***What Are You Smoking, April 2025?***

[OzPiper]

A couple of pre-STG Made in Denmark Stanwells today.
Ist is a plateau-topped freehand with a chair-leg stem which I bought in the mid-70s. It was so different to all the pipes I’d seen to that point.

Wrapped up some final ranch chores with a bowl of Mac Baren Symphony in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 rusticated pot. Just when I thought I was done buying... ...I'd better snag a pound of this before it gets put out to pasture. Speaking of which, the mustang's pen is drying nicely. I can finally put the mudboots away! 9/10

Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, Golden-crowned sparrow, Chipping sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, House finch, California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, American crow, Band-tailed pigeon, Northern flicker, Mountain chickadee, White-breasted nuthatch, California quail, Hairy woodpecker, and Spotted towhee.

Looking forward to watching a well-timed episode of The Peter Schiff Show tonight. Highly recommend! And not just because I'm a holder of his gold mutual fund.

Haven't had any coffee today

I’m a huge fan of Gabrielis. I have 2, and love both. Awesome looking pipe there!

The more we interact with eachother on this forum, the more I can see we'd get along in person *tips hat*

Agreed man. Maybe we can meet up at Muletown sometime. That show is on my shortlist of pipe shows!

Grateful every day!
Even though I took none outside, I feel I owe the post and thread a picture.

This morning I had some 2015 gaslight in a Boswell poker and after that I had some 2024 Abingdon in a Bruno nuttens Prince.

Just finished a bowl of a sample custom blend from Peretti. They are working on a Balkan blend for me. I used a little Altinay billiard.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking unreleased 2014 Sutliff red Virginia in a 2014 smooth, medium brown quarter bend Basil Meadows paneled horn with a tapered cumberland p-lip stem.

Break in the storms so I've snuck outside for some PS Luxury Navy Flake in the EMC Dublin.

Now smoking year 2012 Astley’s No. 55 in a 1978 straight smooth brown BBB Silver Mounted 522 pot with a silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[BurleyVonPuffington]

SPC Plum Pudding BBA in a Carey Magic Inch smooth, slightly bent pot.

 

[VDL_Piper]

Smoking some Barbary Coast in a Castello #33 whilst I plan my next move against Australian Customs. The bastards have confiscated the last 4 shipments and to say I’m not impressed is a slight understatement.

Another pre-STG Danish era Stanwell - a Sixten Ivarsson designed Shape 02 half-bent slant-topped canted egg


With a bowl of MacBaren’s Mixture: Scottish Blend.
I hope this is one MacBaren blend that STG will keep in production

Over time the Savinelli 122 has become my favorite overall pipe. So many blends just taste better to me in that bowl. I'm sure you're gonna love it!

About to start my saturday shift behind the wheel, but prior to that I gotta have my first bowl of the day,
dryed out and somewhat stale tasting Barens Golden Extra boosted up with addition of dash of G&H company Kendal dark shag in an Ashton XX Pebble Grain Long Lumberman anno 2023

F&T Vintage in an Altinay.

Half and Half in an Adjustomatic Golden Duke Dr Grabow.

First pipe of the day, wife and son are sick so they stayed home while I went to work and took the baby to my parent's house for the day. The baby is finally asleep so I decided to relax with a delightful Guinness and try a new (to me) blend from my latest haul from GH&Co, Kendal #7. Many here seem to enjoy this blend, and I can absolutely see why!


Afterwards, I loaded up my Bent Hunter Falcon with a chimney meer with C&D Pegasus to finish off the rest of my Guinness.


On a side note, I've learned so much more about the hobby in the 6 or so months I've been here than in the entire year I spent piping beforehand. Just wanted to say thanks everyone!

That is a snazzy pipe. I like your style!

For sure. It's fantastic for burleys and VaBurs, with that nice wide chamber. Fell in love with it on sight too! One of three Savs I have, and they're all excellent smokers.
