What Are You Smoking Pages.

[Charley Scanlan]

Vizier in a black CAO brandy meerschaum. Trying my hand at roasting some more of that good Costa Rican coffee. Second crack! Colander.

 

[JimInks]

Nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem.

Faulkner Flake in Volkan Antiqua

 

[Balisong]

Finished the day with GLP Kensington in a Pride and a glass of Lambrusco. We watched a documentary on a city to be built in Saudi Arabia call "The Line" that lacked concrete information.

 

[JimInks]

Off to work with a bowl of Wilke No. 222 in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I have reviews of several others

I looked at TR. The three blends are made by C&D but had burley or were aromatic. A pipe smoking buddy brought me one of their bulk English blends that was ok, I'm not sure of the source.

Second crack! Colander.

I stop before the second crack to avoid bitterness.

Had some Boswell Military Force in a Rustic Peterson Size 68 Spigot Pipe.

 

[Charley Scanlan]

MB Black Ambrosia in an AKB Sultan meerschaum.

 

[Charley Scanlan]

I stop before the second crack to avoid bitterness.

This roast turned out brown with a little dark, same beans. That second crack follows the end of the first crack so quickly, I'll turn down the heat even more, maybe as soon as I hear the first crack, to draw out that last time of roasting.

I have been drinking literally a pot of Starbucks every day for months. I'd like to try a non bitter brew.

Now smoking year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

All of them are made by C&D.

Best of the Rest English in a Savinelli Manzoni.

 

[JimInks]

Did a little snacking, and am going back to work with a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. ce water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem. I did finish work, though.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Time to check on the ferals, and read baseball box scores.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way though this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I'll probably end the day with this smoke.

Good Morning!
I just finished the leftover GLP Kensington from my middle of the night insomnia. It's nice to have some DGT to keep me company while doing chores! First fresh pipe today is GLP Charring Cross in an Apple Diplomat along with coffee.

 

[Balisong]

I'll turn down the heat even more, maybe as soon as I hear the first crack, to draw out that last time of roasting.

The temperature of the roasting vessel is very important, I set my rotisserie to 440° and roast for twenty minutes after it reaches temperature. There should be a sizable lag time between the first abd second crack. You can do a search for "coffee roast level chart" to get some visual ideas. I think Sweet Marias has some instruction pages, and you can search YouTube for info on your roasting method.

Good morning,
Starting my day with a Caminetto billiard with Stanwell vanilla and and a Martinson k-cup. I won a couple of tobacco auctions last night.
Charley, the best coffee beans I ever had are pure 100% Kona beans from Hawaii, very pricey!

Starting my weekend off with some Early Morning Pipe in a Brebbia Avanti Dark Canadian. Cup of strong, black coffee on the side.
