***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

[Winnipeger]

SG St. James Flake in my Punto Oro Gold 701 lovat earlier today. Since I'm exclusively an outdoor smoker I'm not too pleased that the Arctic Vortex has already descended on to the Prairies. I expect it to sit here until April. If it doesn't I'll be pleasantly surprised. Lovely smoke despite the windchill. I'll be inured soon enough. It's always a fun surprise finding out what the winter has in store for us.

It was a good day with the Pipe!

Too cold and too late for me to go out for a pipe, so instead checking out livestream of the lunar surface from the Orion spacecraft.

This morning I filled a bowl in the Sav 320 with some MB Balkan blend before family came for a roast lunch. I’m now smoking it whilst I wander the garden.

Just finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Hadn't heard of the Dark Flake Aro before - just looked it up and sounds really good! but the cited nic-level is making me woozy from here..

It’s really a fantastic blend. For an “aromatic,” it’s very tobacco forward. Ha! I have yet to experience the nic-level that is talked about for this one.

Going to have Wilke No. 515 in an E. Wilke NYC Squashed Tomato.



The UFC card was solid and exciting tonight—nine out of the fourteen fights were finishes.

I know you dedicate pipes to certain blends and read you had a nude meerschaum. This combo (and the coloring) just plain work aesthetically.

Brilliant!

Half way through this bowl of C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 billiard with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I had a fun evening at our Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club Christmas party, at Arlington Pipe and Cigar Lounge.
A tasty buffet was provided. Following dinner, I stuffed some Samovar into my Alex Florov pipe (the one in my avatar).
Later, Fred Hanna generously offered a bowl of 1999 Margate for my Charatan's Make 8 DC blasted bulldog (the first "expensive" pipe I ever bought in 1966 for $35.) Wow! that was a great smoke. I shared a bottle of 1792 Small Batch Bourbon with my table mates, and a great time was had by all.

 

[JimInks]

Finished work for the day, and am close to finishing this bowl of C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. I'll likely end the day with this smoke. Just fed Suzy and Molly, plus three ferals. Had to chase a possum away before I could do it.

 

[JimInks]

Well, I still have a few things to do before bed time, so I picked a short smoke to end the day: Watch City Queequeg’s Moby Dick Series in a slight bend smooth brown post WWII 1940s Sasieni Ivory 101 Westminster diplomat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Good morning guys. Starting today's third pipe, with an mb bowl: Virginia Flake, on a MM Cobbler pipe. And another Irish coffee. 14 degrees, (57.2 °F ) in the city. I wish you a happy Sunday, and may God bless you.

I have absolutely no recollection of this weekend, must've been great!
Having some coffee in clay and hot milk with honey in a glass. I feel like I haven't eaten in three days.
The coffee blend is a real success, I'm very happy with it. And the pairing with the honeyed milk, oh boy.
Just lovely. Enjoy your sunday!

@Chaukisch Clan in a clay. Getting a bit fed up of it now...
How's the Clay King???

Jeez, even I would've been fed up by now.
The Clay King is doing great, I'll post an update later!
