***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
Afternoon smoke as planned, Amphora Absolute in a medium size pipe, the Ropp J07. This is a stellar pipe that has displayed an aptness for revealing subtleties in Orientals, so it was a no brainer for pipe selection. Because of its responsiveness it only gets stuffed with Orientals. I guess...- gord

Your description of Charlatan Black Flake in your exposition, gets my vote as the best thoughts on a tobacco that Ive yet seen in the Forum. As they'd scream in the concert hall, "Bravo1 Bravo!" Well done indeed!- gord

This day began with the scene you see below. It's really ugly out there - Nineteen below zero Celcius. Bitter cold. I'm feeling a bit better today. My back is better within it's limits, and my eczema outbreak is now under control. All this being given, I'd like to tell you a few stories right...- gord

Morning smokes, as I like them. Mad Fiddler in the McQueen Barrel Rider Miniature, and Black Frigate in the Ropp J05. Both dedicated to the respective fodder, and the match is perfect. Get my best smokes with these two matchups - pipes and tobacco love each other. Both pipes are a little...- gord

Evening Project - Finding a new Codger. I have two favourite aro-codgers. Anise infused Sir Walter tops the list, and then my old standby, Smokers' Pride Whiskey. Tried a pack of Borkum Riff Black Cavendish, which is somewhat sweetish, derived from an infusion of plum. Smoked it in the McQueen...- gord

Catching up - late morning smoke. When I bought the meer-lined Falcon bowl I had some misgivings and apprehensions, but not now. Dedicated to rum tobaccos, this bowl gives me the best smokes I've ever had from Backwoods Buttered Rum, my favourite of the breed, than in any pipe other pipe I've...- gord

The McQueen miniatures are uniformly 3/4" deep and 14mm in diameter. My Ropp J05 (miniature tall bowl) has a chamber depth of 1.45 " and diameter of .65" My Ropp J16 has a chamber depth of 1.17" and diameter of .70" These are normal for my usual smokes. My J07 is a bit larger, but don't have...- gord

Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated. Yeah, it's a recurring problem, either back or hip. I haven't had cartilage in my knees for about 14 years - I used to be a pretty good athlete, hockey/soccer, and at 5'7" and 133 pounds as a highschool graduate, you can imagine what I played...- gord

Miserable couple of days. Another blizzard, a slip on the snow and a dislocated hip. Can sit down now on my hard computer chair so here's catching up on my piping over the last few days. 1. All my pipes are now broken in, dedicated to a particular tobacco or genre, and timed with respect to...- gord

Thank you so much for a most interesting and enlightening reply. I'm half English myself, but know relatively little about history, British, Polish, European, American or Canadian- a big gap in my knowledge and sometimes a source of flippancy. Salut.- gord

Smokes from yesterday morningi and evening. Top pipe is my Ropp J16 smoked with its dedicated Mad Fiddler in the am, and bottom is my heritage Ropp 350, which just loves Pirate Kake, which is fine by me because by that time it was the only tobacco I wanted cause I was due for a wimpy lat copout...- gord

Some beautiful architecture over there in Scotland. Wonderful old church. We don't have that kind of history in Prince George BC, mostly pedestrian functional, and a few historic albeit small, landmarks. Current buildings are Soviet gulag style Vladivostok apartments, and square box mall stuff...- gord
