What Are You Smoking Pages.

Dismantling the washer and setting my stand pipe, only way to get it up the stairs from the basement. The stairs were rebuild after the washer was installed, 2 inches narrower. Nothing a reciprocating saw and wrenches won't fix. Having some MM150th in my Horn-meer, it's very good in this pipe.

The junkyard cob glued together from spare parts from another build. Good smoker with PA. On the porch with black coffee watching it rain. View attachment 20178

Looks great, Dreamer. No one would ever know.

I'm enjoying KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with saddle stem. I'm drinking Folger's Colombian and reading a book. Recently I modified my Zippo with a metal seal/gasket and I'm very happy with results. My fuel evaporates much more slowly now, and the flame is consistantly good.

Refilled with Sutliff Rum & Maple and now drinking an iced beverage.

The dentist probably warned you against things like drinking through a straw as the area builds a clot and heals. I’d guess when it may be ok to smoke a pipe after that period.

Yeah, he said not to use a straw for a week. Grr.

Last pipe was on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday were my travel days for work, so no pipe time then. Yesterday I took the day off to get a tooth pulled. The dentist didn't say anything about resuming the pipe, but I'm a little leery about it today. Any words of advice from my fellow bobs?

IG, last year I had major dental surgery. Pulled 2 teeth on each side of the upper jaw due to bone loss. Then 2 bone grafts and 2 crown implants. Smoked during the whole process with no apparent repercussions. Give it a day to heal and you should be fine.

Yeah, he said not to use a straw for a week. Grr.

The straw thing is to prevent strong suction from pulling out the clot. So gentle puffing might be ok.

Good morning BoBs. Breaking in the new Lorenzo with some CH. Smoking fine so far. Think it will be just as good as the other two. Surprised it came yesterday. Wasn't expecting it for a couple more weeks. Pretty fast service from Serbia. Aussiemike, true the little buggers don't bite but they are annoying as hell, especially when they fly up your nose or get in your hair. Really hate the little *******s. Light day today. Out to the ranch to check on the boys then back home to relax. Have a great day laddies.

How's that seal work and is it homemade? I've used coatings on the inner part of mine to some success.

I found this on Amazon:

Lighter Gasket Seal, Metal Repair Kit with Cotton Felt Pad, Anti-Evaporation Accessories for Lighter Insert, Silver​

It’s easy to install. Just 3 days of use, but so far, so good.

I've bought several "upgrades" to my Zippos and mostly they're in a drawer somewhere; glad yours is working for you. I went back to a butane insert in my everyday carry.

Time now for some home-mixed English blend in a little unnamed author

Filled my big Lorenzetti with Byzantium for a change. It's bee a while since I smoked this pipe. Zubr ale on the side, heading for another day with a 40C humidex.

Half way through this bowl of pre-2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Dodgers-Tigers game.

Could be worse I could be helping you mate I am a walking disaster when it comes to that stuff but I do love hard work I could watch it all day

I'm smoking MB HH Pure Virginia and finishing a cup of coffee while watching the IndyNXT race. @JimInks packed this in Archie and Billy's luggage when we picked them up!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2000 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink. Watching the Dodgers-Tigers game.

Sam the Scamp was scared and hid for a couple of days in her new home before she came out to socialize with her new owner. I'm not surprised by that since her bond with m'lady and especially yours truly was so strong. That's not an unusual chain of events for rehomed cats. Anyway, Sam came out to play and seems happy now. We miss her greatly, but we are immensely pleased that she has a safe and loving home. Here she is with her new owner:

Best kind of contraband to have, buddy!

I'm watching the qualifying session for tonight and tomorrow's IndyCar race. I just filled a Rob Roy with GLP Westminster and refreshed my glass of Moscato wine.

Nearing the half way mark of this bowl of 1970s Heine's Blend in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown short shank Made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. First time smoking this pipe, which I picked because this version of Heinie's Blend had deer tongue in it. I didn't want to ghost my Grabows.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking from a freshly opened tin of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in an early 20th century Gordon Special Bruyere 49 apple with a triangular shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is a great, under the radar smoker. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Orioles-Yankees game.

I should have added YMMV.

Now smoking first release Watch City Rhythm & Blues in an undated straight smooth brown Crosby Saint Andrews “Merchant Service-like Bing” with a silverish band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.
