***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm approaching the last third of this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I could not post here at all, so a full days smoking in one post


1. Late morning I smoked Daughters & Ryan Three Sails in a Balandis Oak Wood Author

2. Late afternoon it was cigar time: Romeo y Julietta Reserva Real

3. Now smoking Gawith Hoggarth and Company Dark Birds Eye in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard

Here's to the next Eight State release (2024 perhaps?)!

I have a lot of tins of 2022 to last a very long time

A third of a bowl left of 2019 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927.

Thank you!
It's one of my favorites.
Its purchase marked 1 month without cigarettes (and I'm still off them).

Wellllll.. what have you got incoming???

Now that you mention it, maybe I should buy something new. I mean, since you said so and all

Go scream at Amazon for Royalties LOL



Oh wow, so if the Promotion goes well, you might get back into the music scene?

No, it would mean I’d play one show. It would be a big local crowd though, we were well loved here in my home town.

Congratulations! I'll be coming up to a month off cigarettes soon as well. Keep it up!

You definitely should buy one! I will unveil the surprise tomorrow, it’s from a carver I’ve wanted something from for a while but way out of my price range, this one was the first manageable one of his I found..

Thank you, you as well!

For me, I think I'm pretty much in the clear so long as the Nat Sherman MCD is not brought back into production...

In PAD news, I have a new Satou almost paid off and just found a Cornelius Manz in my price range I've got secured. Normally his stuff is like 3 times what I am willing to shell out. !!!

@BenMN here is a hint

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to work with a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. The D-backs beat the Phillies. How 'bout that? Mad Dog Russo said a couple of days ago that if the D-Backs won games six and seven in Philly, that he would immediately quit his radio show. I'm interested to see how he weasels out of that promise.

Looking forward to the unveiling- will it be in this thread?

For me, I've had about 4-5 pipes in my sights for weeks. Just can't seem to commit to a single one...

I used to love Nat Sherman’s, I smoked from age 12 to 35, stayed quit for over 20 years, then found pipes. I never stopped missing smoking, this is the right way to do it. I will say quitting cigs was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, congrats on your success!
