***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

[Servant King]

As if my obsession with Drew Estate wasn't obvious enough...



...I've got Drew Estate Central Park Stroll drying on a paper towel. A good hour of dry time is usually sufficient for this aromatic, before putting it in the Savinelli Tortuga 614 bent billiard. Going to watch Die Hard today. Coincidentally, my wife grew up about half a mile from Fox Plaza aka Nakatomi Plaza. Yippie-ki-yay! ?

Got in another testing of "Mystery blend #1" in an Emperor with water before heading to the range today.

Good evening All
Reflecting on a fantastic day catching up with among others two ex-students. The moorland is alive with curlews, lapwing and skylarks. At the end of the range day still managed to hit the fox target with five rounds rapid with a borrowed rifle. Enjoyed Orlik Golden Sliced followed by Cornell and Diehl Pirate Kake in a Jack Ryan Pipes rusticated billiard.
If Heineken made days out…
Happy smokes

Earlier I opened a tin of Sun Bear Black Locust I put away last year to open in the spring, and enjoyed it in a MM St. Patrick's Day lovat while running errands.

Now loading up a bowl of Grousemoor in a meerschaum billiard for doing dishes.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball prince with a tapered cumberland stem. Gold Star Kona Extra Fancy, neat, is my drink. Time for my weekly Sunday zoom with a few pipe buddies.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Been watching the Braves pitchers throw batting practice to the Marlins.

Suzy likes to play with catnip balls. I threw some to her, and she just sat there, unimpressed. Left me standing there looking like my usual self.

She knew you were trying to get a photo shot, and you hadn't negotiated royalties with her yet.

As soon as I finish this bowl of Shepherd's Pie in a cob, I'm heading out for a long walk with my dog. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

I'm breaking in a new birthday pipe (thanks to my wonderful wife) - Savinell Arcobaleno Smooth Blue (606 KS) with Wilke Continental

C&D Burley Flake #2 in a MM Carolina Gent. Love how it's basically Burley Flake #1 sans perique. I like 'em both.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

True. Every time I try to get a great photo of Suzy or Molly, they either move or change expression so I don't quite get the shot I want.
