***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

Lee Von Erck
Lee Von Erck twist freehand that I've quicly coaxed to an almost imperceptible gurgle for maxim flavor from old Ashton Black Parrot, and I just found the cookie while typing. This is my best smoking pipe. Guiness Extra Stout accompanying. Darn, crossed the line and lost the cookie as the gurgle emerged. I lost concentration.

2020 Savinelli Janus in a Radice

 

[mpjetset]

My main meer was in desperate need of a long-overdue cleaning. Nasty build up of pipe cleaner fluff and tar behind the tenon and the mortise piece was cemented in place. Spent an hour and a half on that, most of which was carefully trying to get the mortise part out. She's drying right now before I put a new mortise/tenon in.

Wow, how long/many smokes do you think it took to build that up?

Creme Brulee in the Vauen Olaf bent egg with 9mm filter at the end of the day in a lawnchair in the shade as the heat dissipated, watching UPS deliver something to my neighbor across the street. UPS is 20 minutes northeast of me and they delivered my tobacco to the USPS 25 minutes northwest of me for delivery tomorrow. Yes, they may have driven past my house on the way there ! c'est le guerre !

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. Enjoyed some quiet reading time.

Worked a bit in the garden. Going so so with that. Last rain we got was .5 inches on the sixth. We are forecasted to get some rain Thursday which makes it 3 weeks with no rain. I've been watering the garden but that just basically keeps it alive. I'll chalk this one up as a bad year and start planning for next year. Smoking WCC ACP.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2004 GLP Stratford in a smooth dark brown medium bend post-1949 Peterson Kildare 80S bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. First time smoking this pipe. Watching the Pirates-Reds game until the Braves-Cards game starts.

6 months or a year? I don't remember when I last cleaned it, which was also the only time I've cleaned it so far. I only smoke it once a day.

Though I can say, in the 1.6 years I have had it, I have never taken the tenon piece out or replaced it until now.

HU Soraya in the CAO meer while driving. Finding no problem loading bowls on the go either, so long as it's ribbon. lol A stop light is usually enough time, lonely country roads are a breeze.

Continuing to break in the new Pascucci - this time with some Opening Night.

How do you store the Stratford? My tins are that old and I'm getting worried. Haddo's, Stonehenge, Inverness, and a little Fez, too. They've been mostly in food saver bags.
