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

[JimInks]

Had a great zoom meeting, broke down some boxes for recycle, did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and have a quarter of a bowl left of Sutliff Paradoxical (Signature Series) in an undated, unbranded straight lattice meerschaum military mount with a silver cap and tapered yellow acrylic stem. I probably need another bowl or two before I am comfortable with the review I am working on. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

GH&Co. Irish X rope cut Virginia in a Genod smooth bent egg with an unexpectedly ample chamber in a compact light weight pipe that doesn't burn hot. Genod is a good French brand, and by the way, Iwan Ries house pipes are currently sourced from Genod and go for about $64, less than the stamped brand pipes. There's a good egg shape pipe available. Didn't get enough done today, but will now fold some laundry as penance.

Terrible pollen day here; everyone congested. I salt cleaned my filter pipes yesterday. This afternoon Lane 1-Q in the cleaned Vauen Olaf bent egg with 6mm filter. Very tasty mild smoke and ash left a new white coating inside the bowl. The baby fox sauntered across the hillside and down behind the garage to check and see if anyone left him the remains of a rotisserie chicken. Maybe tomorrow ... he's shedding the last of his winter coat and growing rapidly ...probably all of the chicken !

@mso489 , it’s funny you mentioned Genod pipes. I don’t own any but I saw a shape I really liked this morning. Considering purchasing it, the price was very reasonable.
