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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken primavera and snow peas dinner with a bowl of freshly made made chocolate pudding for dessert. I'm just finished smoking year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. Every time I smoke this pipe, I think about how lucky I am to own it. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Beautiful night here in the Florida Panhandle! Earl Grey and some great burley tonight!

Voodoo Queen in a Tekin.

Whiskey Biscuit Gravy (incredible name) in a Savinelli

If you only gave me 3 words to describe the south this would be in the running.

In a mood after work stress from the last few weeks so I'm setting things right with some 2019 Squadron Leader in "Happy Hedgehog Smoking A Pipe And Drinking A Beer" by S. Yanik with a a glass of 13 year old Highland Park "Cask Of The Earth" Scotch while watching my 4 year old daughter enjoy the hot tub:

Just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a post 2007 Castello straight brown Sea Rock KK US made in Cantu (Kimo) apple with a tapered black acrylic stem. Watching the Dodgers-Rockies game.

Union square again.

Nearing the first third of this bowl of Sutliff Presbyterian in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Off to the studio to finish the Josie and the Pussycats story I've been working on. I wish I was allowed to post the last page because it's heavily loaded with figure work and musical instruments. Took a while to do all of that.

Last of these Nat Cicco Casino Reals.

Love that stem transition!

Love that stem transition!

It adds a little bit of flare to it. This was the second pipe he made. I think he will be turning out some awesome pipes in a few years.

Finishing the last bits of CRF 2020 in Smokehouse meer. Got a lot of flavor out of the bits. Quite nice. Now deciding what tin/bag of Virginia to put in the empty jar. I’m thinking KBV Your Welcome or Hogsheads. Kids voted Tilsbury. I’ll let my weekend self decide.

Escudo in a Castello Shape 32.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Smoked more of my 514-RC1/Yorktown/John Marr mixture and some more GLP Sixpence.
Oddly, at least today the mix was more appealing than the ‘pence…

 

[starrynight]

Had an excellent bowl of Capstan Blue Flake--deep caramel really shined through.

 

[Nevaditude]

Finished 2 bowls of Sutliff 1M in Peterson 303H System. Tasty!

 

[JimInks]

Finished the Josie story, and this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Then had some of the always excellent "Killarney' from Ted's Pipe Shoppe of Tulsa Oklahoma in my Peterson Deluxe 11FB System.
