What Are You Smoking- August 2016

MacBaren Symphony in a very ugly reddish color 1980 medium bend Lorenzo Leganza Sigma 8635 etched rough top.

Listing this a little early: 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin with a black acrylic stem.

G'day, I will have to try PS, PE, in my Parker Billiard, but with my limited education , I struggle with contemporary grammar, in our multicultural world of American English, Asian English & Afrikan English, & British English, it seems in this world of the M. TV MacPC , the only third person , personal pronoun permitted is now IT !
My dog Pop , seems to Catnap all day, but he had the operation for free , as a "prisoner" of the RSPCA,  so he is an IT too, such is life...
PS. I have enjoyed some American literature , as well as British & European & world literature & the typo's & spelling, & free verse, makes me want to sharpen my quill & write letters. But maybe the new lingua franca, will soon be Arabic or Esperanto or a computer language or TwitterSpeak or the Dollar bill  ! 
PPS, excuse the little rant , a sore point,but I am  not criticising just sourgrapes having no Latin, in the face of change & ageing , tide & time stop for noman, but is an IT a man ? 
Started the morning with a few puffs of G PlumCake in my Hardcastle jockey club pipe, walking Pop, next a Royal Dutch blue in the meer holder before breakfast.
Enjoy your puffing & whiffing friends & all.   ( a grumpy old fool today, a civilian, unprepared & unarmed in the modern world) 

Well said (or is that well put?) Stan!

Just returned from a lunch time bowl of Orlik Golden Sliced in a MM Legend. Fresh instant coffee and ready for the afternoon shift.

G'Day ye all, I had a really enjoyable smoke after lunch walking Pop. It was overcast with dark clouds, hot & muggy , as we say, meaning it is a moist & sweaty atmosphere, ready for an impending rainstorm or thunderstorm , to clear the air. I had bowl of G Old Tom's mix in my well worn MM corncob, with a slightly bent Amber stem, the Germain's are really to my taste, traditional English blends, Uncle Tom's has bright, light colour, with a pleasing mellow taste that you expect. But it reminds me of my favourite English biscuit , Rich Tea, a plain unflavoured slightly browned crispy biscuit, as pleasing as a crusty loaf of fresh bread, or a ripe speckled brown banana, the Rich Tea is traditionally eaten with a cup of tea with milk, and maybe a spoonful of sugar, and it can be dunked into the tea, giving the crispy almost savoury plain biscuit a creamy taste and texture. Such is Uncle Tom's maybe smoked on the verandah or in your conservatory in the light of day as bright as the blends look, with plain tea & biscuit. Enjoying some cool Spring waters, old Pop is still panting. Bye'All.

University Flake in a Basil Meadows Bing.

Just finished smoking C&D Burley Flake #3 in a 1980s Peterson 314 Full Bend black Sandblast system pipe with a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Now smoking C&D Christmas Blend 2016 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer with a black vulcanite stem. Cleaning a few pipes before I go to work.

Finishing up a bowl of Three Friars in a Stanwell Silver Mount blasted billiard.

G'evenin'folks, smoking some Old Gandhi's Postman, a rare local blend, in my Billy'O Piper Christmas Special a cherrywood bowl & Ivory style stem with a brass band between, engraved with elvish script, of Our White Lady of the Oakwoods, by a local artisan Charles Carpenter. May you find peace & happiness.....
