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

[trubka2]

My first bowl of this stuff. Big thumbs up!

 

[JPremo]

Just tried my first pinch of a Hearth & Home tin, I'm finding WhiteKnight to be a fantastic blend with lots of mesquite smokey notes. Enjoyed in my newly acquired '91 KOBE Smooth Billiard Japanese Estate along with a dram of 1991 Cognac as a late birthday treat since the pipe was delayed.

Now smoking the last of my stash of Wilke No.178 in a 1986 full bend pebble relief Aldo Velani Titan 33 briar Oom Paul/Calabash with a black acrylic tapered stem that has a briar accent.

You going fully?!
Bathing suits weren’t invented until the 1800s so let’s be period correct here.

You mean in the nude - I don't know as that's allowed nowadays!

Revisited a tin of Peterson Irish Flake 5 years ago that was too strong for me.
Nice and even smoking now but still too strong for me.

6 year old Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a Neerup Structure Sandblast.

I mixed Picayune and 5 Brothers and had a small group 3 sized bowl a few minutes ago in my Grabow Tru-Grain.
I do put a little sugar...not much, in my black coffee.

Watching City Slickers 2 and smoking some6 year old Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake in this big ass Ardor Old Briar.

You really make me want to get a meerschaum some day! Some of the colors/patina on yours are the best I’ve ever seen! I want to season one to the point it gets that really dark color that some of yours have.... I imagine that would take a lifetime though, it would be very satisfying to watch the colors develop over time. I’ve had a total of 3 meers in my life but all of them had a really shitty draw.

Going by the patina I reckon this one's had more than a single lifetime's smoking looking as it does almost like polished tiger's eye.
The mouthpiece is unsurprisingly not original to the pipe:-

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Smoking Prince Albert in a Dr. Grabow. Coffee with "bergs" is my drink, as I plan my day.

 

[Drew72]

I am an infrequent smoker (maybe 2 bowls per week) but am on a little R&R, so what the hell! First time I’ve smoked in the morning while drinking coffee. It never really appealed to me before. But now I get it!

Russ’ Pirates cove in Gasparini meerschaum lined and 9mm charcoal filter. Very pleasant.
