***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

[Lyon0oq]

Finished my day yesterday with a bowl of my own blend, Faulkner 509!! Don't be too impressed, lol, it is just Faulkner Flake from The Country Squire mixed 50/50 with Blend 509 from the old Nat Sherman Metropolitan Tabac line.

Geometrie in a Nording Dublin.

The way I cut the plug I'm having a hell of a time keeping it lit, so I'm not really tasting the blend. It's sort of a large cude cut and next time I'll pay more attention to cutting it in ribbons.

Brown Sugar Flake in my Former paneled lovat.

Rouxgaroux again in a different size bowl. I bought a pound of it so I’m trying to find how it smokes best. In a L’anatra 2 egg natural, it’s getting a nice patina on it. Oh and I’m using my wife’s new phone for pictures

Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader in a (I think 1920’s-1930’s) Comoy’s old bruyere pot.

Finally nice enough for the back deck. Strawberry Vanilla Smoothie (KBV San Valentino mixed with Lane 1Q) in SMS Meer and a Laphroaig Quarter Cask chaser.

Really great photo, thanks for sharing it!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I took out the trash and recycle, fed the ferals, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown post-1964 Parker Super Bruyere 88/F group 3 bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Does it really taste like a strawberry vanilla smoothie!?

Half way through this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon.

Dunhill Flake, Oh so good

Switched to a plastic pool glass and now enjoying this in the hot tub:

1/2 bowl of C&D Autumn Evening in the vauen bent egg. Very relaxing evening smoke.

It hit 77 degrees today and the spiders are out and about hunting. Tonight there is a cross orb weaver on the backdoor wall under the light --- it looks like this only darker:
they eat bugs and don't bother anyone.

I killed a Hobo spider walking across the driveway this afternoon ... they're vicious and their bite, if not treated, can cost you a limb from necrosis (they came from china and crossed from west to east on railway cars):

Did a second set of walking reps, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
