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

[JimInks]

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2010 Full Virginia Flake in a slight bend 1968 group 4S Dunhill Shell 475 cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke with any luck. Fed all the ferals. Tomato the Brave couldn't wait to come in to eat wet food, and he left a very clean plate. And just as fast as he came in and as fast as he ate, he ran to the back door to go out, so I obliged the little fella. All the others acted normal.

Got bought a pint of real ale, given a lot of free dragonweed & won a tin of Robert McConnell Black & Gold. Should be good in the King's Clay!

First smoke in the clay shape churchwarden I got from @tobakenist; met Andy from the Sealed Knot again today - good to meet him again. We smoked a clay at Nantwich last January & hoping to again next year. I was smoking 1792 Flake at Nantwich this year. Made 2 new friends as well; hoping to meet one of them for a few beers & bowls after Christmas.

Going to FIRE UP a Clay now!

“The Clay King”, Outstanding! Thank you for recording and posting! What a beautiful venue! Look at all those pipes and tobaccos! Where did they get that weather and sunshine? Looks fabulous!

A crisp, sunny 9-degree morning. Still breezy. It never stops. Having some of that Smoker’s Haven Exotique I’ve been posting about in a 1992 London-made store brand from The Scottish Piper gift shop (Now defunct maybe? was in Eastgate Shopping Centre, between Bedfordview and Bezuidenhout Valley).

Spooky season is in full effect today with it being cloudy, breezy, and chilly out. Starting the week off with Five Brothers in a Grabow. With coffee, neat and pure, unblemished nectar as the gods intended.

Don't know about the Five Brothers, but I applaud your sentiments regarding coffee

@PaulRVA I love looking at that Cavicchi

Breaking out the Paul Becker pipe. I store my Salty Dogs plug in the container with Louisania Broken Flake. The flavor seeps into the flake a little. Im too lazy today to slice the plug into it.

Hey, I’m still a growing boy and want some more hair on my chest! If that blend doesn’t do it I don’t know what will lol

Edit: wait, yes I do and that’s Black Irish X. But I’m in no mood to smoke char grilled grates this morning!

Thanks @Sigmund ,
I’ll definitely be doing another Cavicchi as I’ve really enjoyed this one. Sounds like you got a Salty Cajun blend brewing. You would’ve loved my first wife
