***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

[The Clay King]

Just smoked my last clay bowl for a couple of days.
Done another 11000 steps today!
Been to visit the flood management works I helped to build; didn't get a decent smoke in the churchyard as I got caught in the rain!
Going swimming today and will order my Iceland shopping for delivery on Tuesday.
When I've smoked the WO Larsen Craftsman's mix I'll keep the tin for clay pipe storage!

I’m smoking Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Rum Flake in a MM apple diplomat. Relaxing on the porch with a bourbon as the weekend winds down.

@Tar Wheel I haven't tried the Rum Flake but it would have been a good one for the Pirate Festival, as I found out they soaked their tobacco in spirit such as rum then...

 

[Ahi Ka]

@Ahi Ka I enjoyed the Epiphany in my clay pipes. Are you Maori going by your name and your use of Kia Ora and the Maori name for New Zealand?

Nah bro, I’m Pākehā but I love to celebrate our nation’s official language - English is only a de facto language down under. I pulled a bit too much out of the jar so I’ll finish the remainder in a clay ??

@virkia I tried the Gawith Hoggarth Black Cherry in my clay pipes but the Cherry Vanilla is my favourite pipe baccy.
I had a memorable smoke of it in a clay pipe at the Lace Wars re-enactment in 2019 at Cromford Mill.

CRF in a Peterson. Strong t-storms rolling in.

@Ahi Ka I've come across the Maori language on the New Zealand police documentaries but not heard it spoken.
I think of Maori as a southern hemisphere equivalent of the Welsh language...
The Maori stopped for drink driving should have stuck to Kia Ora (a brand of orange squash)...
Good to see a fellow clay pipe smoker on the forums - I'm not the only one

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2013 Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem.

 

[virkia]

Very nice! Is that a military bit? I don't believe ever seen one quite like that.

Looks very similar if not identical to the mount on the Dunhill 'Don':-

 

[Gus]

Just wow, I think this is one of the coolest pipes I've ever seen - is there a shape for this or did he do it custom for you?

Thanks, no, I don't know what the shape is called nor is it made for me, I don't know if Roush accepted commissions, I think it's been a long time since he made pipes, or I don't see his new pipes for sale, just estates

 

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Dodgers beating the Mets.

Jim, that thing looks heavy. Are you able to clench that while inking?

Enjoying some Wilke 191 in a Savinelli 642 Series III.

I can clench it for a while, but not continuously, so I only it when I'm not working. Great smoker, though, and I love the expert paneling.

Hearth & Home Fusiliers Ration in a quad 'K' Castello rusticated straight Dublin.
Not as good as Bengal Slices

After a long busy finally getting a chance to smoke.

Cigar Time - Caldwell Cigars The Last Tsar

 

[Bax Burley]

How is that mix

It's quite nice. Cuts the spice a little bit and adds that nice wine-flavored kick of the Half and Half. (I know it's cardamom, but I always taste a red wine kick in Half and Half.)

 

[weezell]

Cascadia Pipe Co. - Downwind in a Meer. A decent smoke but nothing I would rush out to buy a lot of. Little whiskey on opening, after that just kind of a burley/Va smoke. In a Meer...

 

[Count Vajda]

Now smoking 2003 Rich's Renaissance (a Steve Books blend) in a "Charatan's Make London, England Executive" egg (no other nomenclature). The jar was sealed with wax since 2003. Just had a filling Chicken Vindaloo dinner and I'm now relaxing with an IPA and my pipe while watching some 1960s Doctor Who.
