What Are You Smoking - January 2017

Now smoking the last of this sample of 2006 Hal O’ The Wynd in a 2002 black sandblast full bend D.R. Ardor Urano Fatta A Mano with a slightly tapered far side of the bowl and a black acrylic stem.

RIP.Mary Tyler Moore.    Mary seemed to represent everything good about the American dream.  Puffing on St Bruno in my Bruno Freehand.

G'eve, more St.Bruno in the Bruno pipe & a Romeo Y Julietta Puritas cigar, poor Pop Jude troubled again, a sick rescue dog....bye

Just finished smoking Penzance in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

3P's in a Moonshine Ancestor Dublin.

Relaxing after a wonderful barbecue pork chops and baked potato dinner, and am about half way through this bowl of Dunbar In a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

Not far from finishing this bowl of McClelland 5100 in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a multi-colored ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top with a black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking Uhle’s Perfection Plug Burley in my old reliable 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Phone chatting with a pipe enabler.

Now smoking Standard Tobacco Company of Pennsylvania War Horse Ready Cut in a 2015 smooth unfinished Savinelli 320KS author with a black vulcanite stem.

Good morning from Greece, a sunny day till now here in Athens.



Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey - Peterson Flame Grain.

getting an early start this morning with GL Pease Sixpence (thank you, Baboo!) in my MM Legend straight amber stem. It isn't at all what I expected, very subtle and mellow, not overwhelming, though I don't think hubby will like the room note (thank goodness for smoker's candles!) It was a different kind of tobacco than I've ever used. I broke it up, I assume that was what I was supposed to do. So now I'm leisurely puffing while watching Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. Yes, while hubby is at work I spend the day with another man, lol. Sometimes two if I watch Poirot

Almost finished smoking Stokkebye Natural Dutch Cavendish in a 1970s medium bend smooth Ben Wade Golden Walnut freehand with a black vulcanite stem. The city sanitation truck finally came to pick up the pile of leaves in our front yard, and were very loud about it. Gonna try sleep again in a few minutes.

I overfilled my first pipe, had to stop half-way through, but I was completely enjoying the Sixpence. Switched now to C&D Epiphany (thanks 10furlongs!) in my MM Legend bent amber stem. Only filled half the bowl this time, have quite a few I want to try today. I must explain that our car is broke down right now and hubby borrows my mother's car 3-4 times a week to go to work, 1-2 days he gets a ride with a co-worker. If I am home when hubby has my mother's car then she is stuck at home (which is next door to me *sigh*) and she will be over here underfoot most of the day. SO, to preserve my sanity I go to hubby's office with him and sit in a corner and crochet all day. Hubby doesn't like me to smoke when he is in the room with me, so unless he is outside in his woodshop I don't get an opportunity to smoke in the evening. Yesterday and Today hubby got a ride with a co-worker, so this is the first opportunity in a couple weeks I've had to be home alone, so I'm seizing the day and chain-smoking, lol.
