***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

The Wager is on my list, but I keep bumping it. I'd be curious to know what you think once you've put a dent in it. Reading The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson right now.

I’ll do my best to remember to report!

Enjoying a Peterson, a pint, and some good music at the Cleveland Irish Festival.

2016 Haddo’s Delight in my Kriswill handmade Bernadotte pickaxe or Copenhagen, whichever you prefer. This pipe needed some customization that was beyond my skills. Sent it off to Steve at Reborn Pipes who repaired the broken tenon and added a cool copper stummel.

The next is a sandblasted Tom Eltang Polonius


Bowl of W.O.Larsen Signature

Now late Fri evening --- rang the bell (Oh Yeah) with a simple Home Blend:
VA #1 (60%) mixed with Rattray's Black VA (40%). Got couple bowls left, then will try same thing but will use McClelland 5105. Then will do same but with a pinch or so of Perique.
Beverage alongside, on a muggy night, is some Gin with a splash of Fresca.
Used my Rossi Vittorio Lumberman, which is breaking in & seasoning wonderfully!

Just shy of 2 scientifically manufactured coins fills up my Savinelli 316KS

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, cleaned a few pipes, fed all the ferals except for Daisy the Feral Princess, who wasn't hungry, and am near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Watching an old, slow moving b-western with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Molly Danger is snoozin' on m'lady's lap.

The Pipe has nice lines

Thanks! I have 6 Canadians to honor my Grandfather. One is a Rossi Vittorio. I added this Rossi Vittorio because of the excellent smoking quality of the other, plus a Lumberman is kind of a Canadian anyway, so 7. I especially like the squared off shank.
QUES: How's the (authentic) kimchi? I took Korean cooking & cuisine "under my wing" back in '21. The pandemic gave me plenty of time for research & experimentation. My results have been acceptable.

Last smoke of the day is Seattle Pipe Club Down Yonder in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

The kitchen in general is good here.
It depends on who makes it,and whether you like fresh,or sour kimchi (slightly fermented)
