***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

[Choatecav]

For years I have made it a point to put out plenty of feed for the birds during the winter. We always have a big turnout of all types of birds.

Until a month or so ago, I have never had feeders for hummingbirds, although I love seeing them. So,...... I now have two feeders for them on the deck. At first, I did not see many around, but now they absolutely swarm it and are a delight to watch. Natures hover crafts!!!

So, today I am enjoying some Faulkner Flake Virginia from the Country Squire in my Comoys Guild Hall #133 with the little hummers in the background. You can't see them in the photo, but believe me, they are there!

My Red Fox in a 1998 Ashton Dublin.

My first smoke in this new-to-me pipe. The chamber is a bit narrow, so I expect it will be used for stronger VAs, esp flakes.

Beautiful Eagle Claw meer, Rob

Thank you! I love this one.

 

[PrivatePiping]

Love the pipe, and that retro lighter, too! Don't often use the word charming pair, but I think it works here!

Thanks gord! It was speaking to me in the moment.

 

[PrivatePiping]

Agreed!

Thanks man!

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've a third of a bowl left of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Less than usual due to the humidity. Sleepy Suzy is enjoying her catnip toy. Molly Danger is in the bedroom. Abner the Eager is snoozin' on m'lady's lap. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' in the corner. It's beginning to storm again, so m'lady just got Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave inside.

Tashkent in the Falcon snifter



And some Killian’s Red to go with it. Usually I don’t mix pipes and alcohol, but the Killian’s is pretty nice this evening. Our pastor has been on vacation, so I’ve been filling in at our 2 congregations (about 50 miles apart) for the past two Sundays. It makes a long day.

Lane Ltd Macanudo in an unbranded Turkish Meer.
The Meer was purchased by a friend in Ankara. I replaced the stem from the original black plastic.

What was a frozen margarita is now on the rocks.

That's an absolutely gorgeous Falcon!

That's an absolutely gorgeous Falcon!

The snifter is one of my favorite bowls, both for appearance as well as capacity: I can get 90 minutes or more with a flake. I like it so much that I bought another one as a backup!

And speaking of gorgeous, there’s that meer of yours!
