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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2021 HU Directors Cut in a 2002 black short shank grain relief straight Caminetto 6.L.17 tomato with a black acrylic tapered stem. I'm testing this blend out to see if HU dialed back the DFK as I suggested. The DFK in the earlier productions (up to 2017) was a condiment and not a force as it has been in the post-2017 era. It was a more complex, balanced blend back then. So far, a few puffs tell me it was changed, but I'll decide on that after I smoke more of it. A cup of hot tea is my drink.

The sun came out today ? so out on the swing with a pipe of Plum Pudding which was a gift from Scott! With a Morgan Bones pipe. Just perfect! And the tobacco and pipe too! ?

@condorlover1 I thought I could taste the Condor in the clay pipe; got a packet of Condor to smoke in it. Didn't know Condor plug was still made but I've seen Condor Long Cut. I'll have to keep it as a dedicated Condor pipe then...

Yes Dan that would seem like a good idea. Don't forget to run a pipe cleaner through the stem, after all you wouldn't wear the same pair of socks two days in a row now would you? On second thoughts don't answer that question. Remember you have used your two a day 'Condorlover' quota of quotes up until tomorrow!

A bright day of sunshine on this December 20, with an unseasonably warm 38º out there. But this being New England, that will change ‘ere long. Meanwhile, enjoying a bowl of C&D Wintertime Reserve Snow Day in a Connoisseur Rusticated Skater.

Just popped a new tin of Edward G Robinson and filled a Chacom. Black tea on the side.

HH Old Dark Fired out of my beautiful Molina. My first time with the blend. I really enjoy it. Wonderful taste and spot on mechanics.

Now smoking year 2021 HU Directors Cut in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. The DFK is most certainly toned down to where it used to be.

@ray47 leave a sign here if you really are an oat tycoon ? ?

What is an "Oak Tycoon"?

 

[condorlover1]

@ray47 I think he meant "Oat Tycoon" which would imply his immense wealth came from dealing in Oats or similar grain cereal.

Had a mail call from @troutface and he graciously included a hefty sampler of stone haven. Just so happens it’s one of the esoterica blends I’ve always wanted and never found. So stonehaven It is! You made my day Jeff thanks a bunch!
