What Are You Smoking- August 2016

Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Hi guys & gals, finishing the remains of HU G Dixter in my Brit Thursday Briar, my Blakemar Aristocrat Rustic Poker after my teatime evening meal, be seein'Y'All.

Now smoking MacBaren Cube Gold in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. Not far from finishing work for day and for the next few days. I like the former, but not the latter.

G'evenin'all, puffing on my Blakemar Thursday Britbriar, with Germain's 1820 mix, exquisite ! Wrestling with the Inklings & ChesterBelloc & the new Book, in my leisured study & smoke rings , be prepared....still sipping on yesterday's unfinished glass of Buffalo Trace, bye to Ya this day.

Dobie's Four Square English in an Il Ceppo Dublin.

Mick McQuaid plug in a Clark Layton bent apple.

Not far from finishing this bowl of GLP Temple Bar in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band and a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Almost time for Vin Scully.

Part way through this bowl of a fresh pouch of Iwan Ries Three Star Blue in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem. Listening to Vin Scully on the XM. What a difference in taste this blend has when it's fresh. Much, much better than the sample I smoked in the past.

Now smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Vin Scully call the Dodgers game on MLB TV.

Thanks Baboo , Hans provides excellent service we could all learn from, & the Bremen piper speaks well of HU on his YouTube videos , I have not visited Bremen, but it has a lot in common with my hometown Liverpool , & I like Ronnies pipe shop & lounge in the City of Bremen, I feel as though I have smoked there already, but HU tobacco's are Bread & Butter blends for me , like the 3 B's, Beethoven , Brahms & Bach, the bedrock of EU culture. But the traditional English blends are the main courses, to go wth the EU HU, bread & butter. 
I always have time for an American fast food barbecue, when I can get it, there is always an occassional Big Mac & perhaps a Stokkebye Cherry  Aromatic in my good old MM King corn cob fishing on the Brandywine river....& dream of American Pie.,.bye bye...

Part way through this bowl of John Barrett Salad Bowl Mixture in a 2015 John Barrett slight bend smooth rock maple poker with a walnut shank and a black vulcanite stem.

G'Mornin'folks, a fresh as a Cox Pippin Apple start to the day , clear salty blue sky with distant pale rusty clouds. Went walking Pip , armed to the teeth, with a bare Royal Dutch cigar clenched in my lips, my Friday Brit briar, the Parker Rhodes primed with HU E breakfast in my right pocket , as crisp as well browned fresh toast & my Kong White bowled & woody red bent stem armed with HU G Dixter , like marmalade Pop . It is a Bank Holiday weekend full of Muzakal expectation. Lit the cigar & strolled the hound dog, early office girl ladies coming into the light as though they were off to an English country festival, O to be young, but work to be done. My Bro, walking the toy girly dog, avoiding my Brute hounds advances on Little Rosie. Lit the Rhodes polished briar, walking down hill , with the crisp view of the looming Cymru hills, John & George, Whistling & Fiddling in the misty horizon, forever. A fair lady leaving her little villa as pure as a summer rose greets me like the song of our Madonna, & walks like a bride of the morning to her labour. Lit the Kong marmalade Dixter, at the Elms & Ash five ways crossroads, & walked into my Bro, by the pool bar on his other way. Bright & dark glassy bead cars rushing by. I spotted young John Lennon in his black saloon, looking as cool as a wannabe samurai, in his dreams. Struggled with the Kong pipe, & felt home with the Rhodes breakfast,. Sat at the bus stop, looking at the sorrowful office girls cruising past, Pop feeling boisterous barks at a bus, & looks for some reward, so I fuss over him.
Get home & have my Bran medicine Breaky, looking forward to a coffee, only instant it is my Karma to be too busy for doing the beans myself.
Luv'Ya & Leave'Ya All.

Little work to do on this beautiful sunshine day, but still stuck indoors in the office. Just returned from outside, after a bowl of Orlik Golden sliced in a cob.

Starting off my smoking day with Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. A bottle of Sprite is my drink. Watching The Man With the Golden Gun.

The clay I was smoking Condor in broke when I went to clean it. Still a little bummed about it, especially because I'm careful about that stuff.
