***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

[Hillcrest]

I had a work problem to ponder over so I grabbed my MM Mark Twain and absentmindedly loaded it with cherry cavendish/captain black original 50/50 mix. Smoked it quick and steadily. The parts I rememebr were tasty. Funny how it lit perfectly and burned consistently --- when lit without thinking about it !!! Just like in the movies !

Capstan Gold RR (sample) in the Stefano Bent Rhodesian, paired with Eel River Blonde Ale (organic!). Great way to end a busy day, albeit much more humid than I'm used to. Bird report: Common raven, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, Western kingbird, Brewer's blackbird, House sparrow, House finch, Northern flicker, Red-tailed hawk, and California quail.

This was my view today:



Happy smokes everyone!

Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I have so many things to do this weekend that I decided to take an internet break for a couple of days. See you folks later.

First smoke all week and it’s some HU Dockworker.

Working on my last tin of Buttra Dark Stoved. I am going to have to pony up for a couple few more as I love this tobacco.

Great blend!

 

[AuroraSurrealis]

Nice pipe!
Are there any other finnish pipe makers?

Got to admit that I’m not sure, at least there used to be a pretty talented pipemaker in eastern (?) Finland whose pipes were sold in finnish B&M’s. I don’t know what’s the current situation with his pipe-making.

First bowl of the day St Bruno Flake in a cob.

MidSummer eve smoke of German domestic OTC Blend Brookfield Gelb* mixed up with some Amphora Kentuckies in an Ashton XX Pebble Grain short billiard

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Smoking my last of the night.. I'm fighting a bit of insomnia. Last one is Prince Albert in a MM Hardwood. Sipping a Diet Coke as I consider whether caffeine is a blessing or a curse.

We celebrated our grandson's 19th. birthday with an early evening dinner under the gazebo, in simply glorious weather.
After dinner and homemade birthday cake, I enjoyed a bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in my MM Ozark Mountain Hardwood cherry-stained pipe, and a dram of Gentleman Jack with bergs.
