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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching The Marx Brothers marathon on TCM.

It’s time for a clay and 5 brothers. The clay king is a reminder to smoke my clay.

I'm having some Pegasus in a Pete Christmas 23 Canadian. I am beginning The Fellowship of the Ring tonight. This copy was part of a box set I received for Christmas in 1995. I've read this particlar set almost every year since 95. I have many editions of most of Tolkien's work. But when I read LOTR, I only ever read from this first set I had. And this is the first time I'll be reading along with a pipe to smoke. That feels special!

Mixture #79 in a Savinelli extra 507 brushed bulldog, and a large PBR. Haven't smoked much for a few days because I had what was apparantly the latest covids, made everything smell like old onions and my throat was sore for 10 days. Overall much nicer than 2020 covid.

Half way through this bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem.

Happy New Year everyone!

Smoking Two Friends English Chocolate in a Missouri Pride. I find the taste very similar to Bob’s Chocolate Flake. I’m loving it so far. It’s easy to light up and smoke

Those grinders are a must have for me, me and flakes don't get along very well.

They do. I may be in the minority here but I actually like Flavia’s more often.
