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

[OzPiper]

Thanks
I bought this pipe from Steve Laug of Reborn Pipes. You can read about it here’re if you like - GBD Tahiti Pipes – rebornpipes - https://rebornpipes.com/tag/gbd-tahiti-pipes/

I like this pipe because 1) it’s a G B D
2) its an uncommon GBD 3) it makes me feel likeI’m at a tiki bar

Steve is an all round great guy. He has kindly refurbished a couple of my oldies.

I just bought a pipe from him today - a Stanwell shape 35(02) designed by Anne Julie.
It's a Polonius lookalike. Given the she and Gert Holbek were longtime friends, I wonder who came up with that shape first, or whether it was a collaborative effort.

Fitting pipe for such a foul mixture?

Hush !
Mixture 79, like M&Ms and Oreos are a secret vice.
One of the readily available OTCs in the '70s like Amphora and Borkhum Riff.

Finishing off that wonderful cognac with a bowl of Sillems Black in this 1896 meerschaum. Chester hallmarks. Replacement Bakelite stem

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am half way through this bowl of C&D Derringer in a smooth brown-orange undated Mastro de Paya 3A L Tulip with a silver cap military mount and a acrylic yellow tapered stem. First time smoking this pipe. Having an excellent experience with it.

Funny you say that. I smoked the CB earlier, and now I’m having some 1-Q because they seemed similar and I wanted to compare. In this moment I feel like they are both appealing for the same reasons, but 1-Q is a bit more so. The Royal smells and tastes a bit sweeter to me. The 1-Q is an overall smoother smoke. Maybe I’ll flip the order next time to see if I feel the same. Btw Gold is the only other CB I’ve tried and I enjoy that too.

I think the main difference is Captain Black blends have a bunch of propylene glycol for shelf life. Most of the Captain Blacks have a Lane counterpart, but the bulk Lane blend is more "pure."

Good to see another bearded forum member.
The generosity of the ladies and gentlemen on our forum never ceases to amaze me.

That it does. But I doubt that it will become a Santa Clause long beard.... nope.

Now smoking Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to work in a couple of minutes.

Hello good people.

Sometime ago, a colleague told me that he was going with his wife for some days to Copenhagen, Denmark. I asked him if he could visit The Danish Pipe Shop, and he accepted since they should stay not far from the spot.
So, he brought me a tin of Kong Frederik IX's mixture, which I have just opened and I am smoking it now in a (former) Polish Mr Brog pipe, heavily restored/transformed by a Greek carver.

May we all have a relaxing weekend.

I bought this Limited Edition last year with Samuel on it.

Gawith tabacs are amazing, if you ever get their way, please take some pics of the place to show us.

@PipeIT A fantastic tin - and none of the nasty health warnings! If that was me I'd save it to use for clay pipe storage!
I've got a tin of Larsen's Craftsman's Edition to smoked in my clay pipes; I'll save the tin for clay pipe storage when I've smoked it all.
I'm carrying on the tradition of smoking clay pipes with Gawith tobacco...

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Wall Street in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem.

Off to bed now so I can be up early for the English Premier League. My goodnight smoke is Maltese Falcon.

Had a craving for some burley, so I filled my old Brigham 2 dot Zulu with some Crowley's Best.
