***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

[AroEnglish]

If SPE means St. Patrick’s Edition then yes.

I meant Smoking Pipes Europe. The reason I ask is because I was looking at a 230 that had amazing birdseye with one fill. I can't tell if this was the exact pipe but I had the same reaction to it as I did with the pipe on SPE: WOW!

I wasn't flush with funds plus I wasn't super keen on the tri-color band so I passed. But man was that a gorgeous pipe.

Enjoyed a little snacking, and am also enjoying a year 2000 H. Upmann double robusto. They are great fresh, but this has aged exceptionally well.

That a very handsome pipe. What line is it from?

It's a Punto Oro, I won it in an auction for around $40. Unfortunately, there's a strange taste ghosting in it that I haven't been able to remove, no matter how hard I've tried. So, it rested in my drawer most of the time until I decided to give Lakeland blends a go.

Now I suspect that the previous owner was probably an Ennerdale Flake lover.

I purchased this one from The Danish Pipe Shop, so it could be the same pipe if you were scrolling euro vendors.

What’s funny is that, being of irish heritage, that band is pretty much the main reason I bought it despite the fill

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Now smoking year 2013 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli Hand Made flat bottom sitter with a square shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my EGR pipe until I got the Basil squashed tomato, and I've rarely smoked this one since. But, I got tired of seeing it sit there unused, and I wanted more EGR, so I'm enjoying an excellent smoke.

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Uhle’s 00 in a 2015 straight dark brown Peterson Irish Harp 150 bulldog with a silver band and a tapered acrylic cumberland fish tail stem.

Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth straight brown circa WW2 Trapwell mountain laurel patent apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. This'll do it for me today.

@Scottmi Nice pipe; great to see another non Halfdan clay pipe post. Smoking SG Black Forest & the house burley blend @Birddog66 sent me in my clays.
