What Are You Smoking Pages.

Just started my late afternoon Rob Roy filled with GLP Kensington, I still need to roast coffee or I'm stuck with tea tomorrow morning. The wife is making chicken broth and just started cooking down some apples for homemade applesauce, the house smells fantastic, I wonder how the smell of the roasting coffee will change it!

I get the impression that you are a big fan of cobs. I've had two of the straight Legends, but I don't like their limited bowl capacity.

In my early pipe days I smoked 1Q and found the bottom of the bowl had a fowl taste, the deeper the bowl the more dottle. When I came back to the pipes smaller bowls were a habit. I gravitated to cobs based on advice from a doctor/pipe smoker from back in the '80s, Rick Newcomb's recommendation of open draw, and, reading The Corncob Primer. I have a few Patriots which have a deeper bowl and the Charles Towner. They're all good pipes especially since I smoke mainly English/Balkan blends and let them dry out before loading a pipe. Enjoy the Southport Ferryman!

Warmed up to a reasonable 42 now. Snow melting off on the roads but hills are still white. Some new to me CS Old Toby in a Molina bent apple. Not bad but a bit bland. Think I'll stick with Rivendell and Choctaw.

About a quarter of a bowl left of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Smoking a Bari Wiking extra long bent Rhodesian,with Russ`s pirates cove and a Hortons k-cup. Possibly the last smoke of the day.

Just finished dinner, leftover chicken and roasted squash, and I'm ready to enjoy Star of the East Gold in a Diplomat.

After a so so dinner of left over meat loaf, frozen mixed veggies, and instant noodles, with a 5 day old cookie for dessert, enjoying some SPC Mississippi River Special Reserve in a Design Berlin bent apple sans filter. Porto wine to pair. Last bowl for me. Temps dropping so time to settle in by the fireplace. Goodnight BoBs.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've just over a quarter of a bowl left of year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam billiard 27 Canadian patent 341422 with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[Balisong]

I just filled a Rob Roy with Kensington and cracked open an Angry Orchard Crisp Apple hard cider to enjoy until bedtime.
Good Night All!

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Bali,

Thanks for the reply and the info. I, too am a fan of English blends. I look forward to giving them a shot in that new pipe.

Just sitting down to a Friday evening smoke in my new Savinelli Paloma 316. Going to start breaking her in with some GL Pease Abingdon

 

[EZONSLOW]

Good morning,
Smoking a Savinelli 616ks with MB 7 seas red blend and a Hotons k-cup. Chilly,but sunny 30 degrees here.

 

[Swede]

Sutliff 507-C in the little Algerian briar. I stuffed a bunch of strands folded in half abd the small chamber is handling them well.

 

[Balisong]

Good Morning!
I just finished a Rob Roy filled with Charatan Flake that I started when I woke up in the middle of the night. Now I'm smoking Pease Charring Cross in an MM Diplomat along with morning coffee. It's a nice sunny morning and today is forecast to be the calm before the storm.

 

[Ranger107]

Good morning everyone. Zippos fav Hobbits Weed in a Bjarne bent billiard. Big mug of Costa Rican coffee. 28 and sunny here. The calm after the storm that dumped 8 to 10 inches of snow on Wed. A lot has melted but most of the north facing hills are still white. Looking at a Calabresi pipe on Ebay. Anyone have experience with them? Appreciate any advice.

 

[EZONSLOW]

Smoking a Pete Deerstalker, Lane RLP-6 and a mug of Community coffee. It`s a sunny day here and the temp is up to 40 degrees,birds and squirrels everywhere,It seems like we are the only place in the neighborhood that puts food out for them...

Got our feeders back up yesterday afternoon. Birdies are flocking in like crazy this morning.

Another fav. CH in a MM general cob with my 3rd mug of coffee. May not finish this one. Gotta be at the dentist in an hour. Fortunately he is only 10 minutes away.
