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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins and a golden delicious apple on the side. Then, I ate a few potato chips. Haven't done that in years. Have a quarter of a bowl left of Watch City Beta Test VaBur Final Version in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with a unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem. I devoted two pipes to this soon-to-be released OTC-like blend created by Ernie and me.

F&K Bat with a Hat in my AKB meer. I snuck some caramel syrup and Bailey’s Irish Cream into my coffee. A great combo all around!

Enjoyed a tasty peach sandwich, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Larry's Espresso #9, neat, is my drink. It's time for my weekly pipe zoom.

Back to Midsommar this afternoon. Partly for something lighter, partly to see if the K&K Caribbean Blue Bellamy would color a smoke that follows it (it doesn't). Though I may load some of that up later if I have the time.

Watching a new Irish drama with a nice Pinot Noir and Eso Tilbury in this 1921 LB Record with 9ct gold band and orific bit. This is another I picked up unused and it fits perfectly in the empty slot in Civic Senate case until I find the pipe to replace it with.

Started the day with some SPC Down Yonder. Still not sure about the blend but it’s early days. Continuing my straight Virginia kick of late with some McClelland Dark Star and some rye whisky, neat.

PS Luxury Twist Flake in Peterson Aran 999 P-Lip, grilling up some chicken and drinking whiskey sours with my wife, admiriing her flower garden from the patio. What a day!
Enjoy your evening!!

Some Carole-Burns-blended Gramercy Park in a rusticated estate original Caminetto Business billiard with saddle-bit featuring the gold-stamped mustache. In his book Rare Smoke - The Ultimate Guide to Pipe Collecting, author Richard Carleton Hacker said of these, "During its 12-year reign, Caminetto was one of the finest smoking Italian briars available due to its variety of unique finishes and a curing process that made for an unbelievably dry smoke." I can vouch for the dry-smoke claim, it's true, and this pipe is simply a joy.

A third of a bowl left of Watch City Beta Test VaBur Final Version in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
