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

[Sobrbiker]

Fighting the local battle against the invasive African weed that’s blighting central AZ, Stinknet (aka Globe Chamomile).
I’ve got the large three star Lee saddle stem Lovat stuffed with Yorktown/WarHorse Green 50/50 for the task.
Actually it’s a nice blend, should’ve let dry a bit after rubbing together.

Some C&D Bayou Night in a Rossi Billiard.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Listening to Nightbeat from my radio collection.

Lane 1-Q in Ferrarri brand bent pot with 22mmx35mm chamber. The pot shape really brings out the flavors of the tobacco even before it was lit. It smoked a bit hot at first due to wind gusts but I was able to sip it slow until done. Nice pipe, great tobacco.

 

[BenMN]

Nice blast on that poker JimInks.

Hillcrest, I am a strong fan of the pot-billiard shape.

Earlier it was C&D Burley flake #1 in a cob. Last smoke of the day is 1 year old Windjammer in a Danish Dublin from Kai Nielson.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Listening to an early episode of The Phil Harris-Alyce Show when the title was The Fitch Bandwagon from my radio collection. It was one of the best written comedies of the era.

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City English Ernie-ental 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Bayou Morning x Morgan Bones straight billiard

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking 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. Just fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger. They're so happy that they asked for extras, which they got. Too bad they don't believe in tipping the waiter.

Just finished off a pipeful of Rattray's Old Gowrie in my Moonshine Cannonball. What a smooth tobacco.

Thank you for your efforts! I really appreciate it. Most people don't even know anything about plants, ecology, or invasive species - not to mention the issues about them. And you are taking actions, that's very rare.

Finished work for the day, fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave. Abner the Eager wasn't there, but he usually doesn't show up when it rains. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

HH Burley Flake in an MM Washington.

 

[Birddog66]

@Birddog66 Is that the Erinmore Flake I sent you? Currently smoking Sillem's Musketeer in my clays.

Yes mate thank you. I see you paid the duty for the Musketeer.

 

[Ash Cooper]

Smoking this bad boy (hand carved) with some Robert Lewis: Tree Mixture

Morning everyone, starting with Salty Dogs in a 1916 Masta bulldog with Birmingham hallmark. Restoring the Civic I got this week, the Chester hallmark date letter is very worn but I can just make out a M for 1912. It’ll require a bit more work but there’s a lovely grain under the grime and once I’ve taken down the rim a bit to remove the chips it should look pretty good.
