***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, filet mignon and corn on the cob dinner with strawberries and biiiiiigg slice of freshly made chocolate cake for dessert! I've about a quarter of a bowl left of Cascadia Downwind in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a brown pearl acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Fed two of the outdoor feral cats. Daisy is sweet and has adopted us because her owners don't feed her and her brother much, or pay them much attention. The other cat out there is very shy, and won't come near me, but this evening, he didn't run far away, and while I was putting out dry and wet food for him, he snuck a peek at me from the side of the deck about three feet away. I knew not to try anything because he'd just run, but that was the first bit of progress I have had with him since he started coming around early this year. His brother is friendly only around the food bowl. Otherwise, he won't come near me or m'lady. Been watching the Braves-Brewers game, and also working on tobacco reviews.

I’m smoking Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in a MM Country Gentleman and drinking Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof. Trying to numb the pain of the Cubs purge today.

 

[Charlie718]

I decided to smoke some Bayou Morning in my AKB Meer.

 

[UncleRasta]

Thoughts so far?

I still need it to dry out to my preferred state, but I suspect I will smoke a lot of this blend.

 

[B_Rock]

Smoking some EGR in a Peterson Aran 80s. Listening to Giants and Astros on the radio.

 

[Severus]

Yet to find either bourbon or vanilla here (G L Pease Vanilla Cream), but I am getting a hold of the flavour in this blend. Especially, when smoking it in my Molina billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this freshly opened tin of year 2000 Wessex Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut in a smooth straight Lane era 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 saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Time to Zoom for a short while with friends.

After light lunch of soup.

Nice, warm sunny winter's day with pleasant breeze on verandah with a pair of Moretti Rhodesians. Stonehaven in the briar and Penzance in the morta.

Amaro Nonino Quintessentia and cup of black chai

 

[Jim Sobie]

A cob full of Granger and a cup of coffee. None finer.

I've discovered the codger scoop doesn't apply to Granger as much. Too loose and it burns like a chimney fire, and my theory is it's because cobs flow like a Weiand race manifold.

Scoop and then OOCH that charge in, a good firm pack and ahhhhh, there's that Burley Bliss...riding the Dog...

I can’t wait to light this bowl of 2015 Esoterica Stonehaven covered in plume in my Altinay translucent meer.

PS Bullseye Flakes in a Bings Favorite by Savinelli.

PS Luxury Bullseye flake in a Nording F Moss

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an old favorite smooth dark brown 1977 Medley (GBD second) medium bend billiard with a flat underside with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[jewman22]

No.2 for today, a bowl of GLP Union Square in my Aldo Morelli half bent pot.

 

[mso489]

D&R Two Timer in a MM spool cob with a Forever stem, a nice medium blend of toasted burleys with a slight pleasing edge, that this pipe smokes down to powder.

 

[Backwoods Briar]

Watch city Stubbs. Wonderful smoke, in a John Bessai, super good.

 

[username]

Kbv Sakura in a cob.

 

[UncleRasta]

This evening I've had two bowls of Peterson's Irish Flake. My goodnight smoke will be Balkan Sasieni.

 

[JimInks]

A couple minutes away from smoking Wilke No. 78 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello- Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to Burns and Allen.

 

[musicman]

I haven't posted in here in forever, mostly because a variety of factors (weather and life-related) have prevented me from smoking more than 1-2 bowls a week these days, and for whatever reason, it's been a while since I had a bowl that really sang to me.

But right now, I'm enjoying some Old Gowrie in a Wiley bent dublin, and it is deeeeelish!
