***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

[FurCoat]

Almost half way through this bowl of 7-20-4 Little Gold Dust (Briary Blends) in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Sold only at Twins Smoke Shop in New Hampshire. Working on a review of this blend.

My CAO isn't quite as nice but I love the quality. This one is still unsmoked.

An Appeal To Heaven
From John Locke’s Second Treatise on Governent:
“And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment.”

George Washington first commissioned it as the flag of the first American navy in 1775.

Current events make me wonder if today’s society will know the cause of sufficient moment before it’s too late.

Thanks for educating a non-American! I’ve only read Locke’s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Sounds like I topic worth learning more about.

That's good to know. I was worried that I was burning the rim with the flame. if it is just natural coiouration, I can handle it

I guess the 6 smokes/25quid offer’s off the table
That pipe’s carving will be beautifully colored by 100 smokes for sure!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steel head trout and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I just finished smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Been watching the Braves-Brewers game.

Ah, the joys of British Empiricism. Personally, I was always partial to David Hume over John Locke.

First time trying Chacom No.3 while catching up on local news...
Picked this aro up in Paris on request from my father to find a 'french aromatic' to bring back. Turns out, of course, to be a blend designed in America (by Jeremy Reeves), and made in Germany (Kohlhase & Kopp). C'est la vie. Opening the tin has very nice sweet boozy rich aroma. Good moisture level. don't know what/how to describe taste just yet. Pairs nicely with coffee.

Was just reading about that big bluefin. I wonder why it was there, why it died. I'm going to try and follow this very interesting story.
