What Tobacco Are You Smoking? -July 2016

Just past the half way mark on this bowl of P&W #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite stem. I have just enough for one more bowl, durn it.

Relaxing after having an anniversary Mexican dinner with a bowl of PCCA Millennium 2000 in a 1970s smooth straight rough top Charatan's Make (Lane) Perfection Deluxe Extra Large and a black vulcanite stem. On the way home, we stopped got delicious strawberry milk shakes, too!

Now smoking Peretti’s No. 1072 in a 2003 URAL full bend big bowl egg shaped Lattice meer with a black acrylic stem. Have enough left for a bowl or so. Listening to Vin Scully as I go to work.

Now smoking FVF in a 2014 Savinelli Gaius smooth brown slight bend black acrylic stem and ferrule 320KS author. Have enough for one small bowl. Working and listening to the A's-Pirates game.

Now smoking Brigham Acadian Perique in a 2003 smooth three quarter bend Rinaldo Fiammata Odissea Titania 02 Silver Line 3 Straight Grain egg with a black acrylic stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Work is done for the day, and I'm relaxing as I phone chat with a good friend.

Sitting in my yard on the corner bench with a cup of coffee and Traditional hymns on the Internet radio, a silvery bright sky, after walking Pop & having breakfast outside for the first time for a while because of the rain, putting the dampeners on my outdoor refuge.
Having my Slav Folk Poker with the silvery ring with my Uncle Tom's blend, I must say this is a fine mild mellow , almost healing balm tobacco,
compared to some of the stronger rich spicy sometimes more astringent Balkans, and even some stronger Aromatics, I like the cool dry creamy slightly nutty taste, especially with coffee, but you can always add a whisky or honey mix to it, for more flavour, some like a more flavoursome smoke but a pure simple tobacco natural flavour is fine at times.
Enjoy your weekend folks & find peace in your faith whether in God or philosophy or what....best be kind not cruel, despite what fate throws at you...

Lazy Sunday afternoon , after Sunday lunch, baking in the sunshine with the occassional puffs on the " Viking Wizard" mix in my MM Country Genteman, with more Traditional hymns......planning the jobs to be done....amidst the music.

Had a cup of tea in my Royal Albert, getting a pick me up from Frank MacCool Sinatra doing it his way at all the big venues on YouTube , an honorary Brit, smoking a new favourite Uncle Tom's in my Blakemar Dark Rustic Poker black straight . Thinking of all the old ratpack films and even Bob & Bing....my old gogglebox wasted youth...

The last of my stash of P&W #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite stem.

Grooved along to Frank on my Zenko in my little sunny smoke spot in the corner of the garden, finishing the Uncle Tom's in the Blakemar rustic poker, came indoors & had some Pringles with Tzatziki dip & cool lemonade, looking for a movie to watch , this sunny lazy weekend in July and Saint Thomas Day (new).

It's a cold evening here in Cape Town (that is, for our standards). Snow on the mountains, exactly where it belongs!

Now smoking Reiner’s Long Golden Flake in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Should have stocked this one.
