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

[Hillcrest]

Went outside for a few puffs of Virginia Perique ... four deer strolled through the backyard about 15 feet from me ... the fawn froze when it saw me ... the adults went about their business looking for birdseed and food ... the fawn was like "Hey, there's a human here aren't we supposed to run or something ???" Then it got bored standing still and went following the adults into the woods. The adults know who puts the birdseed out !

Felt like something different. Went with a GBD 661D with Esoterica And So to Bed. It’s working for me, not so much for the room note for the kids in the car.

Looks like I am an EGR fan now. Pipe is house pipe from The Briary in Homewood, AL. It is stamped simply, The Briary. It’s a great smoker!

What a cool pipe!

Thank you !I think so too. I bought it from a Peterson expert on EBAY a year ago. Quickly became a favorite in the rotation.

Tonight was some Carolina Red Flake while letting the dogs run around outside. Happy to see the Spring temps starting to return.

Now Smoking: Pre-Dominican Prince Albert in a 5.5" Peterson Ashford 68, smooth apple, sterling silver band, with bent Acrylic stem.

I have some Sutliff Duke Albert on order which should be here by the weekend, which will be my first time trying it. I will be very interested to see how Sutliff's match version compares to the real deal. I've also yet to try the Dominican-made version of PA as well, so hopefully one of these 2 replacements will be close. I still have a few tubs of USA PA left to figure out what I'm going to do for a daily-bread substitute. - Sherm Natman

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2013 E-soterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Cleaning a few pipes.

Smoking some random bag end blend in a Medico while I wait in an obnoxiously long car wash line.

The Tekin meer with a cap and some solani silver flake 660 and since you’ve seen the pipe here are. Couple shots of some amazing flake, these came out of the 3.5 oz rectangular tins.

I went out to smoke Old Toby in my new Hungarian and never got to light it as I heard a noise to my right ... I looked up on the hill and saw a HUGE fox jump up on a fallen tree to cross over ... it turned and looked at me for a few seconds ... its whole upper body was a reddish brown and its thicker hind quarters was shedding its greyish brown winter coat. It was the size of a small shepherd or coyote (not as tall but as thick). Beautiful animals and they walk through the woods like a ballerina ... very light quiet footfalls. The coyotes are louder and brash. The Coywolves are the biggest (wolf size) and totally silent and stroll through the area like they own it ... very proud and majestic and meticulously clean and groomed like they just stepped out of a salon ... like lions. They fear nothing. I had one in my yard once not 10 feet from me and it totally ignored me as I clearly wasn't a threat. There is a dear trail that runs through the back of the property that they all hunt regularly. There are two packs ... one of coyotes and one of foxes down by the river...you can hear them periodically at night going for water ... at least 8-12 in each pack. What a sight !! ... now back to that Old Toby and colombian coffee ...
