***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, a pound and a half of lemon seasoned wild caught catfish with Mexican rice and beans and a bowl of chocolate ice cream for dessert. With those two big cheeseburgers snack and a big lunch, I had an excellent off diet day. I've about a third of a bowl left of Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

5 year old FVF in a lattice globe meer.

Just 5 years has really improved FVF, at least to my tastes.

Another full day of work around the property left me rather spent. Showered off, and now enjoying a glass of "Grower's Reserve" organic Sauvignon Blanc from Trader Joe's (at $5/bottle, it's recessionary gold!) with a bowl of WCC Rouxgaroux (sample) in my Stefano Santambrogio bent Rhodesian. Looking forward to chicken chili w/homemade cornbread (organic cornmeal, of course...I don't react well to glyphosate) for dinner tonight.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, Common raven, Steller's jay, California towhee, California quail, Mourning dove, House finch, and Brewer's blackbirds scavenging for seeds or insects in the horse corral. Big temperature drop coming! Looking forward to the rain, and how pissed the water company gets when everyone gets free water...

Shavuatov!

Just over a third of a bowl left of KBV Prince of Wales in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem.

I only recently discovered Brebbia Latakia Flake No. 9. It's now in my regular rotation. Love it!!

Bob's Square Cut in a Bjarne Nielsen carved by Ph. Vigen. I bought the pipe from Bjarne himself at a trunk show at Rich's. He was a lovely man.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am nearing the half way mark from a freshly opened 2014 250 grams bag of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching an episode of Mike Hammer.

I know I love fresh Hamborger Veermaster. Currently figuring out if I like it as much after being open a few months.. How do you like the fresh bag of aged? (I have a 250g bag in the cellar).
