What Are You Smoking Pages.

Spent some time trying to deghost a meer and a briar, and have less than a third of a bowl left of year 2012 Carter Hall in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 437/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. That'll do it for me today.

'Geiaaa.. (is the Hello in Greek but in a bit of macho style), we have sun with few clouds and 76 'F here in Athens.

Danish Vanilla Hausmarke.

Good morning,
Smoking a Brebbia bent brandy with Russ` pirates cove and a freshly perked mug of Community coffee. I won 3 of my tobacco auctions on Cigarbid last night!

Smoking some Country Squire Faulkner Flake in a briarbird poker this morning.

 

[lgoldberg]

That tobacco has some involved T&Cs

Good morning gents and a happy Sunday to all. Up early since I have to be at the Legion by 8 to help serve breakfast. Smoking my own Tumbleweed in a Calabresi bent brandy with a big mug of Costa Rican coffee. Very quiet and peaceful on the mountain this morning. Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning!
Got the chores done and started some GH Balkan Mixture along with coffee. I watered and helped a neighbor while finishing that bowl. Time for a second cup of coffee and GH DVC in today's pipe,

GH Balkan Mixture in a Vauen Oak.

Really getting hooked on this stuff.

I find it easy going and pairs well with water, coffee or hard cider. Come to think of it it's even good without a nearby beverage. DVC has the same attributes along with a background sweetness. The Virginia's in the sampler were much stronger and work better after a hardy dinner than as an appetizer!

Half way through this bowl of early 2000s 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. Fed my cats, and went outside to feed Daisy the Feral Princess, but Tomato the Brave is hiding somewhere as he always does when it rains. He'll show up eventually. No walking reps for me today.

I have a lot to thank Neil for in this picture, the Rouxgaroux in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum, and the Sor studies fingered by Segovia, I've learned eight of them. It just came together this morning, thanks @WarneOut!

 

[Swede]

Roasting Ethiopian dry processed coffee and having a bowl of Amphora original in an MM beatup old reliable cob-model not remembered. This cob is 6 plus years old and left under a BBQ grill cover for 4 or so years and still smokes decently, so gotta admire it.

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of KBV Prince of Wales in a straight smooth terracotta 2014 Sherlock Holmes Baker Street bulldog with sterling silver band and a tapered black p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. It smokes as great as it looks.

Wow! Jim, that is a very cool looking pipe! I really like it sir!

Watching the Indy 500 with GLP Kensington and a Woodchuck Hard Cider. I needed this down time!

 

[ralphmcculley]

I'm smoking an old 1970s Willard with a nice bowl of some aged Rattrays Marlin Flake.

 

[JimInks]

Approaching the last quarter of this bowl of 1980s Von Eicken’s Dark Flake Navy Cut in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Wow! Jim, that is a very cool looking pipe! I really like it sir!

Thanks. I love it.

Awesome! I'm glad my suggestion was able to be of some use to you. It really is great material.

Yup, I totally agree. GH Balkan Mixture is so smooth on the palate, I can smoke it any time of day, beverage or not.
And for me, strikes just the right balance of Latakia. Very present, without being suffocating.

DVC is a little harder on my mouth, but I have a high sensitivity to certain bright Virginias. I'm hoping a little age will tone down that effect on me.
