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

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed all the ferals, Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. Going to listen to a Perry Mason audio book.

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

This begs a comparison of darkening bald spots. Do I only smoke the Meer in the sun without a hat? This reminds me of an old Confucius saying, “Hungry bald man sit in sun get baked bean”.

 

[Steddy]

Need a movie report!

Definitely a separate thread.

With the warm weather, I’ve mostly been smoking cigars out on the porch. I just finished one and it started to rain. I’ve been aching to smoke this blend and pipe for weeks, but we’ve had company recently and have been running around. I’m going to have Savinelli 140° (1358/2800) in my 60th Birthday pipe, a virgin, sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Extraordinaire (Eccezionale) Fan.



Most of you know the story behind this pipe, but if not, you can read about it here.

A tad more than a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Fed the cats again, and it's time for me to do a few things.
