BIA in a J Davis Pot, I think I like his blast style better than anyone’s. Very JT who mentored him early on. Nice to do a little lifting in the morning then go outside for a smoke when I’m good and warmed up. Cold here in NC! 🥶😂
Braving the cold, just cause I like being out with Ethel the cat. I cannot remember the last time I finished a tin of English but I’m reaching the bottom of this From Beyond! Will buy more, next drop. Eltang Apple is the pipe of choice.
Had one pipe outside and then moved to the mancave. Too damn cold! 😂 BIA is a great winter blend, no Latakia but as complex and rich as any English/Balkan. Stubby Asteriou Author is the pipe of choice this morning! Cheers y’all!
From Beyond has really become a favorite of mine. I’ve had to smoke a good number of bowls before really appreciating the expert blending. The 2019 Izmir and Perique are placed perfectly to keep the Latakia right in the middle where it should be. A Vaper lovers English for sure. I’m smoking...
Next English, a special tin cracking for the holiday. I think I have about 15 tins, planning on one a year over TG or XMAS.
Eccentric by Per Jensen in a Herbaugh pot, great pipe for Englishes!
I’d only bought a single tin of HH Balkan to try in 2023, wish I’d gotten a couple more. Anyway, trying to introduce some English over the holiday, HH Balkan in a Herbaugh pot.
BIA in my Eltang Apple blast with horn. Fantastic smoker I got from Novelli: online sale of pens, pipes, lighters and accessories - https://www.novelli.it/en/ earlier this year. They carry some cool stuff.
My only Castello, finishing up a bowl of BIA, I tend to use this as my errand pipe since acrylic handles sunlight ok, and the sea rock finish can handle a bit of abuse 😂
