***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, salmon and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Tomorrow's going to be an off diet day! I'm half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes as I watch the Braves-Marlins game. Abner the Eager showed up to eat a few minutes ago. I don't think I was ever happier to see a feral than I was at that moment after what I saw experienced today. He got a lot of attention and food.

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to start work on a new Sabrina story.

2021 Union Square in my Dr Grabow bulldog.



Usually, this pipe is dedicated to English blends, but once in a while I like to run a straight Virginia through it and allow those hints of Latakia to pop up in the background. Great smoke, especially once the wind died down.

Had C&D Eight State Burley in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 rusticated bent pot. Celebrating a successful encounter with the in-laws. Another gem, 9.1/10

Bird report: California towhee, White-crowned sparrow, House finch, California scrub-jay, California quail, Steller's jay, Common raven, American crow, Northern flicker, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Hairy woodpecker, and Western bluebird.

Sipping a vodka tonic, not getting my ass utterly kicked by wifey in Scrabble at the moment, which is a surprise because I'm a bit distracted thinking about my b-day tomorrow and what blends I might have. Going to break in the Irish Harp, that's for sure, but everything else is a question mark.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2019 C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to The Adventures of Superman as I work.
