***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

Just had Dads bday dinner.
Looks like a storms about to be rolling through.
In the meantime I’ve got some 2011 McClelland MV24 in the Musico Apple.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Mets game. Harry the Hairy wants out, and I'll do that, and let Tomato the Brave in for his feeding time as soon as I post this.

I needed a nice strong pipe…Rustica, Pegasus and Bobs chocolate in a very old cob

Just opened a tin of C&D Sun Bear Navy Cask, decided to have a bowl of it with about 5 minutes of drying time. Jarred the rest of the tin. Enjoying it in a Brigham Voyageur #116 Rhodesian with a cup of black tea.

@Skink Clan in a clay. Burns hot in a clay; the Cavaliers & Roundheads say you don't want a baccy that burns like gunpowder

I'll agree with that.

My wife was born and raised in Louisville. The houses and street in the background of your photo are very reminiscent of the architecture of her street. Great town.
She lived in the St. Matthews community.

We had a short but heavy shower this afternoon. It stopped quickly and the sun popped out. I think the heat index doubled with that extra humidity in the air.
Had some Pegasus in a Bones "Bing" style billiard. Sparkling water to drink.

Ah sure I know St Matt’s well.
I’m in the heart of Germantown. Different part of town, but similar build dates of the homes.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Wall Street w/o perique in a year 1987 ebony full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess wasn't hungry, but Tomato the Brave was. He ate plenty, and then came over to me licking his chops, and gave me a happy "meow". After a little head scratching, he settled down, and is snoozin' by my feet. I put Harry the Hairy outside because as soon as Tomato walked in, Harry started to follow him. Maybe he wanted to play, maybe it was the territorial thing, or maybe he thought he'd get wet food like Tomato did. Just didn't want to take any chances. Harry will be back in before long.

She said her parents lived in G'town when they first married. She said she thinks it was on McHenry street or something like that.

Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Jim’s Special Flake 2023 in a black rusticated full bend 1984 Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. This is the third of my three Twain Petes. After my last post, I mentioned Tomato the Brave to m'lady. He heard his name, got up, and jumped on my lap for a while. He didn't like having his photo taken, and continually moved his face away from the camera, but I did get to take one. When I got up to get more coffee, Tomato jumped to the floor and is snoozin' by my feet again. Sleepy Suzy is by my side now.

Oh that's Awesome! What a pipe!

Thanks, man. They listed it as a "museum" piece or something like that. I certainly thought it was an intriguing one-of-a-kind and was surprised at how light it was when it arrived. Excellent clencher. Mostly dedicated to Pegasus at my bedside, but as you can tell i do tend to take random left turns every once in a while. I know from extensive driving in unfamiliar cities that a few left turns do eventually make a right.

Firing up a bowl of Edgeworth Sliced in a large Pierluigi freehand and driving to town to sniff out some dinner. Not in the mood to cook at the moment.
