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

[Chasing Embers]

2012 Old Dark Fired for work today.

So, that's it. Last bowl (for me) of 2022. Another year passed. Another year plus to the amount each one has summed until now. Another year minus from the -unknown- amount that has been left for everyone. During this period (the second) I guess all we can do is try to have fun and enjoy life, love, work, create, do some good things and don't forget those that are in need and of course load and smoke our pipes!

Καλή Χρονιά! Kali Chronia! Happy new year to all of you good people!

Happy New Year and may God Bless you and your family!

Certainly true, and the precision could possibly be refined down to the Amboseli basin region as well along with the long history of the area. However, I've sadly given up trying to enlighten people's geography knowledge a long time ago, I don't have enough hair left for the frustration. After being asked several times if I flew or drove the last time I visited Xinjiang, China, I finally started answering that I rented a car because of the long miles. That was easier than explaining continents, countries, regions, peoples, and cultures to people who went to the same schools I did but seemingly slept through it all and don't care about understanding. Let's just smoke a pipe, find a little peace where we can, and offer a bit of smoke up to the forgotten, the lost, and each other.

Yes I know, I am frequently living in South Africa. Most people in Germany don’t have a clue where on the planet that is. “Oh Africa!” or even better “That’s in the south of Africa?”are stereotypes. I am a little pettish with those things. But glad to hear you rented a car to get from Alabama to Xinjang. Hope you had a nice trip ;-)

Back out in the fog to break in my new Bones mini churchwarden brandy with some SG 1792 flake. It is a fun pipe. Clenches well. Thoroughly pleased with it.

Here is the pipe. It has moved to the top of my list in its single use. I know these pipes are not for everyone, but I like to have pipes that I can drop and beat up without feeling bad (see my post about dropping my brand new Peterson spigot - ugh...still feeling that one)

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. It's supposed to rain most of the day, so no walking for now.

Finishing off the year 2022 with a bowl of C&d Folklore in a Nording smooth bent dublin. Happy New years Eve Everyone!

At a rest stop on the highway. PS Luxury Twist Flake in a clay. The last smoke of 2022. Happy New Year to all!

Finishing off 2022 with the last of this tin of Oriental Square in a Peterson SH Mycroft.

Interestingly, this tobacco and pipe combination was my first post in the December WAYS thread. See you guys next year.

Last smoke of the year, Anglers Dream, in a MM Cob. Here's hoping and praying that 2023 is a better year for us all.

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 Dunhill Elizabethan Match Plug in a black sandblasted quarter bend 2015 Rossi Vittoria author with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave slept on my deck and were waiting for me to feed them. They got extras! Shy Stripesy doesn't go out in the rain, so I don't expect to see her.

I was worried about this blend being too strong, well, I don’t think it is. I really like the steak and mushroom vibe it gives.

Just finishing this bowl of BW Back Down South in the Bones Skinny Paul. Took a slow walk around the neighborhood to complete a roll of Kodak Tri-X in my grandpa's Pentax K1000. Thinking about some new photo projects for next year. Perfect pipe for smoking while wielding a camera.


Happy New Year everyone!

Well it’s 2023 here already, so happy new year!

Starting this one off with a bang.

Popped a tin from the early 80s. Absolutely divine. Enjoying it in a Charles Maas.

Happy New Year everyone!

Man does that bring me back - I used to shoot a lot. I miss the days of film. There was something about developing and printing. The whole process was wonderful. Now it is instant gratification.
