*** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

[JimInks]

Just finishing this bowl of 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. Going to have a late lunch. Finally got a few hours of sleep, about three. A can of Hansen's Mandarin Lime soda made with pure cane sugar is my drink on this hot and humid day. Watching the Pirates-Dodgers game.

Earlier, it was Compton’s Reserve #21 in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls. Now, I'm half way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Tobacco is a bit dry, but it works well that way. Ice tea and berg is my drink on this very busy day.

Now smoking HU Old Fredder’s Broken Flake in a smooth straight early 1960s Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

My new pipe book arrived today. Reading and enjoying Savenelli Dablone d’Oro in a Lasse Skovgaard saxaphone full bent smooth pipe. Champagne as a drink (hey why not).

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking MacBaren Modern Virginia Flake in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. This should get me to dinner time.

Finishing the night with a bowl of Davidoff flake medallions in a Peter Michalski, Germany, partially rusticated Apple.

[huntertrw]

Enjoying the late Shelby Foote's favorite - 2/3s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend plus 1/3 rough-cut (in my case this is Granger) in a rusticated The Everyman (Comoys second) model 334. The more I smoke this mixture, the better I like it!

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful baked ziti dinner, and dessert was vanilla bean ice cream, and a slice of cheese cake wit fresh strawberries. Now smoking the last of my stash of Rich Dark Flake in a small 1982 three quarter bend meer with a smiling turbaned Turk's head with a yellow stem.
