*** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2017)

[cosmicbobo]

Captain Black Cherry in my Salim Meerschaum. The morrow will be The Shire in either a Shire Calabash or a darned long Churchwarden.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City Slices in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 4 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic stem. Phone chatting about pipe tobacco.

Last smoke of the day is Sir Walter Raleigh in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[cosmicbobo]

SWR sounds good about now, Jim

Elizabethan in a Randy Wiley Patina Freehand followed with a bowl of SWRA in a MM CG. Ice water on the side.

 

[newbroom]

Daughters and Ryan Athey in my Sunday Savinelli Freehand Autograph, a smooth, straight grained, "O" grade, bent, that was gifted to me by a forum buddy.

 

[JimInks]

Starting off my smoking day with Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and a black ebonite military bit. Part way through the bowl already. A bottle of Cheerwine is my drink.

Morning coffee with H&H's Victorian Stroll in a bent brandy.

 

[JimInks]

My after lunch smoke is Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Listening to an interview with Phil Leslie, who wrote a lot of old radio shows, including The Great Gildersleeve and Fibber McGee and Molly (we named our cat Molly after Mrs. McGee).

About half way through this bowl of Watch City Flake #558 in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem.

Now smoking McClelland Christmas Cheer 1995 in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of 7-UP is my drink. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

Listing this a few minutes early: Old Dark Fired in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem.

Lancer's Slices in a Rattray's Sir William #45. This is the first bowl of Lancer's Slices I've had. It's very good.

John Cotton's #1 in a Big Ben Dublin churchwarden.

War Horse Bar, which means I am done even pretending to be productive today.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through the last of my stash of Cope’s Escudo in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink the rest of this day.
