***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Wilke Chocolate in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Now Smoking: Regular Prince Albert, with a small Super-Value Vanilla 'top'; in a Brigham: Algonquin: smooth, acorn, bent stem, model #263. It's like having whipped-cream on top of your mug of hot cocoa... sort of. LOL! - Sherm Natman

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a black acrylic tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

In the last third of this bowl of KBV Festivus GT in a KBB Yello Bole Collegiate.

... a KBB Yello Bole Collegiate.

That's a really good looking pipe, and, it looks nice and light-weight too; is it? - Sherm Natman

Thanks. Yes, it's tiny and probably weighs in at about .5 oz. I've been very happy with my Yello Boles. The older the better.

Now smoking Stonehenge Flake in a Tinderbox Selected Algerian.

Lit up some 2014 Christmas Cheer in a Black/Tan Boswell’s “Shot-Shell Weathered Stone Curved Poker.”

Sorry for the shitty photo - it’s tough to capture the pipe, the tree, and the TV (important) all in the same frame when it’s dark in the room!

Stonehenge Flake blend on the eve of the Winter Solstice... how appropriate!

Thank you. I really must look into this Yello Boles Collegiate pipe of yours - now that you have activated my PAD - as it looks ideal to my eye, to serve me between a tasting-pipe sized bowl, and, a standard-sized bowl. - Sherm Natman

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost half way through this bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Chatting with a buddy.

So after seeing roughly 92%-207% of @jiminks posts in this thread start with “after having a (_______) apple, I’m now enjoying a ........”

That was enough for me to give it a whirl. The Christmas Cheer I just had was a touch bitey for my liking. To be fair, that’s more than likely attributable to my (still) inexperience and not the blend. Regardless, I wanted to cleanse the old palate so I grabbed an apple hoping that was his secret to sixteen bowls a day.

After having a red delicious apple, I’m now giving the nod to a bowl of Watch City Cigar’s Double Barrel in a Ben Wade straight Dublin. I’m also currently watching Ralphie Parker beat the shit out of Scott Farkus.

Win.

Forgot to add, Eagle Rare 10 is my drink. Neat.

Now Smoking: Lane LTD: BCA; in a Dr. Grabow: Omega: smooth, billiard, bent stem w/Fake-O, P-Lip-ish mouth piece; which I love, as it makes this light pipe, a great 'hanger'. - Sherm Natman

Won't that cigar ghost your pipe?
When I bought my first clay pipe all I could find when I wanted to try it out was a half smoked cigar.
I once found a complete but broken Cohiba so I stuffed it in my clay, not wanting to waste it!

It's not a pipe Dan. Its a meerschaum 'cutty' cigar holder.

This post reminds me to the legendary words I heard Ben Webster saying: " No Fools No Fun ".

[Paul lec]

Got jealous of all the white Christmas stuff so went and found a bit yesterday in Clearwater,no pipes on the beach, but on the way home enjoyed a full bowl of My Mixture 965 in a Peterson 107.

 

[Birddog66]

Time for dessert. Enjoying some Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew in a CAO meer with another glass of Eagle Rare. My buddy Bill is smoking the same in a Strambach billiard I loaned him and having a bottle of Stella Artois midnight lager:

That’s the life

Still working in this Fukuda Tsuge (my dedicated Va, Va/Per pipe now) and debating what shape you would call it... Keepin' it smokey with some Robert McConnell's Red Virginia:

Looks like bagpipes, beautiful beautiful bagpipes
