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

HU Dockworker in a Sasieni Perfect Ten Canadian.
HU tobaccos are blended by Hans Weidermann. While most HU tobaccos are manufactured by Kolhase & Kopp, Dockworker is manufactured by Dan Tobacco. It is a burley forward blend with Malawi ?? Burley leading, backed by Orientals and Virginias. While I don’t have much experience in burley it tastes quite different from Cornell & Deihl burley blends. It is a flake, but comes very wet. All my flakes were crumpled together. Despite being a flake and soggy, it will still yield about 20-22 smokes (for me) from a 50 g tin, so I think they compensate for the water in the tobacco. I purchased this from Estervals Pipe House in Germany ??. HU is not available in US.

In honor of the latest drop I’m enjoying some aged Stonehaven with some dark roast ️.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi’s Out Shine in a brown straight smooth Paul Perri billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem.

Oops, entered this in the old July thread; thanks BROB.

The discontinued Dunhill Durbar, a Virginia based non-aro, in a rusticated straight Sav Venere apple I won in the pipesmagazine and SP cartoon caption contest along with a Sav t-shirt some years ago. This is a great little pipe for this sturdy blend.

Finished off my Friday with some C&D Carolina Red Flake, in a MM poker. Also got to try out my new Maruman lighter, an item that was purchased off Ebay in March... and arrived four days ago.

C&D Bayou Night.

Will make you strong like bull! ?

 

[JimInks]

Did a second set of walks, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of D&R Three Sails in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.

Didn't even know there was a "Night", only ever had the Morning.

See this is why @mso489 told us to add details ?. My fault. It has Burley, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, and Virginia. Kind of a strong, full flavored blend. I’d maybe even go so far as to call it an acquired taste for most. I enjoy it straight or as a mixer to give body. Available pretty much anywhere as bulk.

Now smoking year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Rain has finally come.

Enjoying Condor Blended in a French Ancestor Rugged Briar. Fabulous rustication on this little bulldog.

**Now posting in the correct place (the first of the month - any month - comes along faster and faster!).** First smoke of a sample of C&D's Red Odessa, in a Peterson 80s. Strong-brewed black tea, with cream, lightly sweetened with honey.

My first light up this August was G.L. Pease's Penny Farthing in a Peterson Dublin Spigot. Dependably satisfying pour over coffee, neat, close at hand. Now sipping on and pleasantly pleased with the choice of Gawith Hoggarth's Dark Bird's Eye.
