***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats. Abner the Eager is by my side.

That's a nice looking no-name! Very nice lines and the rustication looks good. Top "band" sets it off well.

Cracked open an 8 oz tin of Charing Cross and enjoying it in the Castello. Dreaming of fall and cool crisp morning with a cup of hot coffee. Until then, it's iced coffee and planting myself in front of the AC.

Here is the view of the 100 yard range. Down the driveway, over the garden, between the house and garage....no problem.
Gotta zoom in to see the targets....and don't hit the doggies.

Nice. With a max ord of 20+ ft that most suitable calibers have, I think the pups are safe

Did a set of walking reps in he high heat and wicked humidity, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Harry the Hairy walked a couple houses worth on my first lap, and then stood driveway guard in the shade. He's inside now. Abner the Eager has been snoozin' on my chair. The others are outside.

Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Doug Finlay Eskimo-Desian and Diet Coke on the side.

XXV Dawn in a Radice rind billiard.

After a few weeks of excessive heat and humidity, Mother Nature has given SE Michigan a break for a couple of days. About 78 degrees and fairly dry today; windows are open and the A/C is taking a break.

I almost never use this range for rifles. Its strictly for handguns.
Once a year I test my deer rifle a few times here. Otherwise its to the 1000+ yard range in the field.
With my 7mm PRC I can shoot 2 moa at 100 yards.....the deer dont stand a chance.

Sorry, I misread the post-thought it looked a little short
But I’d definitely use that for zeroing, I can’t have an un-zeroed rifle without it driving me nuts, even if it gets rarely used.

Yep, that picture is EXACTLY 100 yards. Measured by my pacing it off.

A quick half bowl of 5Bros in the London Made DeLuxe, still chasing the faint ghosts of Condor, Erinmore or such from the heel…

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Yemen Mocha High Grown, neat, is my drink. Watching the Cubs-Red Sox game. Abner the Eager is still by my side.

Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Venini.

Just finished smoking year 2013 Capstan Gold Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-mid 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Special Made in England squat dublin with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[abecox]

Last night I had a pipeful of Haunted Bookshop in a Comoy Everyman. Delightful smoke, and I get to do it in my favorite place to have a smoke, the porch on the island. Packed some Cumberland in a Peterson Bent Bulldog, might smoke it now now or later after the next set I'm playing. Probably later.
