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

[Mis Pipas]

Enjoying S.G. Best Brown in Brebbia Toby Rocciata

 

[sallow]

Enjoying a small bowl RB Plug with a cup of expresso whilst I decide if I will open a new pack of Warrior Plug or wait till Tuesday since that is the start of the new month. My pipe of choice is a 4 1/2" meerschaum 'cutty' with faux amber stem made by some French pipe maker around the turn of the century. I got so many 'Likes' from yesterdays Lady Bird children's early learning book I thought I would finish the series off for August with this gem!

I think I saw this on an episode of Phineas and Ferb

Going to light up some BCA in a few moments. Getting ready to go play an outdoor funk/jazz gig, hope the weather holds up! 3 hours of instrumental guitar music is going to require a special cool down bowl later on tonight

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

Storm still coming down, no sun on the horizon. So it's a short stick for my short game: Aging Room Quattro F55

 

[newbroom]

A medium (group 4) meer apple with a delicious mixture of PennHooker, TwoTimer, and some condimental Ramback. (notice there's no perique) I usually add Picayune, but recently found that Izmir too, makes a wonderful compliment.

Smoking a bowl of sliced Black XXX Twist in meerschaum 'cutty' pipe circa 1907.

Peterson's Perfect Plug in a Chacom Army -- Korean barley tea on the side.

Happened to catch a tin of Dunbar at the local B&M. Trying it for the first time in a Peterson Deluxe System 20s, and... I don't get it. Oh well, will keep puffing and maybe it's charms will appear for me.

 

[Perique]

Angler’s Dream in a pear wood. Haven’t smoked it in awhile and I’m remembering why I always liked this stuff.

 

[burleyboy]

G&H Dark Flake unscented in a Dunhill 4104 County.

My recollection of Dunbar is a more subtle VaPer. Better with age and sipped super slow. Not in your face or bold. Others maybe able to give more perspective. Haven’t smoked it in many years but have a lb of well aged stock on hand.

I am enjoying it a bit more now that I'm in the middle of the bowl. I think you're right that it's more on the subtle side, and I wasn't really expecting that based on the rich and fruity tin note.

Dorchester is more of an “in your face “ VaPer from Esoterica I think.

@halfdan just in case you fancy an evolutionary step up in 'Clay Pipe World' you might want to search these guys out from Germany as they make an excellent clay pipe with a modern stem, aluminum band which acts as a heat exchanger and makes it really easy to clean. Just a thought my friend......

What’s the brand name and/or where can those clays be found?

Very true.

Just past the quarter mark on this bowl of 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 my last set of walks.
