What are you smoking?

[JimInks]

Starting off my smoking day with McClelland Tudor Castle Arcade in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tortoise shell stem, which I'm a quarter way through enjoying. A bottle of Boylan's Root Beer made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching From Russia With Love.

Now getting ready to smoke a pipe that's new to me:

John Patton's Storm Front aged just over 2 years

Pipe of choice: first voyage with me is this stunning Mark Tinsky 2012 BoB Forum POY. HOPE IT SMOKES WELL. Has a smaller diameter chamber than I usually prefer, but it's a CHUBBY piece of briar!!
THANK YOU BLACKHORSE  :cheers:  :cheers:

UPDATE: after only one smoke from this pipe I can honestly say...I'm totally surprised on how well this pipe smokes, even with a small diameter chamber. The bowl is a super thick CHUBBY type that stayed cool to the last puff, well done Mark!! That's why I wanted to smoke a blend I've smoked often. Some of my pipes are just okay smoking Storm Front while others are good or even great. This is one of those rare moments I can actually say..." This Mark Tinsky pipe is a SUPERB SMOKER "! It brought out a much more complex smoke with an extremely creamier finish. This pipe is definitely one of my top FIVE superb smoking pipes! So, is Mark a member of this forum? Possibly under another name, I've wondered for a while now. I have an idea who, but does anyone know for sure??
