***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of 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.

Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to the Challenge of the Yukon from my radio collection.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking year 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Tomato the Brave hasn't seemed as hungry as usual the past three days, so we tried some wet food that he hasn't had before, and he ate as fast as he could. I figured he needed a little more variety, and am happy that was the case. Everybody else ate except for the absent Abner the Eager, who snoozed next to m'lady earlier this evening.

Part way through this bowl of Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Working and listening to The Jack Benny Program from my radio collection.

 

[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.

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style. Been reading baseball box scores. I'll end the day with this smoke.

Finally decided to crack open one of my tins of Orlik Golden Sliced that ive been letting sit for the last year. Scratched the itch, thats for sure. Still one of my favorite tobaccos.
