***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

Mix it with Molto Dolche...

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. LOL

Grey, windy, chilly here at the Avalon Ballroom & Smoking Salon, but
I'm getting my kicks with a Root 56.*

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with unsalted peanuts and pecans and a Sugar Bee apple on the side. I'm half way through this bowl of C&D Anthology 2023 in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.

A third of the way through this bowl of C&D Anthology 2023 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer billiard with a black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I finished the drawing and the ink is drying. I'm nearing the half way mark of this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Time to feed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger.

Jim I'd love to see some of your artwork if you'd be willing to share with us.

@Ben.R.C @Tate Do you think it would suit the King's Clay???

I suspect so!

So, finally I got the Virus for the first time. Feeling better now (actually I never felt especially bad, only a strong headache the first day) and smoking St Bernard Flake in the Canasta pipe.
I' like to share a thought: I have surprised myself with how much uncomfortable I was with the fact that even temporarily, I lost my everyday's routine and "program", simple things like going to work with the train (which involves some walking to/from the station, and pure reading time in the train), my workouts every evening (50% for body exercising purposes, 50% for stress relief), smoking my pipe of course etc. Aah, a sign (another one) of age I guess. But man must be more flexible and adaptive.
Back to St Bernard: it was given to me (an almost full tin) by a pipe friend, I thought there was a small amount of Latakia in it but then I read that it's Perique, which gives the spicy tones to this well balanced blend. I've already put it in the "buy/smoke again" list.

Be all well good people!
