***What Are You Smoking, July 2022?***

Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match
I bought this Sherlock Holmes Strand a year ago but am finally getting around to smoking it. It clenches nicely as well as fills the hand nicely.

Now smoking 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I enjoyed my Tim West smooth Rhodesian sitter, filled with 2014 Crown Achievement, as I ZOOM-ed with my Saturday coterie of pipe smokers. A tall tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea, a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's and quite a few bergs helped to quench my thirst.

I gave Granger another try. I'm using an apple billiard from the series The Danish Pipe Shop recently put out made of W. O Larsen master shape blocks that have been finished.

University Flake in the Savinelli Miele.
This time one and a half flakes cube cut and left to dry for 12hrs.
I'd say this blend works best when cube cut and dried overnight, burning and flavour-wise.

Just finished smoking Low Country Pipe & Cigar Natural Virginia & Burley in a 2020 straight black sandblasted Merchant Service “Bing” Standard with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem.

Now smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth brown 1920s-30s Sasieni patent 8 dot Marborough lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. This will end my smoking day.

@coming to_falling too I've seen a couple of re-enactors with meerschaum pipes; they both let me have a pipeful of baccy to smoke in my clay
An English Civil War Royalist would NOT smoke Sobranie in his clay pipe as it means "Parliament" in the Slavic languages...

I don't know if it would be period correct for re-enactment purposes but they are wonderful smoking pipes and you should try one for your own enjoyment.

Like the Pirates, the Reds are a small market team so it's hard for them to compete on a regular basis. Unfortunately, both of them have cheap, lousy owners. The Reds should have built on last year's play, but the owner is stingy and don't forget he once mentioned earlier this year that he'd consider moving the team. It's a shame both clubs don't do better for their fans.

You’re being incredibly generous in your description of Reds ownership
