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

[TheIronMonkey]

It’s still Sunday, so I’m going to have Dan Tobacco Devil’s Holiday in a Sunday Cob Pipes (of Washington, Missouri) Stacked Dublin Churchwarden.

Peterson Flake, trying for the first time, gifted to me by @Akoni808

In a 1901 Sam McLardy & Co. Meerschaum with a vulcanite stem.

Be well everyone!

First bowl of a freshly cracked b-day tin of 2022 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 rusticated bent pot. Freaking fantastic, 9.5/10

Bird report: California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, Mountain chickadee, House finch (see below), Common raven, California quail, Red-tailed hawk, Western bluebird, Northern flicker, Dark-eyed junco, Eurasian collared dove, and White-crowned sparrow.





House finch males are typically red on the head and breast, but we've been seeing an explosion lately of yellow-colored finches, which is apparently a recessive gene becoming more dominant. I've also seen several that have more of an orange motif going on...perhaps they're interbreeding with the red ones? Whatever it is, they're positively beautiful, and welcome to gorge themselves on the seed I put out so as to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY GARDEN! Thank you in advance for your cooperation...

Here's the couple together, with his wife looking right at me:



Be well everyone!

2019 Derringer this evening. Nice, mellow, pleasant virginia. Reminded me of crispy baked filo dough or flaky biscuits

 

[Chasing Embers]

Any time you wanna double your money, let me know. But $40’d be my limit

The last 3 pipe and or tobacco packages I've sent out were lost or destroyed. Dunhill fascination perplexes me. I've had five that were badly drilled, the blasts were unremarkable, and the stem work leaves a lot to be desired. This one's future will be the trash when I no longer find it useful but misspellings on ebay go beneath the radar frequently. This one was listed as a "Dunhull" and I got no competition in the bidding. It came with the box, sock, and original pamphlet.

LL-7 in a Kaywoodie straight apple 42. Off to bed after this.

 

[AroEnglish]

Steamworks in the Musico Floodlight w/silver.

C&D Pegasus in a Savinelli Punto Oro 320KS. This pipe might be dedicated to Pegasus, we will see.View attachment 306543

Good idea
nice looking Sav

Pegasus in the DM Stanwell


Rough night. Was pretty sure my boy dog had a seizure so we brought him in. Vet didn't think so. Tests came back ok. Something scary neurological happened.

*he got good care. We are lucky to live close to the hospital

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[Sidehatch]

Hate when awesome weekends end. Gilliam tadpole with Blue Note.

 

[BrightDarkEyes]

First smoke of the day is Haunted Bookshop in a no name 1/4 bent meerschaum with acrylic semi transparent fishtail stem with 9mm filter.

I made the mistake of smoking one bowl of Golden Blend’s Black Cherry quite a while ago in this pipe and I’m still trying to smoke the ghost out. My sister-in-law and her partner bought that blend for me as a gift on their trip to Japan last year. They knew I smoked a pipe and bought that blend for me out of a vending machine.

Glad to hear he’s ok, but unknown can be scary too.

A third of the way through this bowl of C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

I hear ya, I don’t get it. I get paying decent money for good pipes, but I don’t see ever spending white spot money. The only thing on my radar would be a birth year pipe (I dunno any other brands that have solid dating in ’67, just my luck) but even that’d have to be an unheard of deal (or a typo).

 

[Ted Vig]

4th Generation 2012 flake in a simple pipe. It's only labeled St Claude Canadian. I've had it for many many years and smoked a gazillion bowls out of it. It's darkened so much and the grain just pops. Always good!

 

[Roach1]

That’s nice! Which years did they run freehand/plateau styles for the DM’s?

Im not sure but I have had these going on about 20 years ang have 3 of them. I purchased these from Dan Pipe.

 

[Roach1]

Here they are.

 

[JimInks]

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.


Currently, I am at the half way mark of this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a year 2021 straight black sandblasted Peterson Ragaire 150 bulldog with an unmounted army mount tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the first third of this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. I should be able to end the day with this smoke. Reading baseball box scores.
