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

[Tar Wheel]

I’m smoking SG Kendal Cream Flake in a MM Rob Roy. This is my first time smoking this blend, as I’m trying the few SG blends that I haven’t had the chance to try yet, in order to gauge my interest in cellaring any of them.

My last bowl for the month of August is now finished. Enjoyed some Cobblestone Knight out of my Peterson St.Patrick's Day 2020 shape 05.

Country Squire Black and Tan in a Rattray Dark Ale and a coffee.

Remnants of Hurricane Ida still whipping up the winds. That’s my excuse for the messy tobacco ash, anyway. ?

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a very tasty lunch, and am not far from finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

965 in the Pete Rustic Atlantic 05

 

[JimInks]

Match Elizabethan from PC in a BC straight rusticated billiard with a tapered stem and silver colored band, a Rocaille series pipe. This blend is currently my favorite Virginia based blend, nicely balanced, tasty, with no edges. jiminks, that's the first Mountain Laurel pipe I've seen or heard mentioned on Forums. The N.C. pipe carver Jerry Perry still works in Mountain Laurel along with briar and some other woods. I have several of his pipes in Mountain Laurel, as well as some in briar, and one in cocobolo.

I have a couple more from the WWII period. Good smoking pipes.

From earlier...

Good morning all! Got an extra early start this morning, so I’m taking a little break.
I’ve been waiting to break these in - the pipe and the tobacco, so why not put ‘em together!? Orlik GS is fantastic as advertised. The Bjarne, courtesy of Marty Pulvers, is an easy smoke with a wonderful open draw. Enjoying on the patio with a cup o’ English Breakfast. Oh - and I cut a bit too much GS, so I went ahead and packed and charred the rest in a Savinelli for later. Am I doing this right?

Cheers!

Good night folks!!! After a good salad dinner, now, time to "breaking" my new Le Nuvole Lovat with Janneman Flake

 

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps in this sweltering heat and humidity, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.

 

[Mtlpiper]

Ah Dark Flake, it's been too long

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Cleaning estate pipes as I listen to the Marlins-Mets game.
