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

[JimInks]

Did some snacking, and am passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I may end the day with this smoke.

@UncleRasta - I‘m ashamed to admit that I was pulling for Man U. today. Does that make me a bad person?

Cheers!

YES

During our Saturday afternoon ZOOM meeting, one of the topics was the sad and unexpected passing of Rich Lewis. We reminisced about our interactions with Rich, his kindness, friendliness, and his craftsmanship as a pipe maker.
I smoked my Rich Lewis rusticated calabash, filled with Samovar.
It is one of his pipes that I had dropped and seriously chipped the lip of the rim. I contacted Rich. He told me to send it back to him and he repaired it so well that it was virtually new again.
Lovely man.
May his memory be eternal.

Decided to have one more smoke this morning, so it's Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Going to feed the ferals and finish reading baseball box scores.

Going to have Esoterica Tobacciana Margate in a rusticated Savinelli Dry System 2320 Author while I work on some forum mischief.

Peterson's Elizabethan Mixture in a favorite old Comoy Selected Straight Grain.

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in 4ab.
This is my first Peterson, first system pipe, and first traditional bent pipe.
I think I should get more Peterson, perhaps a smaller System Spigot with a shorter stem.

 

[The Clay King]

Ennerdale Flake in a Pollock clay. Nearly finished another pouch of pipeweed...

@orvet Smoked a clay bowl of Elizabethan Mixture at Nottingham pipe show last September in memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Last time we had a King Charles people wore wide brimmed hats and smoked clay pipes

It’s very refreshing to see you’re both faces once in a while in front, behind or beyond of any those historical monuments that are to be found and well visited in one of the cultural centres of the Mediterranean See. There is a kind of steadiness in the occurrence of you guys that reminds me of the goodness of a daily newspaper in the morning or the hot steaming stew at dinner time. Keep the good thing rolling for a few more days, please.
