What Are You Smoking - January 2018

I started my day with a bowl of RO Series Perique Blend GP-11 in a Peterson Killarney bulldog with a vulcanite p-lip stem. It's 15F in Brooklyn.

The day started in fine fashion with a mug of black coffee and some Edgeworth RR'd in a bent Mastro.

Suzy and Molly still keeping you on your toes eh? Good for them. 

Hi, I've been meaning to try this blend but have read mixed reviews. Do you consider it something worth smoking on its own or more of a blending tobacco? Do you notice any sourness in the blend? Thanks.

Ive got patriot flake burning in the RobE Hurricane. Black coffee in the contigo. I got the chance to smoke a few bowls while watching the fellowship of the rings last night at IRTT (localish b&m). Including my first bowl of grousemoor. I'm still on the fence with it since it was like smoking an incense stick. I'll be picking up a tin to explore it more since I do enjoy lakelands on occasion.

Relaxing after a chicken casserole lunch with a bowl of 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2014 Savinelli Gaius smooth brown slight bend black acrylic stem and ferrule 320KS author. A bottle of Boylan's Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Have Gun, Will Travel.

I just finished a bowl of C&D Pegasus in a 2017 Don Warren Freehand sitter with a plateau rim and butterscotch acrylic stem. That finishes this one ounce sample, and I got 13 bowls from it.

The Dalton version was really good. He is in the better half of James Bonds, too. I think if people go look at every Bond film they will feel like his acting was more serious of an attempt, rather than the tongue and cheek that made Bond more lowbrow. 

As to the 90's version of Jayne Eyre, it was not as long as it could have been, but the story was indeed full, and I love it.  The colors and scenery remind me of Brett Sherlock Holmes episodes. The actress wasn't as comely as some in the role, which made her more of an appealing person in this role.

Enjoying some MacB Golden Extra in the MM Rob Roy. Another cup of Scottish Breakfast on the side.

Not far from finishing this bowl of C&D Stovepipe in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls. Watching M*A*S*H.

Match Holiday in the Dunhill trying to decide whether to watch the 'misbehaving kids' movie marathon on channel 2, the 'funny horror' movie marathon on channel 5, or just keep listening to the radio. That's the good thing about watching sports, you can just mute the TV and listen to the radio. They moved wrestling from Sunday afternoon to Saturday nights during the NFL play-offs replacing Saturday night boxing and it's really throwing off my schedule. I mean, grid-iron football is a sport but boxing is at its best an art and at its worst a real tactical battle. At least the Caribbean baseball series starts next month!

Installing Downdraft vent system for oven, enjoying some Cornell& Diehl Yorktown
in a noname pipe, cold water on the side. TCM is on.

Dan tobacco midnight ride in the cd mm charlestown cobbler. This is well aged and probably the first clue into what my mouth doesnt tolerate well and i always thought it was latakia and this baccy is an oriental forward va per or and its stinging the hell out of me despite its 12 year age. Its my first bowl of it and I'll keep working at it in a couple more pipes, but I'm going to have some test smokes with more oriental forward blends and see what happens.
