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

[TheIronMonkey]

7 straight days playing golf in Biloxi. I won our little group tournament today by a substantial margin! Trophy and $500. Smoking a bowl of Sir John’s Flake Virginia in an Altinok on the trip home.

Very blustery day- rain, sleet, some snow and high winds. Heading to the garage with some MB ‘22 London Blend in the Peterson 102, Made in the Republic of Ireland. The espresso is a perfect accompaniment.

Laugh emoticon is for your words of wisdom under the photo. A cup of Lap and some devilled kidneys, with the necessary addition of a bit of hab sauce, sounds like it's right up my alley. Just like my taste for "hot curried" tobaccos. Think there is a relationship between the cuisine we like, and the tobaccos we favour?

Ah yes, I was of course quoting Mr. B, the Gentleman Rhymer. Likely not what you are expecting… a link if you dare?

Now smoking Wilke 10 Downing Street in an undated straight, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard billiard with a brown accent on the tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to do a little work on the three estate pipes that I did some bowl reaming on. The others are drying, and I'll see how much more that I have to do to them to get them clean later on.

Rewarding yourself for a job well done is often profitable, eh? Nice pipe! Cup is likewise frugal and suitable for the task. What kind of wood is that pipe made of?

Maybe Paul didn't see your question.
That Bones pipe is made of briar.
The story is that Chris found a huge lot of stummels from a French pipe manufacturer that closed years ago. Many of the stummels have pits and blemishes, and all are smaller bowls with short shanks.
Chris inspects them, touches them up when needs, then hand finishes pre-made stems for them.
Apparently there were thousands of rough finished factory made stummels that were decades old.

It’s Briar, nothing fancy, several pits but shaped well and paired with an acrylic stem. Fairly open draw and a Grp 3-ish size.

Dark Bird’s Eye in a Falcon, international bent stem, Dublin bowl.



The weekend storm gave us about 1/2” of ice and 14” of snow on top, so my son and I spent some quality time digging out the cars before the neighbor got here with his tractor-mounted snow blower. Fun times. Looking forward to spring!
