandblast appear to tandemly run afoul of Jimlnks habit of solely dedicating a pipe to a blend. Guess we are heathens, just smoking "whatever", "whenever we feel like it" in whatever pipe we choose. Picturing if Sandblast were to visit Sobrbiker, immediately complaining about the...

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

    WOW ... never tried Pegasus, but so much love shown for it here ... then, last Tue, thanks to one of my Pipe Club brothers who so generously gifted me a nice baggie to enjoy (MUCH gratitude) ... I'm now seriously wondering if my CELLAR might, in the near future, look like this (???).

    Speaking of politically incorrect, I have an older ('07 maybe) tin of Fribourg & Treyer Blackjack with the word "Blackjack" being just a small sticker stuck across the original name.
