What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Reiner Long Golden Flake in a 2014 smooth quarter bend Basil Meadows horn with a cumberland stem and a p-lip.

2015 Dunhill Nightcap in a 2014 Mark Tinsky sandblast taper poker.

Beautiful day turned over and and windy so I told the Tinsky to stay cool.

Was out cutting the lawn with Mac Baren Golden extra in a MM Greatdane Spool. And then it started to rain

Peterson’s Hyde Park in a 2014 smooth medium bend Basil Meadows egg with an aluminum band and a "root beer swirl" acrylic stem.

St. James Plug in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Balkan Mixture in a 1986 Radice Rind KS liverpool.

Rained this AM, turned beautiful and then a chill, overcast, wind and now it's pouring rain.

Note to self when speaking to Mother Nature: Get your act together and make it rain where they need it sometimes!

I can honestly say the certification for lawns was the easiest one to acquire and the most dangerous to practice.The chemicles for stuctures are so
weak now I'm surprized that have a smell let alone kill anything.What you buy from walmart is just as strong.The chemicles for weeds though, now those
scare me.They have more carcinogens than a brain tumor.I will say that any chemicle when applied with forethought and care is highly beneficial and
needed.Unfortunatly that is usually not the case,these guys are in a hurry to get the workorders filled, they are quite often paid on a commision so
more work done means more pay.I refused any job on commision and several times walked away from jobs that would have endangered surrounding areas.
I stopped a termite job for half a day because the birds were feeding on the earthworms we dug up with our trenching.Needless to say, the key words are
FORETHOUGHT and CARE, These companies today are profit driven and dont have the time to properly train or supervise their workers. As to the refineries,
I am surrounded by oil refineries have no clue how that could improve short of better cheaper electric cars.

Now to our regularly scheduled smoking,,,,Sutliff Highlander in a DR Grabow Viscount straight.

Matt,

Don't how I missed your post before. Thanks so much for weighing in on the subject.

Still smoking the Radice with G&H Balkan but I will smoke
more of this 2015 Gawith Hoggarth Balkan Mixture in a 1940s Barling Ye Olde Wood Fossil (sandblast) saddle billiard.

Now 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. This makes the 4th of the four Basil Meadows pipes I own that I smoked today. I sure like his pipes and recommend them.

Loaded up my huge MM General with HOTW while I watch the Red Sox play the Rays. This should take me to the 7th inning stretch.
