    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    Smoking another bowl of Smoker Friendly's Bourbon. Two bowls in a row. The pipe? Another Blatter & Blatter - this time an Oom Paul.

    At Blatter & Blatter, of course! 😍 They are just a few miles from me but they are downtown, which is a nightmare to navigate. I really owe them a visit. I have 5 Blatters. They are all good lookers and all smoke like a charm.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    At bat is Smoker Friendly's Bourbon blend - another of the five Smoker Friendly blends my crazy cousin bought me in honor of my vacation to Maine. This one too hits a homerun. What a delightful smoke! Smooooth with ZERO tongue bite. Though I have no idea what I am tasting (O Sultan, where...

    Smoking another bowl of Smoker Friendly's Sweet Natural. Two bowls in a row. What a fantastic tobacco this is! The pipe is a Blatter & Blatter, one red dot. It is stamped MPSC - Montreal Pipe Smokers' Club

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    Smoking some incredible new (to me) tobacco: Smoker Friendly's Sweet Natural. An incredible smoke. You have to try it to believe it. @Briar Lee has a good review of it. See Sweet Natural by Smoker Friendly :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews -...

    Sweet Natural by Smoker Friendly

    Smoking my first bowl of Smoker Friendly's Sweet Natural. I got it by luck. I was just down for a vacation in Maine and my cousin wanted to surprise me with some tobacco and chose this by chance. The shop owner at Cigaret Shopper told her this was one of her favorites. Now, I am primarily a...

    Now smoking some Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Twist Flake - a straight Virginia. How did I get here??? I must have read some glowing reviews of this stuff on the net. Have to say, it ain't bad! The pipe is from the Ser Jacopo Delecta Series. I successfully packed it in the fold & stuff method.

    That last bowl of Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll was so good, why not another? This time in a bent Stanwell. The bowl is half sandblasted and half smooth. Very attractive in real life.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some of the blend that started it all: Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll. This tobacco is luxury, pure luxury. I was always worried about going to it too often and running out, so I bought a pound of it and now smoke it without worry whenever I feel like it. Unfortunately, I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    So, I am doing a reprise of Peter Stokkebye's Optimum N. 63. The last try was disrupted by me dropping the lit pipe all over me and the keyboard. I was really enjoying that smoke before my reenactment of the firebombing of Dresden. So here we go again. A different pipe this time. Another...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Batter up! Next at the plate is Peter Stokkebye's Optimum No. 31. Pardon me if I seem a little addled right now. I just dropped the lit pipe onto myself and onto the computer keyboard. Quite a mess! A tobacco as good as this deserves better. Smoking it in a Blatter & Blatter (Montreal)...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some of Sutliff's Queen Anne's Revenge. The pipe? A Blatter & Blatter Oom Paul, signed by Patrick Blatter. One white dot and one red dot. This smoke is so mellow and smooth. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, there is no sign of any tongue bite. 😉

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Up at bat ... Captain Black white - a much maligned, much praised tobacco. Funny how people have such totally different experiences with various tobaccos. To assemble a coherent "review of the literature" on a particular tobacco is maddening. Smoking this in a Blatter & Blatter (Montreal)...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now in the pipe is Solani Aged Burley Flake ... yes, I am smoking a non-dessert blend! Used the fold and stuff method of packing the pipe. I've had this tin of tobacco around for over 10 years. I had to rehydrate, so I used those little, aluminum, moisturizing coins. The result was quite...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some C&D Autumn Evening and what a nice tobacco it is! A smooth and cool smoke. The pipe is a churchwarden which is stamped "Screwball" and "Product of Italy". I don't have a pic of this one yet. I'll have to get on that task.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some tobacco from Sutliff's Private Stock - Maple Street. A very smoooth and cool smoke. The pipe is "cool" too: A Radford's 1995 Limited Edition Pipe of the Year. A great tobacco, a handsome pipe, and an all-around good experience. Takes a 9mm filter.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some Taste of Summer (How appropriate!) from Sutliff's Private Stock. The tin says "Delicious Peaches with Refreshing Cream". The pipe is a Don Gustavo smooth fiery black full bent, saddle stem, with 9 mm filter.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some Lane's Black Raspberry in a small calabash. I can actually taste the berries! This is the first time I can really taste something specific in a tobacco. All this time I was thinking @Jimlnks was making up all those flavors. LOL Another few years and I might start to taste...

    Smoking some Mac Baren's 7 Seas Black in a Kaywoodie very bent. No complaints here!

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Now smoking some C&D Apricots and Cream (after having my tongue burnt off with Mac Baren's Black Ambrosia). Went from that BA forest fire to this nice, smooth, cool smoke. The tongue bite didn't pick up where the BA left off. Maybe the AC has soothing qualities? Anyway, I have about 20 oz...
