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

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Tomato the Brave decided that my feet were clean enough to lay on, so it looks I'm trapped until he moves. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin'.

Passing the last third of this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend straight grain with a pointy bottom and a wide top with a black acrylic stem. Reading baseball box scores.

Near the half way mark of this bowl of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. I should be able to end the day with this smoke. Fed all the ferals except for Tomato the Brave, who is still snoozin' by my feet. Fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, too. Have four more box scores to read.

Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish in my very well used and well loved aromatic blend dedicated Country Gentleman cob tonight. I'm not sure how many pounds of Captain Black Original, Lane RLP-6, and various cherry blends have been through this pipe over the years, but it's still my best and most comfortable aromatic smoker.

Cigar Time: H Upmann The Banker Daytrader

When I was in Cuba I tried almost all brands of cigars. I liked H Upman (and unfiltered cigarettes of the same company), but for some reason Punch was my favorite.

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.

Jim, as to the box scores from last night..... I know that you and @PaulRVA are big fans of baseball. I am sure that by now you have seen the triple-play that the Angels pulled on the Dodgers last night. It happened so quickly, it was hard to follow. What timing, discipline, reflexes and a bit of luck.........
