What Are You Smoking - March 2017

A couple minutes or so away from smoking D&R VIP in an unbranded '70s Charatan smooth straight Billiard with a black vulcanite stem. Watching Cannon.

Now smoking Amphora Original (Brown) in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 4 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic stem.

All is right in the Universe.  I will sleep well, Jim. 

Half way through this bowl of C&D Crooner in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend with a yellow stem.

A morning vape of 0mg. Ice Menthol as a decongestant in an ITaste VTR.

Hello from Greece, we have strong rain here in Athens.

My Bing's Favorite taking the "Flavor Train" to the zone with some Old Joe Krantz with a pinch of 1Q mixed in for the lady (and to add a tad of sweetness).... AH life is good!

Another snowstorm on the Avalon.Smoking some Boswell's Best in a Peterson's Rusticated Darwin.

Lunted Pop with a bent standard Falcon & Rhodesian bowl homebrew mix, a few whiffs of an Independence cigar to celebrate the "launch of the Eagle" , with thanks to Baboo & all. Smoking a homebrew sweet grassy earthy mix in a dark Parker Bent Rhodesian. Waters on the table. Grey , but mild , no rain.

A few whiffs of my Independence cigar, smoking my ashtray mix in a PM black rustic bent Meerschaum with a broad stem. Waters on the table. Alex Jones on Pure Internet radio for my errors.

Fed us, a few more whiffs of an Independence cigar, smoking Three Nuns in a Dawnmist white short Moorlander clay pipe. Guinness on the table. Looking for a movie to watch this evening.
PS. Watched the Bremen Pipers latest video a suggestion for an Easter Blend , Rattrays Blossom Temptation " an honest aromatic " I will give it a try , he suggested Peterson's Holiday Season 2016  for Xmas,  a great smoke.

Just finished working 60 1/2 hours up to this afternoon. Went outside, fed the birds, then went into the garage for a bowl of RLP-6 in one of my MM cobs. It is in the 30's here in New Jersey, and the wind is honking today. We are being told we could get a nice nor'easter here around Tuesday, so I guess I better get some smoking done before then.

Tomorrow I will pull the generator out of the garage and fire it up just in case. Of course all the knuckleheads will be at thee grocery store buying milk, bread, and eggs. Now there is a good question, who makes french toast every time a storm is forecast, or is that just a coincidence? We really have not had much snow here this year, and I wonder if mother nature is going to make up for that?

Being so close to the ocean, we are often on the wrong side (or right side depending on your opinion) of the rain / snow line on coastal storms. I have seen some whoppers over the years with both rain and snow. Wind here is always a real issue, we are right on the bay separating us from Atlantic City with about 3 miles of bay and meadows which does nothing to mitigate the wind. Several years ago we got nailed two years in a row with hurricanes and nor'easters, and one year a "Derachio" that really clobbered us. Over the years we have been out of electricity for many, many days.

We always have food stocked up, gas fireplace ready, plenty of batteries, so I suppose as long as my pipe tobacco and my cigars stay dry we will be OK.

So everyone on the east cost from the Carolina's up to New England stay aware, prepare if by tomorrow or tomorrow night the "forecasters" have a more concise and dire prediction. Keep your tobacco and your matches dry.

See you on the other side.

Just finished smoking St. James Flake in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano Billiard with a black acrylic stem. This was a long, delicious smoke.
