***What Are You Smoking, June 2020?***

Now smoking Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a black sandblasted straight 1998 XXX Ashton lovat with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this hot and humid day.

Wow how old is that tin?

If I recall correctly, based on jguss excellent guide, it is either '78 or '79. I think half of it disappeared as samples when I opened it at pipe club.

Thank you, sir! Boswell makes some pretty cool stuff.

They really do -- a have a "miniball" church warden from the early 2000's from them -- modeled after the US Civil War miniball round. It's one of my best smokers to this day. They also excel at restoration/repair.

KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Boswell shot shell freehand with straight grain and plateau rim. And home toasted tanzanian coffee of course. A fine way to start father’s day.

Nice I have an older Shot Shell from them. Great smoker, and a fine approach to Army Bit.

I have an at most one cigar a day, if that, policy. Now I'm smoking a second cigar, an Arturo Fuente Chateau Robusto.

It is Father's Day...

Lane HGL-English in my deck pipe- a Crown Garden Rusticated Black.

I'm digging this HGL. Clouds of delicious smoke everywhere. I'm a human smudge pot, no mosquitoes out here.

Just finished a long conference call during which I smoked the following:
Year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” 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.

Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style.

And I'm close to finishing this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire in a smooth almost full bend 1981 Briar Workshop round brandy signed by Elliott Nachwalter with a pearl gold acrylic stem.
