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

[Sandblast]

A couple of young fellas were throwing a football to each other, and I asked if they'd let me. They kind of chuckled at the idea, especially when I told them that I hadn't throw one in over forty years. So they gave me the football, and I made three throws to make them run their tails off. I was the one laughing after that, and they just looked astonished to see a man my age catch and throw that far with a pipe in his mouth.

Just smoked a very small bowl of a now-unavailable blend - Parsons' Pleasure, just Virginias I believe - in a very small corn-cob, outside and late at night. Yum!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rock fish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Tradition 305 apple military mount with a sterling silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I have to ask, are you a reptile keeper? Or how did you get the name skink?

Skink is a Carl Hiaasen character that appears in a lot of his novels. In some aspects, I can relate to the character, so I started using Skink as my CB handle decades ago. If you're looking for a mindless, yet entertaining read, that you will find yourself laughing aloud at, I recommend his work.

Absolutely! I will look it up. I like reading everything I can get my hands on.

Escudo in a cheap (but not bad!) La Rocca with a PBR. Nautical meets hipster - which describes pipe smoking and my beard pretty well also.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2002 Reiner Long Golden Flake in a smooth dark brown quarter bend 1950s Comoy’s Blue Riband 187 yachtsman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

It all starts with "Double Whammy". If you enjoy this style of reading, may I also suggest Tim Dorsey and Christopher Moore.

I don’t think I’ve posted a picture of this pipe on this site yet; it’s Hardcastle diplomat. I bought it new in 2001 during a short trip to London. It’s a very reliable smoker and one of my favorites to hold – so comfortable. Today it was loaded with the last of my corn silk/burley/cherry blend. With a couple of weeks for the blend to sit and marry, it was a remarkably pleasant smoke. In this pipe’s small chamber (1” deep by 13/16ths” wide) the mixture lasted 45 minutes with two relights. There was virtually no corn notes, just a nice sweet burley flavor throughout.

Thank you for the recommendation
