A couple of minutes away from smoking Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem.
Thank you! I’m very pleased with it.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in an undated, unbranded straight smooth dark brown made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
English leftovers and dark burley in a Medico VFQ bulldog.
Just finished smoking Wilke No. 524 in an undated, unbranded, slight bend smooth darker brown made in France Los Alton VBF zulu with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Time for a snack.
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Wilke Coronado Oriental in a straight black sandblasted undated, unbranded Made in France short shank billiard with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Had a Mac Baren Passover evening, Mixture Scottish Blend, then dinner, then Vanilla Cream. Our horse moved in with us today, so I'm utterly exhausted, but glad to move on to the next chapter of my life, which will hopefully feature more frequent pipe smoking (these are my first April smokes).
'Night all!
'Night all!
On the way to the half way mark on this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot 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 is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. Time to feed the ferals.
Happy Easter to you all.
Continuing breaking in my new Eltang Basic - third day now and already a (very) thin cake in the bowl.
Smoking some Orlik Golden Sliced.

Erik Stokkebye Evening Flake & Ashton artisen in eltangs.
Fresh green tea is picked and dehydrated during this season, and now is the best time to taste it with some Virginia or VP flake.

Last smoke of the day is Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Anomalous in a Radice Rind Straight.
@JimInks I must of received an off batch. This is very light, and I’m also a light weight, I could never smoke the amount you do, I’d Nicotine OD. LOL
I can blast through a bowl of this in 30-40mins an no nicotine sensation at all. And I know, the last time I was blasting through a bowl was Eight State Burley, holy crap, my heart was palpitating and bugging me for hours, now that stuff had a serious kick.
I also have to sip it extremely slow to get any flavors, if I puff it a bit at all, there’s not much going on.
I’ve never had luck with any Sutliff blends.
This is like smoking C&D CRF, Brighton level of strength, Grousemoor has more strength of flavors than this.
I’ll lay off the straight VAs a while, give my mouth a rest, and revisit and see what happens, but after already smoking two bowls, I’m sure it’s not my mouth.
hmm odd
Be well everyone!
P.S. @cshubhra I loved that usage of the emojis! Think it’s time for me to fire up some of the
LOL
