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

[BROBS]

St. Bruno Flake in a Pete 301 System Standard. Haven’t quite figured this blend out yet. This is my second bowl and the topping seems almost non-existent compared to yesterday. Delicious nonetheless. Martini, as usual lately.

Topping seems very light to me as well on it. And a bit strong for me with the burleys in it. It’s one I’d smoke if it wasn’t too strong for me.

I don’t find it strong. Very medium - if that is a thing, lol. I think the bowl I smoked yesterday might have previously had Ennerdale in it so that gave it a flavor boost. Now I get mostly good, sweet VA with a hint of topping.

After an afternoon of yard work I wanted to sit down and read the Estervals shipping thread since I placed a rather large order a week before the thread was posted. So I lit up a bowl of HU Louisiana Broken and read the thread. The thread was depressing, but I really enjoyed this bowl. There’s a guy on tobacco reviews that mentions in all of his HU reviews to get them in Mason jars. I have to agree. Since transferring this tin to a Mason jar every bowl is better than the last. Same with Directors Cut. And this is after scorching my tongue and roof on my mouth last week. I couldn’t smoke a pipe for a few days.

HU Tillerman out of my French made Algerian Briar Dublin as I walked Marco by the park. Rain seems to have washed most the diesel away.


about to have some Dark Cream Shag from my Republic Period Peterson Killarney 106.

OHM Red Turkish, which is Virgnia, burley and Turkish, in a sightly bent rusticated Peterson author/apple. This is a flavorful medium blend with a Turkish accent, a nice mid-day blend.

Now smoking the very dry year 2015 D&R A.P. Rimboche in a smooth dark brown, medium bend late 1950s Parker Super Bruyere 45 with a “4” in a circle billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Time to do the last set of walks for the day.

Just enjoyed my first bowl of Mac Baren HH Burley Flake, absolutely delicious. It could be good humidity/weather but that flake seemed to burn a bit cooler than my usual Virginia fare.

Moved on to some Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in a well used MM Legend, yum

Very similar bowl shape and spur to this early-mid 19th Cent. churchwarden by W. Southorn & Co. (1802-1841).

Downed my clay pipe of St. Bruno in just under 1min 30s!

I’m calling it Maple Bacon... 1 flake of ODF and A pinch of Autumn Evening. In a Peterson Summertime 606 straight pot. Smokes nicely. Pleasant taste not too much aro heat.

Headed home for dinner with Aylesbury Luxury Flake in an MM General.
