***What Are You Smoking, August 2022?***

[El Capitán]

I am enjoying Captain Black Cherry right now. I'm a suckered for sweet and aromatic OTCs. Going to try some Peterson next order.

Did a set of walking reps on this inhumanly humid day, and am close to finishing this 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. Plenty of ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[UB 40]

Torus Blend, Kentucky, Virginias, Orient and Latakia - one of my favourites for the evening - in a Hilson White Cap from the 1960s, maybe early 70s I assume. Block-Meerschaum in a sandblasted billiard with tapered ebonite stem.

 

[The Clay King]

Morning everyone. Smoking Capstan Blue in a clay. Then will be going for a walk with my dog. Hope y'all have a good day.View attachment 164433

@Carol Nice pipe - is that a Markus Fohr Knight & Bishop pipe? I'll have to get one

Crumble Kake English #1 in the Chacom 871 bent apple while I wait on the mail. Experimenting with forming the leather for the cups on my pipe stand (so that's finally almost finished, got smaller knobs coming for the drawer). The mail I am waiting on is parts for the motorcycle, poor thing has been down for 2 months waiting on back-ordered lifters.

Let me toss out the suggestion that it is helpful when posting on the WAYS thread to go ahead and spell out the names of blends rather than using only initials. With the number of available blends going into the hundreds if not thousands, initials don't make the names jump to mind for most of us, even the lifers. Since most of these posts are pretty short, it's good to be able to read them in a way that can be quickly understood.

CS Green Dragon from a Karl Erik freehand with horn.

 

[Chasing Embers]

a new brand to market from a well known producer.

Mac Baren has had a few new blends over the past couple of years.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty cinnamon raisin French toast lunch with strawberries, and smoked a bowl of Sutliff Whimsical (Signature Series) in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[Amarkey]

SPC Plum Pudding out of a Savinelli Nonpereil.

 

[Tom Sawtooth]

Before I hit the sack GH - BCF in a Diplomat 5th Avenue Cob.

 

[JimInks]

Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of F&T Blackjack in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam billiard 27 Canadian patent 341422 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Peterson 999 Short/Mac Baren Virginia No. 1 (2009). I can’t figure out how to describe it, but it’s an interesting change from the aromatics and the Virginia I tried yesterday. Very nice.
