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

[JimInks]

Off to work with a 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. Going to listen to Dick Tracy from my radio collection.

92 Dunhill with Sun Bear. Tupelo. I believe I like last years offering much better. Yes, I can distinguish the Tupelo Honey. That is odd, it actually has a Tupelo taste. Maybe the blend will grow on me. I purchased 8 tins.

Home from the first neighborhood "appetizer potluck" in a few years now. Delightful! Also delightful is the last bowl from my first tin of the fabulous SPC Deception Pass in the Viprati Sabbiata, with an orange juice old fashioned. Contentment abounds.

Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake in an 8 inch Martin Canadian. Thought I’d try the Flake for the heck of it. It’s really good like the other versions, maybe just a tad smoother. It really is my favorite modern English at the moment.

The wife was game enough to shoot clays with me this morning so I was game to go see Barbie with her. Now I need some strong tobacco, beer, and whiskey. HH Rustica in a Savinelli Siena 315 KS.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Man, I see the resemblance. But only one is getting darker?

Windjammer in a Georg Jensen bent brandy. I usually smoke this blend in a smaller bent acorn, but for some reason tonight I switched it up and I may never go back.

There is something to be said for a long ass shank for a cooler smoke I think, this blend smokes cool in the first place, but I can puff like a freight train, as JimInks would say, no worry bout getting too hot.

enjoying the first smoke in this Ashton Brindle. Based off how it’s smoking right off the bat, I may have a new favorite.

After some killer homemade hotdogs and fries I'm sitting down with a Rossi Poker and a bowl of SPC Galloping Gertie. A can of Diet Dr Pepper is my drink. View attachment 238319

Damn nice Rossi! That line exceeds my expectations regularly. I may have to recalibrate..and start shopping.
