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

[Birddog66]

I have just opened a fresh tin of Capstan Blue Flake, you can’t get it here for some reason so I wrapped half of it up and put it away. I don’t think it’ll stay put away for long. Best straight Va I’ve had so far, except maybe for Yorktown. One Flake is gonna give me two bowls in a MM Marcus. I can see why Capstan has been around for so long. I’m not sure if the ready rubbed we have here is gonna be the same but I guess I’m gonna have to find out.

Now smoking Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.

Oops. I posted on the old March thread. Didn't notice. So it is C&D Tuggle Hall, a bulk English, in a MM/C&D collaboration bent billiard cob, to complete my corncob day, before taking a walk to mail some Easter cards to family and friends.

FurCoat, uh-oh, I've had a few battles with those lines of ants marching along inside. It's a bridge too far to fight them out of the yard, but once they appear inside, I'm on them with a sponge, vinegar, ant traps and so on. Supposedly they take the ant trap chemical back to the hill and that seems to end the infestation. I feel like Attila the Hun mowing down the masses.

I’m afraid that as a Buddhist I see every ants death as senseless murder.
Now I’m going back to eating my lamb chops and mint sauce while you all contemplate on your sins.

Just finishing this bowl of D&R Ryback in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Got another set of walks in and listened to the ball game while I did it.

To keep them out of the house I use a B&G power duster and blow a mix of Seven dust and Diamatacious Earth in the crawl space. It helps, but we both know how determined these critters can be.

That's a pretty pipe.

Enjoyed a tasty navel orange, and am now smoking Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a black vulcanite tapered stem. A cup of hot tea is my drink, which I think it appropriate for this blend, especially on a cold, windy day like this one.

Perfection in my new estate Vauen Luxus with P-lip, this should last me for a while. I’m trying this Russian Imperial Stout based on the original recipe from 1912 by the Belgian, Le Coq. It’s 9% so this should last a while too.

After an action packed morning of taking my Grandfather to the ER, and then visiting my Grandmother who is recovering from surgery in a different hospital 3 cities away, I finally had something to eat, and now am relaxing with some MacBaren HH Rustica in a Stanwell 45 pot.

Feeling very fortunate that both my maternal grandparents are still with me at 38, and that both should make full recoveries from today.
