What Are You Smoking - January 2017

Bald Headed Teacher in in a RD Pipes Canadian.

Now smoking C&D Cube Cut Burley in a smooth straight 1980s James Upshall Walnut pot with a black vulcanite stem.

In the dinner i raised a glass of semi-sweet red wine because i bought today a new i5 SSD laptop plus full HD tv-monitor and a set of computer speakers! I am excited but not in a hurry to install the whole set, i will take my time but i feel great because i have now an old model Windows-XP desktop.



I am smoking Robert McConnell D.C. Black Honey.

Now smoking C&D Bright Virginia Ribbon in an early smooth Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend egg/rhodesian pipe with a bamboo-style carving on the shank and a black acrylic stem. Still watching the Mary Tyler Moore marathon.

Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.

Listing this a little early so I can watch a movie undisturbed: early 2000s Charatan Mild Flake in a straight smooth patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking C&D Burley Flake #3 in a 1980s Peterson 314 Full Bend black Sandblast system pipe with a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Working and listening to the BBC.

Just finished smoking Rattray’s Dark Fragrant in a 1978 smooth full bend Lorenzo Adria Standard 733 flame grain egg with a black vulcanite stem.

Now smoking Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Suzy wants attention too, so I quit work and gave in to the little moppets. Yeah, yeah... I know who the bosses are around here, but when Suzy and Molly meow, they'd melt a politician's heart. I'm just happy they don't mess with my pipes or tobaccos.

G'Sunday folks, mixed 50g of Cap'n Black gold & 50g of old ( pre tax) Farmers Honeyblend herbal tobacco ( lawful) & shook it up in a plastic bag & jarred it, my first impressions are positive the Farmers "bread" adds some tang to the Cap'n Black gold Buffalo cow milk butter, my "Butter & Bread" mix, more anon, with some pinches of sliced plug or rope, it would make a nice spread on the "Butter & Bread" , heavens breath !!! Bye for now.
