***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

[JimInks]

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. I'll end the day with this smoke.

I must of had a catastrophe at work to miss this, amazing work! You read the grain like a virtuoso, right shape for that beautiful flame grain. I hope that when I retire I can set up shop and do the same thing or something in woodworking.

@Zero , Thank you kindly! The grain in this briar pops for sure. It is a beautiful piece of wood that really deserved to be shaped by hands more skilled than mine. But I gave it my best shot and am happy with the results.

 

[Latakia Dave]

Beautiful inspiration sir! Interesting are the thoughts that guide the choice to leave a piece unaltered, a way of saying "why upset it"?

@Ag®o , you get me sir! That was exactly what kept running through my thoughts every time I looked at this particular piece of briar! Thanks brother...

Schedule jacked up, posting erratic. Rest assured I've been enjoying Pegasus, HH Pure Virginia, and HH BurleyFlake.
Good luck with all things medical @PiedmontPipe.

EMP in a Jeantet super Olympic again.
I’m in a situation where I have to run with what I brung. It’s going to be EMP in one of three pipes for the next few days.
Not much of a hardship since I really enjoy EMP.

2019 English Chocolate this morning with work.

 

[Carol]

I think you can bring 7oz of tobacco or 200 cigarettes.

I only brought one tin of EMP with me this time so that’s what I’ll be smoking all week.

Thank you.

Linda prepared homemade vegetable soup for dinner, and a cooked chocolate pudding for dessert. After this hearty meal, I stuffed a flake of ten-year-old Full Virginia Flake into a small clay for a post prandial smoke.
As Nero Wolfe might say, "Most Satisfactory."

@dino So you're taking after me then??? I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake in my clay pipes.

Third generation 3 Star Lee Pot loaded with G&H Brown Flake Scented aged for an extra year. This Lee is an excellent smoker and the Brown Flake has plenty of room to inflows in the pot shaped bowl. Thank you @Briar Lee

Anthony says that the Condor packet I found while litter picking was mine and that I dropped it; I'd never do anything like that
Seen James again today; he let me have a pipeful of Clan to smoke in my clay pipes.

Good day all! A good day indeed, as my wife and I just climbed out of the "safe room" where we weathered the past hour and a half under three tornando warnings of the "imminent take cover" variety. Good practice for living in Florida. Celebrating the return of blue sky and bright sun by starting with Elizabethan Mixture in an Upshall P Dublin with smooth beveled rim and pencil shank with tapered stem.

Had my first smoke of golden extra yesterday in a short pot shaped Duncan. Second smoke today in a svaunelli bruna shape 106.
