What Are You Smoking Pages.

re: Lee van Cleef meers; I rather enjoy mine. As we all know, pipes may look alike but that doesn't mean they smoke the same.

Yep, mine looked good, smoked okay, but had thin walls and the bowl would get very hot. After smoking for maybe 5 minutes the bowl would get so hot I couldn't even hold the pipe. Never had a meer get hot before. So I exchanged it for the carved apple.

Yeah, that would cause problems, sounds like poor quality control there. Ceramic and clay pipes all have the same problem (or at least the ones I've tried have).

Good morning everyone. Starting my day with Hobbits Weed in a Sav Hercules 606EX. With CR coffee. A balmy 40 this morning. Predicting a high of 65. Should be a nice day.

 

[EZONSLOW]

Smoking a Pete Watson with Captain black gold and the last of my mornings coffee.

 

[Ranger107]

Second bowl is my second bowl of CH in the new Pete Pub. 3rd mug of coffee. Need to order more CH. Down to my last couple of ozs. Even without breaking in its an 8.0 on the Zenometer.

Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2016 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 in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

A beautiful 51° and sunny day here in Virginia. Woke up early and hung out with the birds and squirrels as I enjoyed GH&Co Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Southport Ferryman. Second pipe was HH Old Dark Fired in a Diplomat Apple. And the third pipe was GH&Co Rum Flake in the Patriot. The trio…

GH&Co Brown Flake (Unscented) in a Vauen bent pot. Very impressed by every offering from this company so far.

Like Sturdy, also enjoying the company of some local squirrels on the patio.

Good evening my fellow BoBs and friends. Been a very busy day for me today, starting with a morning trip to the hospital for my tri monthly scans. Then off to the Thursday antique Market to have a snoop round.
A spot of lunch at one of Mrs Zs fave restaurants. Then back home. All without a single smoke . But Mrs Z has now got me into my den. So going to make up for it now by plugging a MM Country Gent with some awesome Hobbit Weed. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. A perfect marriage of pipe and leaf. Thank you Ranger my friend, for gifting me my taste of Heaven.
Have a great day everybody

KBV Golf Fore Glory in a Peterson 302 rusticated. I'm enjoying this pipe and p-lip and intend to another shape in the system line but older. I'm trying the Peterson packing method per

How are you finding the Peterson packing method? Most of my pipes are Petersons, but I have never tried (or heard of) this method. I will have to give it a go

Been awhile since I visited the site, but I stumbled upon the link when looking through my bookmarks. While I don't smoke my pipes nearly as often as I once did (back in the Stokers Haven days), today's walk this morning out at the park included a very enjoyable smoke in the meerschaum poker (Stokers Haven 2004) with some 20 year old GLP CumberlandX. I don't recall what necessitated the strikeout and distinction between this blend and the original GLP Cumberland, but it was a great smoke when it was originally bought and is even better with 20 years of age on it. Including a YouTube link to a video I took at my sittin' spot this morning (apologies if that violates any rules--please remove link if it does) and pipe and tobacco pics.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am having my first smoke of Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz in a 1960s Austrian meerschaum bent apple with a tapered yellow stem. Working on a review of this blend.

I took a Pride filled with GH Balkan Mixture on the trip to pickup my baby chickens, got to break them in early. I just packed Peretti Tashkent into a different Pride for the grocery trip!

 

[WarneOut]

Now onto GH&Co Kendal Dark in a Vauen pot. The shag cut reminds me of smoking Bali Shag RYOs as a teenager. In a good way

I like it and see improvements

Great. I'm having a break from the pipe for a few weeks. Will try it when I take up one of Petersons next.

Now smoking Seattle Pipe Club Virginia Jazz in a smooth medium brown medium bend 1950s B.B.B. Own Make 307 apple with a sterling silver band and black vulcanite saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while, but it's a great smoker as all old BBBs are. Working on a review of this blend.

 

[WarneOut]

Enjoying a tranquil bowl of GH&Co Dark Flake Aromatic while watching the rainstorm here in sunny California.

A pleasant smoke, but I was hoping for more Lakeland flavor. I wonder if anyone might point me toward the most Lakeland heavy blend available on the market? Seems I can't get enough of the stuff.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Erik Stokkebye Resolution 4th Generation Small Batch in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.
