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

[The Clay King]

Cannon Plug in a clay. Need to cut down on the pipeweed & beer if I'm going to save GBP1000 over 2 years
Given up plastic packeted crisps, biscuits, chocolate, sweets & tobacco; feeling better for it!
Foraged & free fruit is the best

Always great to see the mailman when you are expecting an order...Cuban Mixture in a Marxman.

 

[Servant King]

Last smoke of the month is drying on a paper towel, the final half-dozen coins of a jar of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake, to be loaded shortly into an Al Pascia meerschaum billiard. This blend has never let me down, so long as I dry it adequately.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, House finch, California towhee, Steller's jay, American crow, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Mountain chickadee, Mourning dove, and Western bluebird.

The countdown to autumn begins in earnest! Happy weekend!!

Enjoyed a big and tasty banana split, and am smoking Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a 1984 black rusticated full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.


The fella who adopted Long Tail (now named Maggie) sent us this photo of her so we could see what she looks like now.


The lady who adopted Shy Orange Tabby (now named Ringo) sent us these two photos today.

Currently smoking my Old Sea Captain meerschaum with some Cornell and Diehl - Pirate Kake.

Perhaps i have a dull palate, but the licorice doesn't come across as distinctly licorice to me at all. I think the spice from the topping plays well with the perique element to make something quite unique. Tell you what, i like it, so if you put it on a future order and hate it, just pm me. I'll do a satisfaction-guarantee buy back program for yas. I wouldn't mind having another tin around anyway.

Onto the afternoon programming...time to tune into a bowl of St James Flake in a Bellezia w/ horn.

Deal Maybe it would work for me as well then because I don't have the most discerning palate either.

I haven't disliked any HU tobacco blend yet. Trying out another new one now, just started a bowl of JU 52 in my new Viking Cosgun meer.

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. The house temp went down from 96 to 79. It'll get cooler before long, though. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.

Going with some Elizabethan in my bing.

It’s a markedly better experience in this pipe than my Peterson.

Watch City Spiked Spumoni in a Morgan Bones. Pairing very nicely with this IPA with notes of "apricots and red berries".
