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

[ThermionicScott]

Opening Night in my Sav 313. It’s a beautiful day to be a porch warrior!

 

[Beowoulf]

Now smoking some of Lane's Black Raspberry in a pipe carved in the Ukraine by someone referred to as "The Master". I believe the wood is Pear. As one reviewer says "... this one is truly a winner. The flavor is actually enjoyable, and the room note is very pleasant. It is rare to find a tobacco that tastes good to the smoker and also is so tolerable to those who are exposed to fumes"

About a third of a bowl left of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Fed Daisy the Feral princess and Tomato the Brave. The black cat came around to eat their left overs. I heard a cat screeching, and ran outside to see what happened, but all I saw was Tomato coming back on the deck from the side of the house looking a tad fierce. I put plenty of food out for the black cat, which he/she (?) quickly ate. It still runs from me, but this time, it stopped to look at me while I talked to it, which is the first time that's happened. So, I put more dry food near the back door, and kept the door open with the screen door closed. It came back and ate, occasionally looking up at me while I spoke. It left after it finished. I'm hoping to teach it not to be afraid of me, but I realize that will be a slow, maybe useless project. But, I'll try just the same.

Jim, the Cat Whisperer. I bet every cat for miles knows who you are.

Almost half way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

I knew I shouldn't have put up that "Free Cat Food" neon sign in the front yard.

Bald spot update on the IMP Meerschaum. I’m smoking Old Joe Krantz Blue. I like the bald spot, kind of hope it stays.

Planted our tomatoes, jalapeño, zucchini and basil. Time for a tall ice water and a bowl of Best Brown Flake in a Castello Sea Rock.

Where did you purchase this tobacco? I went looking for it to find out more and couldn't find it anywhere.

It's my understanding that there were preview samples of Per Georg Jensen's new blends at the Chicago Pipe Show. They're due for release later this year and next.

Did a set of walking reps on this hot and humid day, and am almost finished smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Lunch follows this smoke. Watching the Padres-Twins game.

I’ve only ever seen those with the original, longer tapered stems. Yours looks great!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking C&D Warped Saint Espresso 2023 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style. First meer that I bought. Gold Star Nightwish, neat, is my drink.
