What Are You Smoking January 2019

I switched from SPRT to LC Cherry, same pipe. I see a lot of reviewers yammering about the "artificial" cherry taste and smell...I guess maybe it is but it's good anyway. It burns pretty dirty, not wet, and I like that. More tar/gunk equals great seasoning potential for a pipe.

I prefer floral ghosts over cough syrup. To each his own I guess...Lol

He IS drinking Bustello.

Seasoning is key to pipe satisfaction.

I thought it was how much money you spend?

Not for this boy. That seasoning thing means you are saving on pipe cleaners too.

Good morning, smoking Heins's Blend in a Kaywoodie 99b and drinking bustelo from the Stanley. Equipment issues has put a temporary hold on me this morning and I'm finally back up and running. It's cold.

Someone needs to invent washable hard plastic pipe cleaners. They would last forever.

It's more Luden's cherry than Robitussin, so...

I used to eat Ludens cherry cough drops like candy, I never did acquire a taste for the regular menthol flavor.

Is that three out of five bulbs? That's pretty good.

I am about halfway into a bowl of ODF-RR in a Custombilt "pocket."

Isn't life in the Northeast wonderful? It's 7f here and looking to be -7f for the start of work in the morning

Never a dull moment and it's supposed to be in the 40's this weekend.

It is true that above freezing temps are expected by Sunday, but this cold snap going on is remarkable. The high today was -4, will get down to -14 of 15 tonight. Meanwhile, I’m getting alerts on the phone to conserve electricity by turning house temp down to 65 deg until Friday. No problem for me since I run daytime temp at 66 deg, nighttime at 60.

On a brighter note, this afternoon I was able to get the truck to start and no tires were flat...yet.

We keep a steady 72 all year round. Luckily we have a fireplace for times like this.
