***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

[tubbyninja1337]

Smoking a mixed bowl of two flakes, ODf / Capstan Blue, in a 1960 EK shell canadian—along with a mug of coffee.

Right on, how did you like the mixture of ODF and Capstan Blue?

Late morning bowl of Bijou in a poker my brother made me. Hoskinson Handmade. This thing makes red Va blends sing. Listening to the birds with this and the rest of the morning coffee. Front porch bliss.

A couple days ago I enjoyed Watch City's Old Dominion in a Savinelli 2024 Saint Nicholas billiard, while doing a little shortwave radio listening. Yet to determine what today's smoke will be, but it sure is nice out, so I'll be setting up shop outside soon.

I'm crap at loading pics

I get the photo problem, but from a different perspective. I'm a avid photographer, and a Linux user. My photographs are all taken with either a B&W 4x5, (I still shoot mostly film and develop it in a darkroom believe it or not) or a 24mp DSLR which is color balanced for my Canon Pixma-1 Pro printer for exhibition prints. The color profile on my DSLRs are balanced with my Pixma, and I'm not going to alter it for a forum posting, so most of the pics I post suck.

The simple answer is to use a cellphone, which takes care of all that. However, (and no, I'm not a luddite and am actually pretty tech savvy) I HATE AND LOATH cellphones, and have only a 3G Blackberry Passport of O'bama years vintage, and operate it only when I have to and only on talk and text. Why? Just take a look at the kids on the street, glued to those obnoxious devices.

In my continued exploration of new (to me) and delicious pipe tobacco blends I finally pulled the trigger on a few KBV blends.

Therefore, on today's menu is a generous helping of Burley Morning Pipe loaded in my bent falcon with a chimney meer paired with a nespresso and a delightfully black coffee.

If my memory serves, it was @Chasing Embers who inspired me to pick up this bowl/falcon combination. I'm still working on slowing down my cadence but I've really been enjoying it. Thanks man!

Yeah, CE has been a big help to a lot of us. His most important post statement that had a big effect on me is when he said recently (paraphrase) " . . . . I've never found a tobacco that wasn't worth smoking." Wise indeed, and I've endeavoured to put my ego-based opinions aside, and follow this advice. A thanks from me, too, Cap!

Just smoked some G&H aromatic dark flake in a small Peterson poker.
I find it harsher than I used too same as the Dark Flake . It's ok in a smaller pipe tho .

Trying Sutliff Revelation Match in my Dr Grabow Omega. I swear, every variant of this blend I’ve tried has presented so differently that I might not have guessed they all had the same inspiration. But it smells nice in the tin and isn’t bad to smoke. It certainly stays lit nicely.



More notes: this seems more burley-forward than HOW Revelation or other match blends I’ve tried, but that could be faulty memories at play, or the luck of the draw when filling this pipe. I look forward to more bowls of this stuff

After some yard work, it was Lane RLP-6 In a Peterson System Standard, 1942 - 1946 pre Republic era.

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful sunny day, chatted with the neighbors with Tomato the Brave by my side, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.

John Patton Oriental Dusk in a 673 and coffee. Decent stuff. I can see this being in the afternoon rotation when it warms up.

Is that the Oscar Tiger that came up on SP last week? if so, nice catch!!

I’ll join the OJK in a meer club. I love this little meer: great for shorter smokes.
