***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

[jdb67]

Last night was McClelland Scottish Woods. Tonight was Black Frigate. I only have the one tin of Scottish Woods. Very nice, but it still would not replace Old Dublin for me, so I will enjoy this tin and not worry that it does not exist anymore and stay stocked with Old Dublin.

C&D Burley Flake No 3 in a GBD Rockroot Volcano

After starting the day off with coffee and some of my 60/40 PS Amsterdam/Turkish salad in the same Stanwell 86 I finished last night with, I took a hike on a lakeshore trail where the smells of nature are so incredible, I’d never intrude on the experience to fellow walkers by smoking. Then it was chores. Lots of chores and grocery shopping. No time to smoke. Fortunately, between loads of laundry, I rubbed out some Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake and left it out to dry. I’ve loaded it into this oddball ...

... a Butz-Choquin Diam.

Well, it looks a bit strange with its flat front, but it’s a cleverly designed sitter/rocker, and it smoked nicely right out of the box. This will only be its third bowl. I’m just about to head out to the balcony and light up.

It may be cheating for me to post that I packed the rest of the 1792 I prepped into the same BC Diam for a second bowl, after a cool-down and cleaning. A good bowl is worth repeating. Nearly halfway through, this one might be even better.

(This pipe’s going to have one hell of a ghost for the next few bowls ... )

Staying up late to have a bowl of WIlke Surburg Crystal Palace in a Great Dane Spool bent cob. Last smoke of the day.

Smoking Planta Brazillian Mixture in my Tropical Paints promotional pipe.. seemed to fit. This is my first try with this one. Thanks to @puff_not_snuff, for the sample. Diet Coke is my drink, as I have my last cup of coffee for the day

About a third of a bowl left of Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem.

Victorian Match in the Gamboni

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Have enough Dunbar left for about 2/3 a bowl. Chatting with the fella who gifted me the pipe.

I've been out lunting 3x's already today. Saw an opossum while enjoying the pre-dawn coolness, and smoking a tasty mixture of PennHooker and Picayune by D&R in a couple of pipes. One a nice large Maplewood billiard by Chris Besse of Red Deer, Alberta CA. and the other an old beater Grabow carved rusticated straight billiard that I resurrected sorta by cutting off the top 3/32" and sanding. White spade. Grand Duke, I think. Love those old Grabow stems.
