What Are You Smoking - August 2017

Just about finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.

Erinmore on lunch.

Lane: HG-2000 in a Mastro de Paja rusticated Classica bent Apple. Coffee accompanies. Good smoke greetings to members and guests, worldwide and stateside.

Stokkebye: 4th Generation 1897 in an unknown English blast Billiard with Silver military mount. More java in the mug. Cheers.

5 Bros. in the MM Diplomat Apple with a glass of ice tea.

I'm a little bit past a quarter way of GLP Stonehenge in a Peterson rhodesian.

E. Hoffman - Spilman's Mixture in the Comoy's Blue Riband 133 canadian.

Dunhill dark flake in a Peterson Aran bent billiard. Ice tea.

I stand corrected,,, SMH,,,, there are uppity and hipster pipers!

I was serious about buying a Bing as it's a great smoker, but I thought it was clear I was joking about the "in crowd". First time in my life I was called "uppity" or a "hipster".

There's a first then, LMAO. Thought it was obvious I was joking, sorry you didn't think so.

Just made a Sam's run, man I wish those cases of water were in a 50 count and not the measly 40 count. That's a joke Jim BTW they're heavy as all get out, and no, I don't want it any heavier. Had a great burn of Dunhill nightcap in my father's full bent Camenetto Business Oom Paul Egg, drinking Crystal Light Sweet Tea. Knapp Time.

Sometimes, it's hard to read intent in cold type. As long as we are okay - which we are - the rest doesn't matter.

Almost half way through this bowl of Peter Stokkebye Bright Virginia in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Billiard bowl with a long Canadian stem, unbranded. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Enjoying my new watch, which you can see in the watch thread in this forum:  thebriarpatchforum.com/thread/1728/watch-talk?page=2

Errand tuning earlier, so it was Ready Rubbed Match in Rob Roy & Legend cobs. Same blend now in an old style MM Dipomat. Cranberry juice for the palate. Good smokes your way.

Ps cube cut in a new to me malaga smooth pot with a tim west replacement stem. Smoking nice amd easy. Pure leaf mint tea on the rocks in the insulated container. Contemplating whether old dark fired and dark strong kentucky are in the same family. I havent done my research on both but I'm a fan of the orlik offering since I picked some up in alabama.

This Sutliff Match is really clicking today & I am having a 4th bowl in a MM Patriot refitted with a briar shank and vulcanite stem. Preparing a gallon of sun tea as though it was a respite of a couple 80's days, forecast calls for a return to the miserable mid-90's and iced tea is the best thirst quencher for me in hot and inhospitable weather.
