***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

First pipe in the briar (and other woods) "phase" of my rotation. It is the annual pipe for 2024, made for the members of the Greek Pipe Club by George Leoussis.
I found a small Bic Lighter on the the street today, it's working, I used it to light my pipe.
In it: scraps and leftovers.
A nice coming weekend to all of you good people!

As I have mentioned before, I love your maritime art, and thank you for sharing. This one, I admit, gives this inland landlubber the shivers. May I ask, who is the artist, and what is its title?

Hi Carol. I think it is this painter. Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky was a Russian romantic painter. He is considered one of the best marine artists in history. Named Hovhannes Aivazian, Aivazovsky was born into an Armenian family in the Black Sea port of Feodosia in the Crimea, living there most of his life.

Happy Friday! Well through some well aged Mac Baren Plumcake in this recently acquired 1935 Dunhill Patent 111 - been looking a long time for a late 30s era Dumhill billiard - maybe George VI enjoyed it! If he did he ghosted it well, haha. I’ll have to try this blend in another pipe because what gets through the ghosting is good.

I have a few leftovers in jars which I’m smoking down and this morning I’ve mixed 50/50 Opening Night/PS Cube Cut in the Virgin Castello as I amble over to the workshop to see what the boys are up too.

I had to revisit the KBV, Patience of Dr. Silence (thanks @PrivatePiping) after smoking it yesterday.
The “TD” made in Japan 7.5 “ clay is ready to go!

Right at two acres. I'm using a walk behind. I have a lawn tractor but this is a good way to get some exercise. As I get older, I've found that I need to take breaks every once in awhile.

Ethel has taken to sleeping up in her basket lately. No other cats go up there, so she can safely rule from the highest peak in the house.

I especially like the feline apparatus. Reminiscent of the family room at my house.
