What are you smoking?

2010 Pebblecut in my old Churchill. I picked up this old gem several years ago for less than $20 and it smokes like a dream. Flake Virginias really shine when smoked in this pipe. Wish Churchill still made pipes of this quality.

AJ, great find for less then $20.00. You don't have to spend BIG BUCKS to get a superb smoking pipe

My recent restoration of a Yello-Bole Imperial from the 50's I paid $4.50 delivered with no stem is great for Flake blends. I hand cut a piece of Ebonite Lovat style and the pipe made it to my daily rotation for a while. It's an outstanding smoker, whatever blend I feed it....lol
I've posted pictures of this pipe prior.

Now going to smoke: a blend of John Patton's Crossroads & 10.5 year aged Carter Hall. They rested together in a 4oz. Mason jar for 3 months. Should be an interesting smoke.

Pipe of choice: MM Diplomat Pipe
On the side is a Mug of natural cinnamon coffee.

UPDATE... very good smoke with a bit more complexity due to the cocoa flavor from the aged Carter Hall. Need to make two more jars!!


KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
