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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2012 Stonehaven in a 2002 medium bend smooth brown Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10 with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

This tobacco has aged very well.

I'm two hours into this same bowl of Carolina Red Flake with Perique. It's my first time trying it and boy do I wish I would have bought several tins. Also, enjoying some Russian Caravan tea for the first time.

[Sandblast]

WOW ... never tried Pegasus, but so much love shown for it here ... then, last Tue, thanks to one of my Pipe Club brothers who so generously gifted me a nice baggie to enjoy (MUCH gratitude) ... I'm now seriously wondering if my CELLAR might, in the near future, look like this (???).

Irish Flake, then my Dark Sails mix, then Ryback/Odds and Ends pretty much back to back in the Sportsman 87 have been my workday smoke

Sobrbiker & Sandblast appear to tandemly run afoul of Jimlnks habit of solely dedicating a pipe to a blend. Guess we are heathens, just smoking "whatever", "whenever we feel like it" in whatever pipe we choose.

Pretty toasty for October. Yesterday the records for the latest 110* degree days in Metro Phoenix continued to fall, they clocked 113* for a high at Sky Harbor.

Picturing if Sandblast were to visit Sobrbiker, immediately complaining about the ungodly temps, then listening to Sobrbiker admonishing, "HEY, QUIT YOUR BITCHING ... this is what I simply LIVE with daily. Suck it up!"

Okay, then with the return invite for Sobrbiker to MN in Jan ... temps consistently -25 to -30, Wind Chills around -50, spit turning to ice before it hits the ground, Sandblast would take huge delight in telling Sobrbiker, "HEY, QUIT YOUR BITCHING ... this is what we LIVE with every Winter. Gotta grow a pair up here!"

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a straight dark brown 1920s Comoy’s Sunrise Natural S369 squat bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[Ted Vig]

Comoy #7 coin cut in an Edward's excel pipe. I don't know a lot about these pipes. I've read that Randy Wiley may have carved for them? All I know about this pipe is it has crazy straight grain all the way around and I can't find a single fill anywhere on it. If anyone knows if "Excel" is a model or grade, let me know.

A “warm” front moved through Anchorage bringing blustery rain and temps in the 40s. What little snow we had in town is gone and it’s hard to tell if it’s late Fall or early Winter. Perfect weather for an after-dinner cabernet, a cherry aromatic and the good Doctor Grabow.
