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

[Skippy B. Coyote]

I realized that it's been quite awhile since I smoked a Burley blend, so this morning I'm having some C&D Pegasus in a Dr. Grabow Lark.

Back at it again with the same pipe for my afternoon smoke, this time loaded up with Haunted Bookshop.

It's a nice smoke and was a favorite blend of mine for a good year or so, but these days I think I actually prefer Pegasus. They're really similar blends, but swapping out the Perique in Haunted Bookshop for the unsweetened Black Cavendish in Pegasus really smooths the blend out and I think that little bit of very mild sweetness adds something nice to the mix. It makes it not so harsh and abrasive on the throat, and a slightly mellower more gentle smoke.

[JimInks]

Had a very busy day. Ran a few errands, and had an eye doctor appointment. I was pleased to learn that I still have 20/20 vision. Here's my earlier smokes:

Enjoyed my usual walking rep smokes: 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...


....and year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.


In between, I smoked a bowl of year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.


Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. The world's latest lunch follows this smoke.

Cool piece of lumber on that BBB! Does the other side match?
