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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with some oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert. My after dinner smoke was a bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.


And I just finished smoking 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. Been busy chatting with a good friend. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Going to have Sutliff Chocolate Mousse in an AKB Meerschaum Smooth Tomato bowl on a British Shillelagh Twisted Silver Tube Falcon with a white mouthpiece and black logo. Most of my other Falcons are straight American versions with black mouthpieces; I got this one with the white mouthpiece so that my pipe would be colour coordinated with my white ensemble (white two-piece suit, white Cole Haan wingtips, and white Biltmore Homburg).

Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I've been drowning with work and home life but finally got a chance to really sit down and enjoy a smoke.

Windy evening again, but snuck in a bowl of Jack Knife Plug in a Kaywoodie 09B Thorn.

Just got home from pipe club. I made tortellini for dinner and I'm now relaxing with Haunted Bookshop in a Brandon Brooks.

Sun Bear Mountain Flower in my '66 Shell Briar, and the last of my Tennessee whiskey. Heading back there on Saturday for a week so plan to find some more, iffn the storms and tornados allow. I hope all out that way are staying clear!

Half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a late 1890s, early 1900s straight smooth brown unbranded billiard with an A&D silver cap and ferrule with a tapered amber stem and orific bit. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

The Briar Works Zulu with WCC ACPM- a wonderful tobacco 1indeed.
A Freemont brewery IPA accompanying.

Freemont! Good brew. That neighborhood (the Freemont Pub, next block over, was a college regular hangout for some of us) calls themselves "The Center of the Universe." It has to be somewhere, right?

Lovely, magnificent little(?) pipe!

Happy Wednesday all! Just finished enjoying some Cult Blood Red Moon in my Peterson terracotta bent Rhodesian 999 P-lip. A nice 'dessert' to a black pepper turkey sandwich and pasta salad lunch. Waiting for a Guinness to settle as I write this. The Pete has continued to stain my fingers, but not as badly now. I am going to give it a few more smokes before deciding its fate.

I had a pipe do that and I wiped it repeatedly with a paper towel and water. I think I used a little Ever clear as well. It no longer leaves stain on my fingers. It removed whatever the pipe was coated with but I think it looks ok.

Love the grain and colors on that.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2023 in an undated, unbranded straight lattice meerschaum military mount with a silver cap and tapered yellow acrylic stem. Watching the rest of the Braves-Red Sox game that I missed while phone chatting with a friend.

 

[LeafErikson]

Lots of Pegasus in a Tekin and a bowl of Anthology in an Altinay.
