***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am half way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. The last of this bag of Gold Star Jamaican Estate, neat, is my drink.

What in the hell is going on around here with the unholy mixtures y’all are blindly throwing together?
“I’m out of Navy Flake so I substituted Navel Lint and dried Parsley. ( No offense Gord)Also out of Rum so I just spritzed it with Hydrogen peroxide.”

“ I filtered some tobacco crumbs out of my vacuum bag and combined them with my prized collection of half burnt dottle in a pipe I made out of pressure treated wood”

Do you do this with other things in life like food or clothing?

GL Pease Quiet Nights in a Savinelli 316. Carry on with your ill advised experiments.

Oh yeah . . . forgot to add in the above post, that's a beautiful pipe. Love the shape and wood. After all, that's what it's really all about, eh? And never heard of Quiet Nights . . . . need one.

Having Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Folklore (2022, 805/1000) in a Savinelli Punto Oro Ambra 606 KS, Bent Billiard Limited Edition, with an 18 kt gold ring, and real, natural amber stem, with an orific bit. Unfortunately, this pipe is missing its second black acrylic mouthpiece, dark blue suede box, and ochre pipe sock.

For the initial smoke in the new Jesse Jones Acorn I chose Dan Hamborger Veermaster, of course.View attachment 394807

Very distiguished pipe - eyecatching without being gauche in the least. Wonderful.

Decided to move my long-neglected Half and Half out of the big glass jar on my pipe rack and into some smaller jars to be smoked at the lounge.
A few months ago I dropped a couple coffee beans in with them, and I think they've given it a little more flavor.

Couple bowls of that in the Merchant Service, occasionally interrupted by a meer of War Horse or EGR.

HU Dark Moor in the Peterson DeLuxe 132.
One can see how this stout apple made the grade.

Near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2016 Newminister 400 Superior Navy Flake in a straight smooth brown year 1948 Parker Super Bruyere patent 23 88/F bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Had a fun chat with a fellow comic book artist. Getting ready to clean a few pipes. Abner the Eager is on top of my chair.

Relaxing on the front porch after returning from fishing.
First voyage went very well.
Marked a lot of fish on the Garmin.
No Kokanee , the target species. Caught Four nice Rainbows.

Even Garter snakes have a mild neuro-toxin. But also rear fanged. They really gotta git to it if they wanna envenomate you.

If I heard correctly, I believe these rear fangs also assist the snake in swallowing their prey. The fangs in the back hold it as the muscles move it into the snakes gut......

I can never relax while fishing . . . . I hop in my 8 foot Zodiac, and go to war with the fish! Generally use a #3 rod with tiny flies, no matter what the enemy is . . . . I only relax onshore during slack times, but then I often go to a full sink with a #5 - 7 rod, larger flies, and target them deep. Very few kokanee worth catching up here. They're all fodder for large, predatory trout or char. A 6" kok is a monster up here, until you get to Lac La Hache 150 miles south, where they'll get to 3-5 pounds. There, they eat the trout!

What a great boat! Envious!

When I go fishing alone or with someone else that is “all business”, it’s a more focused, intense day of fishing. My wife loves going out on the boat and fishing. So, purposeful, focused fishing outings that are more laid back are the rule of the day. We also take our border collie mix with us.
Have a great day Gord!

Sleepy Suzy got on my lap, and I enjoyed a way too short snooze with her. I'm awake and smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a straight smooth dark brown in a 1950s Comoy’s Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Phillies game.
