What Are You Smoking - January 2017

took a break, my son came over to take out the dog and stayed to talk. he is a young man of few words so when he wants to chat i drop everything and engage him, while eating a lunch of a microwave sesame ginger dinner with eggroll, which was yummy! i am smoking Shortcut to Mushrooms (thank you, Baboo!) and it is awesome. nice billowy smoke and pleasing aroma -- a little challenging to desscribe. using my MM nekid apple Diplomat with bent amber danish stem.

Now smoking 2012 Anniversary Kake in a smooth medium bend 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite stem. Planning my work day with a little leisure.

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a 2003 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a black acrylic stem. Doing some work.

Sam Gawith Squadron Leader Special Edition in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a black acrylic stem.

While finishing this bowl of "Tom's Mix" I'm loading my next bowl with prototype HU Red Fox... NPR radio in the background, Riker, Radio, and Jupiter at my side/s - piping & creaturehood = bliss!

Salty Dogs plug in a JZP bent Rhodesian.

Listing this a bit early so I can concentrate on work for a while: John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight smooth patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite stem.

Is that the break-in for that pipe, John?  Never mind.  Saw that you had inaugurated with Revor.  Smoking well, I bet.

A third of the way through this bowl of Lane Limited Ready Rubbed in a 2016 PSF POY quarter bend black sandblasted Vermont Freehand egg with an aluminum band and a tortoise shell colored acrylic saddle stem.

Starters: MacBaren Dark Twist Roll Cake with 2 coins of Peter Heinrichs Special Curly at the bottom of the bowl (for reasons to be explained later) in a Pietenpauw rhodesian with ivory (warthog tusk) shank ring and cumberland stem. Coffee x 2. TGIF.

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. Still working.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Stokkebye Highland Whiskey in a 2013 slight bend grain etched briar John Barrett Volcano with a walnut shank and a black plastic stem. This will end my smoking day.
