***What Are You Smoking, December 2021?***
Got myself a vibe going. The churchwarden is a Molina. All that’s left is to happen into a stack of cash and buy a Vauen Auenland. It’s on the list, but for now I’m good. Merry Christmas, friends!- WildTurkeySurprise

***What Are You Smoking, December 2021?***
Packed my Peterson Carroll of Carrollton with the enigmatic C&D Joie de Vivre. I love this pipe, but the tobacco is a weird one for me. I still get the pronounced tin note of chicken litter, but it smokes mild. It’s all I can think about while I smoke this blend. I am glad the chamber is small lol- WildTurkeySurprise

It says Hemplight on the other side. They’re $13ish for a pair of them on Amazon. Comes with a ball of hemp wick. Handy little item!- WildTurkeySurprise

Meerschaum Pipe Display at Oz Arts, Nashville TN
Please forgive the shoddy photography, as I didn’t have sharing them in mind when these pics were taken. The post about the $40k pipe reminded me that I attended an event awhile back at Oz Arts in Nashville, and this display happened to be just inside the entrance of the building, so I snapped a...- WildTurkeySurprise

How do you Choose What to Smoke?
I have pint and half-pint jars: a dozen jars per carton, three cartons of each size, loaded with tobaccos across the entire spectrum, and if I don’t have one in mind beforehand, I’ll pick a carton and decide from those twelve. Also, if I open a new tin, I’ll lean on it pretty heavy for awhile.- WildTurkeySurprise

Pipe Smoking: A Thinking Man's Hobby or a Respite from Mental Chatter?
This comment is helpful, as was your “leisure time” one above that I overlooked initially. I apologize for that. I am reminded it is not for me to judge what others take exception to. In this particular case it was truly a mystery to me, and I wanted to figure it out. While the term “hobby” is...- WildTurkeySurprise

Pipe Smoking: A Thinking Man's Hobby or a Respite from Mental Chatter?
I took your advice and reread each comment. While several people said it isn’t a hobby to them, others declared it isn’t a hobby at all, but NONE of those people explicitly said what excludes it from being a hobby or why. Someone asked for the source of OP’s “crap definition” two different times...- WildTurkeySurprise

Pipe Smoking: A Thinking Man's Hobby or a Respite from Mental Chatter?
I find this fascinating. Given its definition, what are y’all identifying about smoking a pipe that EXCLUDES it from being a hobby for you? I want to understand this, but I don’t yet. While some of you are simply saying, “I don’t view it as a hobby,” I am asking for someone to go further by...- WildTurkeySurprise

Pipe Smoking: A Thinking Man's Hobby or a Respite from Mental Chatter?
The Oxford Dictionary of English reads plainly enough. I don’t understand the sensitivity on here surrounding the word, and I can’t find a single part of this definition that doesn’t fit perfectly with smoking a pipe. What gives?- WildTurkeySurprise

What Blend did your Grandfather Smoke?
My grandfather smoked Prince Albert. His father smoked Sir Walter Raleigh, and I have been told they often teased each other over their differing tastes in tobacco. I happen to side with my great-grandfather in preferring SWR over PA.- WildTurkeySurprise

***What Are You Smoking, November 2021?***
More comfortable to hold. And hold it, I must; clenching these clays makes my teeth feel funny. I have the Williamsburg version as well, and I did it with each. Super easy with hemp wick: just wrap it tight and it’s done. No knots, no adhesive, it stays put on its own.- WildTurkeySurprise
