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

Some McConnell highgate in the trusty ropp. Sun is out in full effect!

Building raised beds for the wife’s garden…..plus 28 wheel barrels full of dirt and 10 buckets of aged manure…coffee and Ulhe’s in my cobs and workhorse pipes. Codger burley’s works best for me for outside labor and Uhle’s perfection plug is one of the best View attachment 301756

That sounds backbreaking! I remember when we leveled our yard and wheeled the excess dirt to fill a slope in the neighbour’s yard; then wheeling 5.5 cubic yards of pea gravel around the property. I’m glad that’s done (along with mowing lawn) and don’t envy your hauling all that dirt.

That sounds like fun!

I’d rather be out adventuring like you and Blue but I’ll take what I can get these days

 

[Briarcutter]

I'll be smoking some SWR+P during the event today. Be careful guys while filling your pipes. During the Ellipse the chambers may appear oval. It's a elliptical delusion no one can explain.....

Well…all our adventuring isn’t as illustrious as one might think.

 

[Scottmi]

Dark Holler with Salty Dogs in the Big Bent Lattice Meer and coffee. Gray and rainy out. Guessing I'm not going to notice the 20% coverage supposed to get where we're at.

More Pegasus, more cost-ello

Nice scenery, parked for a bit on my adventure

Good eclipse day all! Started with Carter Hall in an Upshall P Lovatt (double "t" in the catalog). Followed with GH Brown Flake Aromatic in a dedicated wee Tilshead smooth Dublin with flattened shank and matching eighth-bent tapered stem. Per a neighbor's warning, the SIg and Walther are cleaned and loaded just in case the eclipse triggers local wildlife to come looking for human meat. It's Florida.

A third of a bowl left of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Fed all the ferals except for Harry the Hairy.

Ascorti KS full of Butera Kingfisher (BVP).



All my Kingfisher is now in a large jar featuring a collection of tobacco from about 10 tins ranging in acquisition date from 2008-2011 (though the tins were previously in someone else's cellar - not sure of the actual tin dates). I noticed, a few years back, some of the seals were starting to go bad so I opted to pop them all and transfer them together in a large jar. So far, so good!

Cobblestone burley plug in a Herbaugh

No smoke before work today. I took the scooter to work, gas at $4.29 makes 33mpg more appealing for a 60mi round trip than the 11.5 my truck gets.
Having second bowl of the morning in a Briarlee Illustrious, earlier was University Flake, now it’s Sutliff Match Victorian.

Having some HU Delight (1/2 Directors, 1/2 Edward G + perique) in a ser jacopo with a cup of tea.

Good name. I mixed up 50gr. this afternoon.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Watching the progress of the eclipse with Dark Star.

 

[PipePint&Cross]

First pipe of the year in celebration of the eclipse. Sixpence in a Tsuge cherrywood sitter.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

About to fire up my Savinelli 645 KS bent apple short pipe with some Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River.

 

[john19]

Bengal Slices in Savinelli St. Nickolas 2022 320KS.

I love this pipe.

Excellent comeback
