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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, a rack and two thirds of baby back ribs, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn dinner with a bowl of freshly made strawberry ice ream for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of 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. It's too humid for coffee, so ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Brewers game with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' in the bed room. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' on her blanket. The other ferals are outside.

Morning all, smoking some McConnell Red Virginia in a Castello #33. This one is stamped “hand made” from the Scotti era.

Had my first bowl ever of SPC Mississippi River Special Reserve Flake in a bishop & knight clay. The tin was compromised upon arrival and had dried out to crispy, so I crumbled up a bowlful and rehydrated by exhaling into the bowl. That seemed to do the trick, as the smoke was delicious - piney, spicy, but no bite whatever. (Note, I did contact the folks that sold me the damaged tin and they shipped a replacement, I just didn’t have the heart to toss the dried out product. I look forward to trying some of this in standard condition at a future smoke.)

Tonight’s front porch smoke was the MM again with Sutliff estate blend.

I get why the codgers liked Carter hall. If it is like this it’s pretty tasty.

Our power came back on after the powerful storm hit Ohio. Basking in the electric lights of my garage enjoying a bowl or two of Erinmore Flake in my little Sasieni Two Dot. Sorry, no pics

Our power came back on after the powerful storm hit Ohio. Basking in the electric lights of my garage enjoying a bowl or two of Erinmore Flake in my little Sasieni Two Dot. The Erinmore was "cellared" sitting in a local shop for three years. It is way smoother and pleasant than the Captain Black White I smoked earlier today. Sorry, no pics

Wayne Shorter was amazing. Never got to see him live in person but have listened for years.

Flaked off half a flake of Peterson Flake in order to win the award for most times "flake" can be used in a sentence without being a total flake.

It will go on the mantle, alongside my assortment of awards for most obnoxious posts on here.

Used my straight VA pipe, a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bulldog. Perfect way to end what looks to be the last of these humid, 80-something degree days for at least a little while, thankfully.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, House finch, California towhee, Steller's jay, American crow, Cooper's hawk, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Hairy woodpecker, Northern flicker, Mountain chickadee, Brewer's blackbird, Mourning dove, and Western bluebird.

Happy belated 113th birthday to Lucille Ball, by the way. Wouldn't want to flake on that one...

Still slow sipping the Sutliff 507-C in the Barontini 1/2 spigot bent billiard (20mmx52mm chamber) from after dinner ... simply sublime ... one of my favorite pipes now. I had to learn to smoke it correctly and its one I actually try to smoke even slower to maximize flavor. A true pleasure. Will probably have to finish bowl in the morning.
