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

[JimInks]

Have about a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Finished work for the day. I started this smoke while working, which is unusual because I generally prefer to smoke straight pipes when I work. But, as Basil Rathbone's birthday is this week, the old time radio channel on the XM is occasionally broadcasting shows he was in. Right now, I'm listening to Rathbone and Bruce as Holmes and Watson from a 1946 episode. Thought the pipe was appropriate to smoke as a result.

Good Morning all. It is Espresso time whilst I gather my thoughts and select my pipe. Right now I think I will finish off last nights bowl whilst I decide what I am smoking today!

Good afternoon. Before lunch, we are smoking with. Capstan Gold, in a Stanwell Calabash pipe. And a glass of red wine, Ribera del Duero.

Just finished off last nights unfinished bowl. I must say finally after months of effort this ancient meerschaum has finally started to color. It seems that damp, finely sliced twist seems to hold the key to coloring this stubborn 19th century survivor. I will check in with you all later at coffee time. Have a good morning.

Some EMP in the Savinelli Trevi, start the day with an English blend, then go sweeter Virginias as the day goes on and end up with an English blend is my usual cadence it seems.

It was hot yesterday, even here in MN. My wife got her way and I got the sprinkler system up and going for the first time this year. She hasn't yet accepted the fact that less mowing is a good thing and that a dormant lawn isn't always a bad thing. She does have flower beds so once again I chose to compromise. I'll fire it up but some zones won't see any action.

This morning I continue a recent trend with C&D Burley Flake #1 in a cob.

Smoked all my Condor now; going to use the empty packet for clay pipe storage!

After another hard, hot night at work, it’s time to relax with some GH Scotch Flake in a Caminetto Business Bent Billiard with some sweet tea on the side

Continuing my tour of England some Presbyterian in the Bewlay “STANDARD” pre 60s - need to try and figure out who the maker was.

Plum Pudding Reserve in a Hardcastle Camden 69 Bulldog with a saddle stem. A true working man’s pipe that is just as home at a Tony restaurant as it is in a pub.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
