What Pipe or Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today? [pics]

Davidoff Argentina Cavendish in the above modified Fallion, double Greek coffee plus cool water beside me.

Good morning Ladies & Gentlemen from Greece, we had light rain few hours ago and now clouds in Athens.

Kong Christian Royal Mixture Sweet & Fruity.

I soaked some Goose Creek Red in Appleton Estates rum, and now I'm waiting patiently for it to dry while I x-ray welds. Helped myself to some of the client's coffee. The pipe is some no name Danish pipe called a Royal Guard.

CV, have you considered cooking that Goose (tobacco) in the industrial X-ray, instead of waiting patiently? Lot of photons happening there.

I tried accelerating the aging process with ionizing radiation once. There was no effect that I noticed. Either Ir192 isn't strong enough, or I didn't leave it long enough. Could use Co60, but if food sterilization is a baseline dosage, you're talking several hours at 45ci.

A Bee as my tea cup infuser, gift from the family. Beside are my wife's Greek pastry for Christmas called Melomacarona.

I am smoking Erinmore Mixture.

Yikes! What a humble guitar--impoverished student quality. It looks like that may be an old Harmony, sold by Sears & Roebuck. Maybe a "Stella", and mounting bronze-wound strings. I believe Dylan is seen with that particular guitar in no other available photo.

EDIT:

The [Gibson] J-50 “went missing” some time in 1963, and the replacement was what has become his most famous guitar: the Gibson Nick Lucas Special.

So he may have borrowed that heap-o-junk in a pinch.

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

He even had to borrow a pick.

I can't help but wonder at what stage people were in awareness of him in 1963. Personally, I look at this young man, and think who is this guy? What's he gonna do?

 

[Sid.Stavros]

Possibly a Telegraph Boy pipe smoking.

Benjamin Hartwell Signature Blend, double espresso and cool water as companion.

This morning's smoke was my very own Yellow Twist Bud.
It was kilned for 3 weeks, twisted into a pretzel shape, compressed for a few days and then sliced into birds-eye coins.
There is a natural sweetness that I certainly did not expect and am pleased with the flavor.

While watching in Murdoch Mysteries the rough Inspector Thomas Brackenreid of Toronto Constabulary my mind went back to our town Police Chief named Dimitrios Bairaktaris.
First he joint in the Hellenic Army at 1848 and became an Infantry Officer, he took an active part in the Cretan Revolution of 1866, where he was distinguished for his actions. In 1893 when the Military Police was established he was appointed as the Athens Police Chief. To those who had a propensity for the crime, it caused fear and terror and to those who want calm life, order and security, respect and trust. Bairaktaris was bold, righteous and hard, a real Man of Duty. The "political connections" meant nothing to him, he had no hesitations in Ethic rules, one day himself beat two English sailors and threw them into the sea because they insult in public a Greek woman. He solved many crimes committed in Athens and convinced the prime-minister to make the Copyright Law of the writers.
In 1897 he was named Colonel and in the declaration of the Greek-Turkish War of 1897 he was distinguished for his inertia by fighting in the first line of fire animating his men. He was retired on March 10 of 1900, promoted to Major General. He died four years later, at the age of 72 in Athens and still his memory is alive.

I am smoking New York Pipe Club Jack's Shanty Cigar Leaf Blend while reading incidents of his era, cup of chamomile beside me.

Good evening from Athens, the guy who is in the cup is my other tea infuser and in the small plate is "Kourambies" another Christmas Greek pastry.

Radford´s Rum Royal.

 

[deluxestogie]

...the guy who is in the cup...

I'll bet you wouldn't allow him to do that in your swimming pool.
