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

Another evening enjoying some Mac Baren Navy Flake, folded and stuffed, in a sandblasted J Alan billiard. I have a strong inclination towards this blend when the weather gets cold but I'm not ready to tackle old dark fired. I hope that everyone is having a great weekend.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Astley’s No. 109 Medium Flake in a straight black 1963 Dunhill LB Shell 4S billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching an episode of McCloud.

Gawith's Commonwealth in a Ventilator. Some Latakia for a switch.

A question for you: Do you pronounce it Lata-KEE-a or La-TA-kia?

Some Wessex Gold Virginia in my failed ALI meerschaum poker. Three years of weekly smoking and regular waxing and no coloration at all. I have tested it and it is block meerschaum. It smokes well, just won't color.

@LotusEater ,
Thanks man. I’m trying to post some. Probably won’t make it a daily thing again, but I will try and stay active.

Wow! That is some unusual carving there...never seen anything like it! Very cool! Like candle wax dripped down.. er, that doesn't melt when you smoke it does it!?

Match Elizabethan from PC, in a Johs slightly bent semi-rusticated apple my wife gave me for Christmas twelve years ago. For about a year, I thought this was a brandy shape, but then came across the invoice on which Mogen Johansen had stated it is an apple. Since my wife lived and worked for decades in and around New York City, I call this my big apple. It is the largest pipe I own, a Group 6 for sure. This is an evenly balanced English blend so goes well in a big-chambered pipe.

G.L. Pease 5 years old Samarra in a Blatter green/red dot Diplomat. Just opened the tin, quite disappointed. Bitter, very peppery and sharp with a bitter aftertaste. I' ll revisit during the week to see if that changes.

This is Paul’s Arrowhead Pipe Club Mixture, in the Sav billiard…sipping Tim Hortons lattè, lukewarm, unfortunately, since it’s 37 deg F ambient temperature.

I love that Arrowhead, and cold coffee works for me all the time!

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and smoked a bowl of Wilke Wall Street in a 2013 straight black sandblasted Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baker Street with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite fish tail stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
