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

[lukasstrifeson]

Can't believe it's August already!

Lighting up a bowl of 2017 ESO Margate in this Doctor's Bamboozled Hang Pot:

 

[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. I have put this story aside three times for other jobs, and hope I can finish it tonight so I'll be ready for the next story, which will be here tomorrow.

Smoking a bowl of SPC Hogshead. There’s an upfront flavor to this blend I can’t quite discern but I think it may be brown bread. Anyone agree?

I think the bread content, which is high, comes from the inherent nature of the Virginias.

HH Bold Kentucky in a Tekin.

Kingsfoil from The Country Squire before bed tonight. Smoking this fine blend in a Rossi Mezzanotte 8644 Bent Brandy.

2012 Eileen's Dream in a dragon with sword by Yanik with a glass of Kelt VSOP Cognac:

Smoking Pegasus in a straight Dr. Grabow Tru-grain bulldog with coffee.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Put the fleabay meer to work while working around the property. Smoking some aro/codger blends of my own.
First was “Q-Anirum”: 1Q/Sunset Rum/Windsor 805 Match (2:1:1)

Then we had “Undecided”: BLWB/Yorktown/Habana Daydream/805 (4:2:1:1)


If I liked cherry, I’d have done Blood Red Moon because the pic does zero justice to the amazing moonrise we had this evening.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Thank you. Prayers are eagerly accepted.

May the surgeon skilled and having a great day!

Regarding the archery, I’m thinking you’re a stick bow gal….

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

The moon was stunning here in Nashville too. Just huge and so clear; a real stunner. Always so difficult to capture it.

 

[Scottmi]

Still August 1st where I am! Viprati in a Viprati Sabbiata with brindle stem. Long day, but all good.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Molly Danger has been extra hungry tonight, which is unusual because she's a small cat who mostly nibbles when she eats.

 

[Steddy]

GL Pease Chelsea Morning in a Savinelli Siena 316 KS. My taste for Latakia has returned and I am a happy man for it.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

CVP in a Rad Davis.

 

[UncleRasta]

Greetings all. I'm starting August by getting acquainted with OGS. I've had 3.5 oz in a jar for about a year and haven't been wowed thus far. Let's see what familiarity will breed

 

[JimInks]

Finally finished that job, fed Daisy the Feral Princess, Tomato the Brave and Abner the Eager. Had to feed Abner away from the other two so all could eat peacefully. Daisy and Tomato aren't overly fond of Abner who tries to be friends. Daisy and Tomato have been together for years, so they get along, but they don't want another cat on their turf. Anyway, I'm passing the half way mark on this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LBS Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to read about all the trades in baseball today. The "less important" ones don't always get mentioned on TV.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Reading baseball box scores.

 

[Birddog66]

SG Black Forest in one of the clay pipes @Birddog66 sent me.
@Birddog66 Glad you're back!

Thank you Dan I hope you enjoy the pipes.
