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

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Old School Prototype in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent. Hot and humid outside. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

About to finish up my first taste of Rattray's Old Gowrie in a bent Twain cob. Great stuff. Mild Brown Woods and Earth with evolving Tang. Smooth, smoke and burning, with little moisture. The tartness is much more subdued than in Marlin Flake for me. Very nice, and I enjoy both.

Undead Scotsman in my Old Church billiard.

 

[MattRVA]

Smoking the last of some jarring remnants, Virginia flakes... in a KK Castello sea rock billiard.

 

[donjgiles]

Old Dominion in a straight, black sandblasted apple.

Kendall Cream Deluxe Flake in a MM Legend, out on the porch. It’s a lovely day, truly. Trying to get myself psyched up to cut the grass instead of sitting on the porch, smoking, like a loaf. Just watched one of my neighbors, 81 years old, chainsaw a tree apart in his yard...so...

Neighbors across the street have begun their springtime festivities by covering all of the logs, bricks, and random piles of sticks in their front yard with white plastic. They’ve also been painting inside of their closet. How do I know that? Because this morning, 7AM, the male yelled “HEY, bring me my COFFEE!” Followed by a “WHAT!?” From the female. “My COFFEE! I’m PAINTING, in the CLOSET!” None of their windows were open, by the way.

Now smoking year 2016 Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Rattray’s Stirling Flake in a Peterson Grafton #264. It’s my first bowl of SF ever, definitely a strong blend but really tasty one so far. Pairs well with Earl Grey tea.

GH&Co Dark Plug in a Penn Valley Gouda Clay.

PS English Luxury, close to the last in the jar, in a MM cob with a slightly bent Forever Stem, a little offbeat for the blend, but a good smoke.

 

[pipeboy122]

Dunhill Standard Mixture in a Dunhill Shell Briar 4208

 

[bnichols23]

Two real gems -- Stonehaven in a believe-it-or-not previously unsmoked 1988 Lakatosh, a paneled billiard. Amazing.

Red Rapparee in Peterson POTY 2019 999.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty late lunch, and am now smoking Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305 with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Going to do some more walking now.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Smoking 3 parts D&R Picayune 1 part Prince Albert, in a MM cobb. Enjoying a sunny day, with coffee.

Felt like something mellow so it's BCA in the good old monster.
