***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

[Servant King]

First smoke of May was C&D Opening Night in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s blasted doggie. Another gem, 9.3/10. Ran out of time for a bowl yesterday, but on the plus side, the greenhouse is now fully covered in fresh plastic, a monumental task that is finally behind us. This is our first time growing food in a serious capacity, so I will not be endeavoring to give homegrown a try just yet. Maybe next year!

Bird report: House finch, Mountain chickadee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Dark-eyed junco, Mourning dove, Red-tailed hawk, Common raven, California quail, California towhee, White-crowned sparrow, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, and Golden-crowned sparrow.

Last bowl of McClelland Dark Star. C’est la vie. Open to suggestions.

Time machine?

Some PS LBF from 2016 in an old Falcon. Sometimes it’s fun to pull this out. It’s the kinda pipe Buck Rogers would have smoked!

 

[Bright Orange Red]

Well aged Solani Silver Flake 660 in a Savinelli Venere 412ks. This is it for the night. I appreciate the well wishes from you folks.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to work to finish this Sabrina story with a bowl of Wilke High Hat in an undated black sandblasted straight made in France Silvermatch Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to listen to The Lone Ranger from my radio collection.

 

[BrightDarkEyes]

Orlik Golden Sliced in my no name tall billiard meerschaum with semi transparent brown acrylic fishtail stem and 9mm filter.

Man, this OGS is really good. The pipe I used for it this morning wasn’t fully broken in yet and yielded a less than satisfactory smoke. This pipe is full of flavour as it should be.

I’m not sure if it’s always this good or if it’s because this tin is from 2019.

Eight State Burley in the Ropp’s Stout Vintage apple. It’s an OK tobacco, I just don’t like the rum taste that much.

Just curious, how long has the tin/jar been open?

 

[Steddy]

Gawith Dark Flake Aromatic in a cob. I was reading an Ennerdale thread a few days ago and the power of suggestion awakened a hunger for Gawith tobacco. I have a lot jarred up I haven’t tried yet and there is no time like the present.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Still have a little work to do if the two orange scampers get off my feet.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

CVP in a Cermak.

 

[JimInks]

Did some low calorie snacking, and put Sam and the scampers in the back bathroom so Molly Danger would feel secure about eating in peace. Got the pages done, and will touch them up tomorrow since I have a lot to do tonight. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Esoterica And So To Bed in a straight post-1981 GBD Prehistoric 133 billiard with brass accents, the letter K stamped on the shank with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
