***What Are You Smoking, January 2026?***

[JimInks]

Near the first quarter of this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth dark brown octagonal paneled mid-60s-early 70s Corporate Era Barling 4945 London England T.V.F. billiard with a square shank and black tapered square stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo.

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.


Tomato the Brave wanted wet food early, so I let him in to do so. He stayed in a few minutes and went out. Harry the Hairy has been inside most of the day, but finally he woke up from a long snooze to eat in the kitchen. I went in there to give Harry some attention. I rubbed his back a little, and he laid down and put his belly in the air for some rubbing. Then, he saw Molly Danger gave him her trademark death stare near the kitchen entrance and got nervous. Harry laid his head and paw on my right foot for security. I gave Molly some treats in the den, but she was too focused on Harry to eat. Harry laid down near the water bowl not knowing what to do. I picked him up, and moved him away so Molly could go to the kitchen. Harry wasn't thrilled by this either and ran to the door, so I let him out.

Tomato was at the door so I let him back in. He wanted to go to the kitchen, but Molly's still there, so he laid by my feet right waiting for her to leave so that he can go in. When Molly came out, she gave Tomato a loud hiss and moved on. Tomato still hasn't budged from his spot. Sleepy Suzy has snoozed through all of this by my side. Daisy the Feral Princess joined m'lady in the bed room a few hours ago where there's no drama.

Last smoke of the day is year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95.

Los Angeles Sunshine Cola Zero?! I am most intrigued, as I love a good Zero Cola. Acquiring some LA Sunshine Cola Zero is now on my bucket list, thanks to you @Benedict Munsinger . I guess I need to get over to Japan. (Btw, my brother lives in Los Angeles.)

Awake, and have passed the first third of this bowl of Wilke Pickett’s Charge in a post-WW2 straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Dublin 3 bulldog with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. The cats are happy to see me up.

Yes, Japan has extremely strict food quality control, and you can really taste it. Even something as simple as cola is made with a lot of care and very clean flavors. Personally, I buy only Japanese soy sauces these days — the difference is obvious. So if you ever make it to Japan, don’t hesitate to try everything. Food there is treated almost like a craft.

Nutrition (per 100 ml): zero calories, zero sugar, zero carbs, virtually no salt.

I actually answered this before — I originally found the link on Reddit, someone there shared a shop selling these magnets. That’s where I ordered mine. Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate that specific post again just now — Reddit isn’t exactly the easiest place to search. If I stumble upon the link again, I’ll be happy to post it here.

First bowl of 2026 was Chelsea Morning in my 2020 Peterson 69 St. Patrick's Day pipe while driving to work in the dark and blasting The Masterplan by Oasis. No pics, but it got the day off on the right foot.
