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

Lane 1-Q in the Barontini 1/2 Spigot with 9mm charcoal filter. I was sitting in the backyard in a lawn chair leaning way back and looking up at the sky as 4 small brown bats were criss crossing the sky at tree top level. One went to my right and I was expecting it to swoop around and come back and suddenly I jumped thinking "Oh @#$% ! A Vampire Bat !! --- A Heron flew low and slow over the yard and house on its way up to the pond ! I was NOT expecting that !! (They're huge compared to a brown bat !). So much for relaxing nature!

Beautiful pipe. Jody really knows how to blast a pipe. I'm curious what year was this Friar carved?

No idea, it’s been on SPC for a while, I’d guess 2020+. He learned a lot from JT Cooke early on, could explain his master blasts.

Sun Bear Tupelo Honey seemed made for the @doug535 Poker - I was right!

Just opened up a few ounces of nice, fresh Big & Burley, and am having a dance with Lady N. Tasty!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing the first third of this bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Been watching the ball game. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Pre-dinner Peretti 1072 in a Ropp Superior Algerian bulldog, and some red wine while groovin' with KEXP "Where the Music Matters."

@Ben.R.C the wine is showing a few tannins still...similar to the (gentler) astringency of the HH Latakia. I wonder if that fades over time like with wine? Anyone know?

Trying this new C&D Sun bear Tupelo in my Paul’s pipe. Also trying the Wolcott bourbon. Both seem to be pretty tasty.

Ha. It’s a good box. Yours is older and patina and age make it rarer.
Id love to find a couple more.
