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

[Streeper541]

@Streeper541 : Is that the actual one used in the film? Is it still in use?

Yes, that is the real site. No, it ceased operation in 1990 and is no longer in use. The original complex is now a museum. A newer, modern prison has been built behind it on the same grounds.

I didn't visit today, but was working down the street so took a break there. I was however fortunate enough to get a special tour once from a close friend who happened to be incarcerated there back in the 80's.

The 10% chance of precipitation turned into 100% chance a little bit ago. So, I decided I’d sit it out in the garage and have a quick smoke before lunch. I haven’t smoked any straight Izmir Turkish in a while. Decided to pack some into grandpa‘s KW 12B, Relief Meerschaum Bulldog.
I forgot how much I enjoy this Izmir straight.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia in a smooth light brown slight bent year 2017 Moretti δδδδ1 pot with a tapered black acrylic stem. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink. Lavazza coffees are very delectable.

Almost half way through this bowl of first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

[JimInks]

Did a second set of walking reps on this sunny, humid day, and am close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Rum and Maple in a straight smooth with a tobacco leaf carving on the bottom left, dark brown 1980s Sir Brent pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is a cheap one, but it clenches well when I walk, and I get good aromatic flavor from it.

 

[RobNYC]

Three Friars in a Rinaldo Sahara bent egg.

 

[Fralphog]

Decided to smoke another one of grandpa‘s KW pipes, a 88S Bulldog packed with a personnel mixture:
80% Boswell Best Arro
10% C&D Red Virginia Rbn
10% C&D Perique
And a cup of strong black tea

 

[JimInks]

Just got a couple of Ken Byron blends to beta test. I'm now smoking KBV Mr. Christian’s beta test in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Good night. After a light dinner, we are going to start by smoking with. C&D: Byzantium, in a MM General, and a small cup brandy.
