***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

[coming to_falling too]

After work smoke of Cornell and Diehl Pegasus in a Republic era Peterson System Standard 302. One more night and that's it, I'm off for 3.5 days. No overtime this week and I'm thankful for that.

This stuff is on sale now and I've yet to try it. Remembered someone gave me a tin a few years back and decided to oper 'er up. As you can see from the rust, I don't believe the seal on the tin would have survived much longer.

Just popped a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon from Jan 2018, it’s the inaugural bowl in my newly refurbished Cassano Leather Wrapped 769.

Good morning!

ODF in the flake pipe for the first bowl of the day. Definitely pretty rich (and not just because I paid a lot for it!). I'd say there is more grassy Virginia up front than anything else. The Burley is more present in the nose, I can smell that hint of nuts and cream but I feel like I have to really roll the smoke about in my mouth to taste it. Very smooth retrohale, with just a touch of sting. Very nice. There is also a little hint of peat. Both on the tongue and the nose. Almost like working in the garden in the fall when everything is starting to break down and you get that sweet earthy smell in your nose.

This time I prepped my bowl a little differently than normal. I usually fold and stuff, crumbling a little rub on top. This time I sort of half rubbed the flake out before stuffing, then adding the more rubbed out stuff on top. Not a drastic change from before, but enough to throw a bit of extra back in the tin for next time.

Hope no one minds my mini-reviews in the WAYS thread! I find it a good way to concentrate on the flavours and think more about the blend. Otherwise I'm off on a tangent...

Gave up trying to sleep, so I'm up and ready to do nothing, but smoke circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

Jim, is that a typical first bowl of the day for you?

Just finished a Yello Bole of Revor Plug while our girls won the Six Nation’s. Now for a walk with C&D English Chocolate in a Falcon with a Bulldog bowl.
Well done to our ladies, three 6 Nation’s wins in a row.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time for a set of walking reps. The rain is on the way, so this may be all the walking I get to do today.
