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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am going to work with a bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

C&D Haunted Bookshop in no name Italian bent pipe I bought back in 1990.

I ordered a couple pounds several months back and this was still in the shipping box, so I figured it was about time to jar it up. 8 oz./jar in 4 jars. I had about 15 grams left over after jarring it so that’s what I’ve been smoking this afternoon/evening.

I don’t smoke it often, but it’s one of my favorite Burley blends. Chocolate, nuts, sweetness and plum with a little sharpness here and there. I can stretch this out for a couple hours. Listening to Ziggy on Zoomer radio CFZM 740 AM Toronto.

Decided to end the day with Warped Red Hunt in a little Castello 55...but then the F&T Blackjack raised its hand and jumped in the Falcon. The WRH will have to wait its turn.

I love figuring out the right blend and pipe to fit the situation and mood.

Not a clue. Leads me to believe it's less of a no name than it was listed as.

Just finished smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

This would be fairly simple for a skilled carver, I am sure you are aware of Chinese puzzle balls!

Indeed, but not typical for an inexpensive no name.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half sandblasted Savinelli Autograph 4 military mount with a pearl brown acrylic ferrule and saddle stem. Fed the ferals, and did some other stuff.
