***What Are You Smoking, May 2020?***

[JimInks]

The very nutty, toasty, roasted, earthy, woody burley is the star. The rich chocolate topping sublimates the tobaccos to a fair degree, would you say this is accurate. sounds like my type of blend.

Well, I did write that, so I would say it is accurate.

Last bowl of the day chaps. I see that Mr. Weezell has shown up for the night shift so there is no danger of this arena becoming P.C and an extension of the Republic of Granola! I am enjoying a delightful evening smoke of G&H Coniston Cut Plug in an early 1900s ADP meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with 18 ct gold band and genuine amber stem. to paraphrase the words of our host Jim Inks, my drink of the evening is a glass of cheap scotch with little floating icebergs. My thought for the evening is has anyone noticed that Vice President Pence looks like Greta Thunberg and Donald Pleasances love child! I shall finish both my beverage and bowl and then retire for the evening. Good night gentlemen!

Smoked another packet of Condor Ready Rubbed in my clay pipe while out in the country today. I like wearing my redcoat uniform and my cavalier hat while smoking my clay pipe. Thanks for the offer of some packets of Captain Black from the USA; it'll make a nice birthday present - something to celebrate with!!!

I have several boxes of John Pollock clays in storage in the U.K. I used to get 100 pipes a month in a box packed with saw dust from Pollocks factory on Stott Street, Manchester. If you sent Gordon Pollock Ten Pounds a month he would send you a very regular supply. I rode up to Manchester to the factory once and I met Mr. Pollock circa mid 1980s. You might be interested to know he only died a few years ago. He was very old and there used to be a great video about him on Youtube.

I've tried a bit of this when I went for a pint in Wetherspoon in Chesterfield, where I met a fellow pipe smoker on the terrace who let me have a pipeful - it went down a treat in my clay!

Trying a new tobacco tonight, Molto Dolce in my A Curtz Billiard.

Not sure what to pair this with tea wise, I think i'm going with a nice broad leaf Ceylon from Vithrandke estate.

Hopefully this will be an exceptional smoke.

Had a short snooze, a tasty lunch, and am part way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Pork Chops & Apple Sauce 2020 in a smooth medium brown 1998 Parker 489 three quarter bend billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

Smoking the last bowl of Germain BK flake. It was so good early this morning that I had to repeat it. Smoking it in a beautiful Ben Wade 'Club Special' I got from Doug Valitchka.
