What Are You Smoking Pages.

Just finished smoking year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Before that, I caught up on some sleep.

 

[JimInks]

Can you see me grinning through the screen? Lol.

Yeah, man. Glad to oblige.

Looks like William Conrad liked the lovat styles.

His Charatan collection was around 660. He also owned GBDs, Petersons (including a natural silver spigot pot I wish I owned), Dunhills, etc. His tastes are varied in regard to pipe shapes.

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem. Watching the Braves-Cards game.

Last smoke of the day,Pete Rocky Donegal XL90 with Sutliff dark decadence and a decaf k-cup. Sent out 3 of my pipes out for repair/refurbishing. That Randy Wiley with the broken acrylic stem,I could not fix, 2 Bari wiking`s with bit thru stems as well- the life of a clencher...

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 109 Medium Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

That is quite the set of Dunhills!

Sounds like William Conrad had a PAD too. That Pete Natural Spigot must have been a show stopper.

First, let me say I’m not an aromatic fan at all. But, every once in a while I’ve got to try something that everyone seems to enjoy. Cult Blood Red Moon. Tasted like the smell of a urinal cake. Life is too short to smoke that tobacco.

Papa. Agree with you. Do not get the rave reviews of CBRM. I found it rather harsh. If you want to experiment with aros, may I suggest 4 Noggins Hobbits Weed, a mild cherry aro, or CS Rivendell, probably the best aro I ever smoked.

Had a nice sirloin steak dinner. Now enjoying Benediction in an Aldo Velani 2012 POTY 1/4 bent straight grain dublin with silver band. Left over Napa Reserve merlot on the side. Very peaceful tonight.

Smoking a Vauen bent pot with MB navy flake and a Mc Cafe k-cup.It must be Kaywoodie week. I am expecting a 50`s super grain Dublin to arrive tomorrow.

I’ve always liked the slight cinnamon flavor in Mac Baren Navy Flake. You have to sip it slowly before you notice it. Yum.

Peace in a chaotic world is always nice. Enjoy.

Just looked at JimInk’s review on Rivendell. Sounds really good. Thanks for the heads up on the blend.

It is. I'd love to have one, but they are over $400, so that leaves me out.

Just finished smoking SWRA in a straight, black sandblasted undated Comoy’s Sunrise Etched Grain straight apple 551 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Boswell J.M.s Private Stock in a Peterson 314.

A third of the way through this bowl of C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. I don't know who originally bought this pipe almost a hundred years back, but it was never smoked much. Time to brew some Community Coffee, which I haven't had the last few days because of all the humidity.

Beautiful Canadian. I bet that old fella smokes like a champ!

Smoking a GBD Canadian with Lane RLP-6 and the last of my coffee.

Granger again in a MM bent diplomat apple. This may be becoming my preferred codger blend.

 

[Ranger107]

CS Figgy Pudding in a Don Carlos bent brandy with dark roast Costa Rican coffee. I believe I'm totally recovered from covid. Wife still has minor symptoms but temps normal for last 3 days.

 

[EZONSLOW]

Smoking a Kaywoodie super grain Dublin with MB 7 seas regular blend,This pipe smokes well but its very small ? This pipe is barely 4.5 inches long,maybe good for a short smoke,maybe 15 minutes tops. It almost looks like a toy.
