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

2013 Christmas Cheer in a Baglan claw and egg meer.

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

2023 Cringle Flake in an Alden. I was hoping this would be red virginia with Perique as a compliment. Instead, it tastes like Perique with red virginia barely as a compliment. Admittedly, this is good quality Perique.

JF Germains Hampton Flake in a Castello Apple Natural Vergin

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking year 2019 C&D Yorktown in an unbranded '70s Charatan smooth straight dark brown billiard with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Paid twenty bucks for it in 1981, and it smokes as well as a Charatan first.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2019 C&D Derringer in a smooth brown three quarter bend 1970s Charatan Belvedere 4211DC egg with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. I may end the day with this smoke, and if so, I'll be one Charatan short of smoking them all. I figure it's a 50/50 chance.

Going to have Savinelli 140° (1358/2800) in my 60th Birthday pipe, a virgin, sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Extraordinaire (Eccezionale) Fan.



Full back story on this unique pipe here.

Smoking now -for the first time- Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester Virginia, from the grey tube. A light, discreet blend. Ideal with the morning coffee. And the price: 15.50 Euros per 160 gr!
In another EE2 OliveCob pipe.

I wish you all a nice Friday good people!

Smoked a JFR 770 tonight, it was lightly floral on lighting and beyond that the first half seems mostly an ordinary cigar, which took three hours to burn down to before I tossed the rest in the campfire (while snacking on marshmallows and watching a season review of the 2010 F1 championship, arguably the best year of racing in F1 history).

It's the strangest thing that I can puff on a Cigar endlessly with effectively zero mouth irritation but to my memory every pipe tobacco stings almost instantly, it could just be that I really need to use filters.

Hey @jpmcwjr unlocked the How To Get a Thread Locked thread! Irony is alive and well, it turns out.

It's been a gradual recovery from this damned respiratory virus. Lack of nicotine may be the problem! I had some KBV Jim's Special Flake in a Sav, followed by some 2017 Rattray's Black Mallory in a Musicò pot, and then half a bowl of KBV Peaty Hunt in my Asteriou cutty. One more gig, then 2.5 weeks of vacation! Woohooooooo!

Going to have Wilke Pipe Tobacco Lizzie Blood Red English in a Grey Rossi Notte 8320 Author (by Savinelli).

 

[Cloozoe]

Dale and I are up and at 'em having already finished our respective day's chores.

I'm smoking a well-earned bowl of Anthology in a Dublin and he's inside hanging out.

 

[FoggyMorning]

Finish a jar of LNF, topped with a pinch of Evening Flake.

How is that Hampton? I’ve been curious for some time but as it’s no longer available I doubt I’ll get my hands on any unfortunately.

Morning smoke of HU Tobacco Dockworkers flake folded in an Ashton XX Pebble grain

Good morning everyone, starting the day with Germain’s 1820 Cross Cut Flake in a early 20th C French Clap nose warmer with horn stem and gold band.
