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

[JimInks]

I stupidly descended into a basement that had a bunch of burned batteries. The sulphuric acid did the rest.

Between the batteries, the flu and a mild Covid case. I didn’t smoke a pipe for a month. That almost killed me.

If you’re going to be dumb, you gotta be tough.

I'm glad you're doing better, buddy.

The wind is really picking up, but I'm hiding against the house to finish off this Black Kathy in an unbranded "Dublin System" stamped Peterson clone. View attachment 118002

After a nice dinner of mushroom and smoked pork alfredo pasta with homemade bread and some red wine I had to sneak outside for a quick smoke of English Toffee in a MM Pony Express.View attachment 118063

Duane,
So pleased to see that set clear Customs and safely in your hands.
Enjoy.
Are we to expect further morta additions to your collection ? ?

Now smoking D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Going to the studio to work on commission ideas. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I'm going to get Andrey to make me a set of 7 bamboo shanked pipes. Some may be morta. Other than it being extremely light, I notice nothing no significant difference between it and briar or meerschaum. It does have a very nice texture though.

@OzPiper

I can also now safely say that after smoking cobs, briars, clays, meerschaum, and now morta, there is no such thing as a pipe material that will not ghost.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the 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.

Exactly my experience, except perhaps with porcelain. I can get the porcelain bowl almost back to bare surface after a smoke with wet paper towels.

Cobs and a few other woods eg strawberry, pear, birch, manzanita are materials I have not yet tried. But I have well and truly scratched the itch trying pipes made from different materials.

strawberry

I've got three and they're almost identical to briar save their weight.
