***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

[ThermionicScott]

2021 Union Square in my mystery mini-briar.



I found myself browsing Brulor pipes on SP the other day, only to realize, “hey, this has an even smaller chamber than that little pipe I never smoke!” So I figured I’d clean it a bit and give it another try. Whaddya know, having another really nice bowl of Union Square. Either it’s mellowing after being open for a few days, or I’m just figuring out how to smoke it. Rubbing it out most of the way and filling the pipe the night before has been working well.

You’ll be seeing this pipe in WAYS a lot more!

Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River in a Savinelli Estar Full Bent Billiard 614 with a yellow acrylic stem and gold stamped jeweled crown on the left side. This finish is closer to the Stellar line and not as veiny as the Estella pipes by Savinelli.

Just tried out the mix I made a couple weeks ago shooting to scratch the Irish Flake itch.
Next batch will probably have half the VaNo1 and add 1 part Five Bros.
Kaywoodie Campus White Briar Belgique.

It’s cool in the garage, so I decided on Drucquer and Sons Loch Ness. I had put this blend aside last year after opening a tin for the first time because the casing/topping was intrusive. It seems to have mellowed a bit with six or eight months out of the tin, and is much more enjoyable now. Smoking in a Ser Jacopo swan neck brandy with coral dot.

First smoke of the day is Haunted Bookshop in my Vauen Country 477 1/4 bent ball shape with dimple rustication and acrylic stem and 3mm adapter.

A third of the way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Going to check on the ferals soon as the rain is expected before long.

Bow Legged Bear in my Vauen Country 466 straight apple with acrylic tapered stem and 3mm adapter.

Cigar Time:

La Gloria Cubana, Serie R Maduro. This cigar holder has seen 10 cigars smoked through it, and picked up a lot of color.

The picture does not show the extent of coloring except for the rim.

Did some weeding with Crooner

 

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just finished a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple on the side. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Costa Rico Black Honey Geisha, neat, is my drink.
