***What Are You Smoking, June 2020?***
May i don’t know when they changed the labeling. My dad got a taste for chicory coffee when he was in the military, and I went to buy some for him when he was visiting a while ago, and I ended up with another brand, since the New Orleans blend didn’t have the ground chicory added anymore.- marlinspike

Interestingly enough, the New Orleans Blend no longer has chicory in it (but they do still sell a coffee/chicory blend). Community even sells bags of ground chicory, if you want to blend some into whatever coffee you prefer.- marlinspike

Just slicing up some C & D Dreams of Kadath for today's first bowlful. This stuff smells quite peppery and raisiny - should make for an interesting pipe session!- marlinspike

Wilke Vermont Maple Cavendish in a MM Washington - this brand may have changed my mind about aromatic pipeweed! I've had this and 2 bowls of Wilke Gramercy, and enjoyed them both very much, along with their Cherry Cavendish (and have some Rumcake to try later). If I like Rumcake, that'll be 4...- marlinspike

Forever Stems Are Back!
Yes indeed. I was cutting down a bunch of tree limbs, and nearly crunched right through one of the black plastic bits (not that it would take much to do that!). I ought to know better, since I can barely do 2 actual things at once without losing concentration on one of them...- marlinspike

Journey of a Meerschaum
I always thought it would be groovy to have one of those smoking machines to color a new meerschaum.- marlinspike

Journey of a Meerschaum
Are you trying the old trick of exhaling smoke on the outside to help the coloring along? (I've never done that, though, not wanting to fiddle with it).- marlinspike

Forever Stems Are Back!
I've always resisted buying any aftermarket stems for any of my cob pipes, but recently I've damn near bitten through 2 different pipe stems while working out in the yard. :confused: I might replace 'em with the vulcanite stems, once they become available.- marlinspike

I am liking it - next up this evening is a bowl of Surbrug's Crystal Palace. I also like supporting a blender who's carrying on an American piping tradition. Do you know why John Brandt's no longer making Bohemian Mixture?- marlinspike

Did you put a finish on this pipe, or have you been smoking plenty of "stank"? (that's what my grandfather used to call any strong-smelling, oily pipe tobacco).- marlinspike

Second bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a MM unplastered Diplomat apple. I'm enjoying these Wilke blends...by the way, @jiminks , is "Wilke" pronounced with the final 'e' sounded ("wilk-ee"), or is it "Wilk" (rhymes with 'silk')? The No. 111 blend packs and burns like a champ - after a false light and...- marlinspike

That's why I asked the man who would know! puffy EDIT: Aha, I was reading these reviews, which cover a different variety of the blend: HU Tobacco - Aus dem Krater Nr. 5 (Kratermischung) - Tobacco Reviews - https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/10718/hu-tobacco-aus-dem-krater-nr-5- marlinspike

Some reviewers on TR.com state that this blend is the same, or a very close copy of the Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. Do you know if that's the case?- marlinspike

I just got a package of samplers from Wilke, and I do believe No. 111 will be up first in tonight's lineup, in a Savinelli 673.- marlinspike
