***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

[BenMN]

Some leftover smokers pride cherry cavendish mixed with something in an unlabeled ziploc in the Vauen Olaf bent egg. While smoking I saw a large bird flying along the river. I wasn't sure if it was a bald eagle, osprey or Turkey vulture ... its wingspan was at least 6' across I estimate; based on its overall dark color and greyish underwing feathers my money would be on a full grown turkey vulture but it was flying the same path as an eagle I once saw so it could have been either ... I didn't see the head clearly though. Nice bird, o.k. smoke.

Would be incredible to see a Sea Eagle. Maybe??

Rare and Giant Steller's Sea Eagle Spotted Thousands of Miles From Home in Eastern Canada Park

The bird, thought to be the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, is presumed to be Stella, an out-of-place raptor spotted at sites across North America in recent years

Not me, don’t do the book of faces.

I don't do that dumpster fire either.

Watching it snow and smoking Kingfisher.

I would love to see that but what I saw didn't have the white backside and orange feet. I sure it was a vulture or eagle ... most likely full grown vulture. We do have osprey, herons, night herons (once on my roof and left a large present! - I'm sure that's good luck in some ancient culture. ) and hawks (redtail, marsh and falcons.

Peterson Irish Flake in a Clay; I think it tastes like the old Condor.
6 bags of rubbish & 7 vapes today. A great haul!
26 vapes so far this month.
Got some blister packs & wrappers for recycling. Found 2 unopened chocolates, a nearly full box of Hotel Chocolat & a packet of Swizzels Love Hearts. Been to the open mic night at the Neptune last night; got up on stage and did a Beatles Medley wearing the Redcoat. Got a free pint of Golden Fields of Green for performing & got bought a pint of Nightcall; just need another 3 stamps for a free cask pint at the Neptune. Been a good day.

Just pulled a couple of pounds of this out of the closet. Probably my regular smoke for a few days.

Relaxing over MB Plumcake. In the Autograph. My single fanciest pipe and I smoke it all of the time. Got 9 more large tins of Plumcake coming and some HH VA and that will be the end of that.

Wonderful pipe! Is there a story to the etchings on the silverwork?

It seems that no. Mario never voices this moment. Another question is why his P is inverted, I did not find any information about this either.

Those are often the best ones.

GH Bosun Cut Plug in a Falcon Meer Bulldog. Slipping in some quick smokes in the garage as we’re getting some light snow and rain with this cold front coming in.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Had half a smoke of Match Victorian in the J07 feeding the horses.
Topped off the chamber and will finish in about three hours when I go blanket the horses, it’s supposed to be right at freezing every morning til Friday.

That is a very nice blend, didn't realize they were still making it.

Back from the gym, coffee is made and I’ve loaded Stokkeby’s Cube Cut in a cob. Nice burley and coffee to perform the same duties as CPR

That's a bad ass cob!
