I gave that stuff up years ago along with Cigarettes. No more Lucky Strikes, Stella’s or Glenlivet.
Im keeping the daily chew, pipes, coffee and occasional cigar.
That stuff will kill you man !

It’s funny how I quit going to jail right about the same time I quit partying
Thank God I did all my hell raising prior to the advent of cell phones and social media

 

[Sobrbiker]

Almost forgot, I had some of my Dark Sails mix in a Peterson Sports #2


Speaking of short nose warmers, I haven’t seen @KORNEY this year. I pray he’s ok, his neck of the woods has been a little turbulent…

 

[ashdigger]

Dark Flake in a Pete. Drink some Old Fashioneds erasing s long week.

Sansepolcro in a Rossi Mezzanotte Bent Brandy.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking year 2016 Peter Heinrichs Special Curly in a reddish brown 2002 Caminetto J.N.C.C. Spool three quarter bend smooth flat top and bottom with sandblast in-between and a tapered black acrylic stem. The pipe is darker than the photo suggests. Fed all the ferals except for you know who. Been a quiet evening. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking first production Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz in a smooth medium brown medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem.

I'm smoking some Bayou Night in a Crown. Favorite place to smoke right on Lake Erie. Doesn't get much better than this.

OJK in a Pete SPD 2011 69.

Telescopes in an Il Ceppo.

Well, my gig is different than most. I’m a fire investigator. I go to scenes in NV, UT and AZ. All three are big states. lol.

I can’t fly because of my gear (some do, I just have never figured it out)

My fire tomorrow, yes, on Saturday, is here in Vegas. So that one, according to Google is roughly 10 miles.

The drive to Sparks is typical of how things go for me. I leave super early. Get on scene. Get done and go home.

I can stay in a hotel, nobody cares about that added expense, but, hotels don’t allow you in before 3pm. I was almost in my way home at 3, but. I still gotta get home.

And since I’m an early riser anyway, well, it doesn’t make sense in my tiny brain.

I also listen to books on tape and the miles just roll.

Current Book, Who Can Hold the Sea by Hornfisher.

Thanks for coming to my TimTalk

Hence the name @ashdigger, genius brother!

2 of my favourite Peterson Bulldogs today


The next is a Sherlock Holmes Hudson with a bowl of Sam Gawith’s Full Virginia Flake

 

[JimInks]

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a straight smooth brown 1950s Peterson K 608S pot with a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem.


Then, I dipped in to a jar of tobacco, and smoked a bowl of year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem.


Currently, I am close to finishing this bowl of 2022 Robert McConnell’s Ready Rubbed in a straight dark brownish sculpted 1960-70s Peterson meer poker with a factory replacement tapered black AB p-lip stem. I thought I'd have a bowl of this blend which I haven't smoked in quite a while. I also picked three Petes that I haven't smoked in a while for the sake of variety and the use of lately neglected pipes.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is Wilke Wall Street in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem. Haven't smoked this Pete in a while either. I've had a busy time the last few hours. Traffic copping feral feeding, and had a long chat with an old friend who is dealing with some serious problems. Friends should always be there for friends.

 

[Sigmund]

Just a small bowl of Reniers golden flake in Kai.
I need to keep my eyes out for more small bowl pipes like this one.

Some C&D House Reserve in a pencil stem Ser Jacopo Spongia. The House Reserve blend is sold only in brick and mortar stores and cannot be purchased online. It was a little bonus to shops for selling the C&D line.
