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

[Sandblast]

Info for SmokeyJock & Gord, as I call upon long ago memories (70's, 80's), re: the perfect tool for the "job at hand".
All that's needed is a small round screen, which can probably be found in most Smoke Shops.
NOTE: a US Army Jeep gas filter screen, easily cut to size with scissors, works fine.
NOTE2: Requesting to all my Forum brothers & sisters that limited questioning and/or commentary be laid upon me. Nuf said ...
Hmm, wasn't Lou Costello known for saying "I've been a baaaaaad boy!"?

Now smoking year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to work on cleaning estate pipes. Two of them have a light smell to them, so they need another salt and alcohol treatment. One had that treatment, and I'll empty out the bowl, scrub, and see how it's doing. Two need some bowl reaming.

Invest in a dry herb vaporizer! You won’t have use so much of that green tobacco if you vape it

Autumn Evening in a gianormious Marxman 400 D-331, which was formerly owned by a big, brawny outdoor man of action with good teeth to clench it.

My Marxman is waaaay more Marxy than yours!

In 1940 when this was made a woman bought the most expensive factory pipe in the world for her rugged outdoor man of action. This pipe was made and numbered under the supervision of Louis Cowan and sold by Robert L. Marx and after the sale the serial number was entered in the 400 Blue Book by the lovely Helen Marx, or one of her gorgeous young assistants.

We do not own these. We carefully smoke and color them oxblood for the next generation.

A very striking pipe. I enjoyed the old advertisement.

Getting ready to watch UFC on ESPN 65 (a.k.a. UFC Vegas 105), Josh Emmett vs. Lerone Murphy. Going to have G.L. Pease Spark Plug in one of my earliest Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes (and my largest at 26" in length), a Cherrywood with a Natural Horn Stem, stamped “Bussang,” probably made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893.

Kendal mixed in an AGovem billiard.

This pipe has been smoked quite a bit and still hasn’t really colored at all. It’s a fantastic smoker though.

Beautiful. You have a stellar collection. Always enjoy your posts.

Decided that I did enough cleaning on estate pipes, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2012 Carter Hall in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem.

'25 WCC Rouxgaroux in a Altinay bent brandy. Coconut water on the side.

I came home from work and realized I'm locked out of the house. I have everything I need in the garage though! I bought a new vehicle the other day, and have only been carrying the fob. Wife went grocery shopping.
