*** What Are You Smoking?*** (September 2019)

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty crab and veggies lunch, and am half way through this bowl of Watch City VaBur Test Sample # 3 in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315 with a black vulcanite stem, nickel band and p-lip. Just got this latest version today, so I'll be smoking more of it this afternoon.

Smoking the very last bowl of McClelland bulk VA No.2010 from my cellar in a Bjarne 1/8 bent egg. I had a pound of this tinned into 2oz tins by the Bufflehead shop back in 2004. While never my favorite McC bulk VA, it was always consistently good. I’ll miss this old reliable friend.

Now smoking Watch City VaPer Test Sample #3 in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem.

Smoking a no name meerschaum with "god's mix" of tins ends! I find that smoking ends helps me discern sublte flavors, especially when it's made a fairly nice tobacco's.

Going out to smoke my own mixture. I call it Blew Smoke since I first blended it at a Brooklyn Pipe Society meeting at Blew Smoke. Liked it so much I had Country Squire Make me up a batch. My goal is to use my noodle press to make a plug, but for tonight it is a ribbon cut.
