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

[keith929]

I feel both of your pain. I spent 7 years in downtown Chicago on the 6th floor of a 6 floor building. That was my “smoking in wind” learning experience. Thankful to be out of that mess.

Oh yeah! Ben there.

How did you manage to go that long without smoking that beauty?

Probably 35% of the pipes I've bought in the last 25 years are unsmoked. Sometimes I just buy stuff and set it aside. Then when I go through my collection occasionally it's like Christmas.

Bar Red, It really scratches an itch for something strong, dark, and flavored. I didn’t enjoy it at first but now I crave it as an after dinner smoke. I’ve never tried the Green but I look forward to it as it has more topping.

The War Horse Bar is on my list. In the last order i got the C&D Black Frigate (waiting for it) instead of the War Horse. But next time I'll get it.

My new Ropp! @judcole is to blame for this. It’s a small pipe. Great for flakes! Bone stem is cool!

Now smoking year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad.

Mail just arrived with a batch of Ken Byron Ventures blends. So, immediately putting fire to a bowl of KBV Red Line (Carolina and S. America Reds plus dark Virginias) in a Tilshead smooth Semibent with tapered stem. Looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast blend of KBV Mr. Christian's Matured Fragrant VIrginia.

Finishing up my first ever bowl of Rouxgaroux, I never considered myself a Va-Per guy. But after trying this blend, now I understand what everyone is talking about concerning their enjoyment of Va-Per blends. A great smoke! The few I have tried in the past was nothing like this. I ordered enough to age, Yum! Now smoking a bowl of Father Dempsey in a Brebbia Ninja. Getting the grill ready for the first time this year, small loin lamb chops cut thick with baked potatoes, caesar salad

Same pipe, but now with Cult's Blood Red Moon

Now smoking year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

My usual tree for pipe posing was cut down yesterday. Very sad.
