***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

[kg.legat0]

Enjoying a bowl of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake in a Dr. Grabow Royalton - Southern Tier Hazy IPA in a supporting role - a wonderful reprieve after a full work day and evening full of teaching guitar lessons.

I bought a pound of this when it was released - the topping has chilled out juuuust a bit, tasting better than ever!

Threw together another impromptu blend for today's lunting in my MM Country Gentleman, an 80/20 mix of CAO Moontrance and Drucquer & Sons Loch Ness. I call it "Scottish Lunatic." Naming blends is clearly not my strong suit.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California thrasher, Northern flicker, White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, Chipping sparrow, Oak titmouse, California towhee, Brewer's blackbird, House finch, California quail, and Mountain chickadee. Very active day out there, despite the cold (37 for the record, though I'm sure @alaskanpiper could very well be paralyzed by hysterical fits of laughter at the very NOTION of anything above single digits being referred to as "cold"). To that, I say: dude, I'm from the Valley! Anything below 60 is cold!

Hey man I’d take 9 ambient over 37 with a stiff breeze anyday. It was 24 and gusty here today and just by the time I walked to my car my nips could cut glass.

Now smoking Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Welp, that bowl of Vanilla Roll Cake was not the last stop..onto a bowl of Amphora Virginia in another Dr. Grabow (Riviera) - a darn fine blend. Watching "Archer" (hilarious, never really watched it before) as I finish my beer (took tomorrow off of the 9-5, just a short solo jazz guitar in the evening!) --Cheers folks!

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Off to work I go.

Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem. Working and listening to Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour.

Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a Rossi (by Savinelli) Kopp Special Edition Vulcano 320 Author.



I’m feeling pretty bummed. A UK package arrived empty today—it was supposed to contain an unsmoked Ropp Cherrywood pipe with original horn stem that was made at Ropp’s first workshop in Bussang in the 1800s. Ugh. I don’t expect it can be tracked down.

Kajun Kake! Inquiring minds want to know: is the room note more like blackened catfish or straight up tear gas? ;-)

Picked up a can of that special reserve last night at the SPC monthly meeting, which also happened to be their annual slow smoke competition. It was exciting stuff!

Just finished smoking C&D Yorktown in a straight sandblasted black circa 1920s-30s (Comoy’s) Ancestor bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black tapered p-lip stem.

Somewhere between cigar and burning leaves.

Just finished my first clay pipe experience. After being burned twice, I now understand why Sherlock Holmes played by Jeremy Brett, needs to hold his pipe stem with two fingers.
