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

[TexJake]

How do you like it?

It was pretty good. I’ll have to try it after a little more drying, the first third was a little underwhelming and somewhat bitter, but after the halfway point it was very good. Only one bowl down so far, so I’ll reserve judgement until I have more time with it.

Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.

Cool, I look forward to hearing how it progresses for you!

Had a low calorie snack, and am smoking 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Just finished work, fed three ferals, and smoked a bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip.

Now smoking Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave (the nickname is facetious because he's a lover and not a fighter) is at the door crying for some attention. I'll bundle up and spend a few minutes with the li'l bugger.
