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

[VDL_Piper]

Good morning one and all. Tomorrow I’m heading off to the big smoke of Hobart to have a look about whilst on holidays. This is always a dangerous ploy from my better half because it means I have to talk and interact with people instead of the farm dogs which can lead to me using rather descriptive language on urbanite’s who start to seek their safe space when I address them. Should be fun, what can possibly go wrong.

Anyway’s my morning smoke is Telegraph Hill in one of my #33’s

I’d been meaning to do this, @PaulRVA talked me into it. Just laying out all my pipes to see where I want to go. I do not have many, just 21. I need to triple this number!
Not a great shot but whatever… I’ll be smoking ODF in a Scovgaard soon.

Why do you think you need to triple it? That's a nice collection. I have around 80 to 100 pipes. 90% plus of the time, I smoke less than 20 of them. And I could easily make that number 12. If you want to buy 60 pipes, have a happy. But in no way do you "need" that many.

That’s amazing. I’ve wanted a Pete Meer for close to 40 years and I have never seen one of those.

Off to do a set of walking reps with a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Having some Warped Red Hunt in a Rattrays Goblin billiard. Spent the morning/early afternoon painting, took a nap, and now watching Slow Horses.

Crispy Anthology 2023 in a Savinelli. Accidentally left a bowl worth out overnight. I prefer this one with some moisture.

KBV Burley Morning Pipe in my MM cutty, with a nice cappuccino - this is some damn good stuff! I’m a sucker for a chocolatey, nutty burley in the morning with my coffee (my very first blend was amphora original aroma, which is very much in that vein). Going to have to order some more this year, it’s going into the rotation for sure. You’ve got me hooked @TN Jed



How do you find this years anthology? I’ve got a few tins coming in later today that I’ve been looking forward to in a big way.

The BMP and a coffee makes for a great start to a lazy weekend day. Glad you're enjoying it. The Anthology is the current favorite in my rotation.

21 quality pipes by the looks of it. Fine pipe porn you got there.

Dunbar in the Altinay with a locally brewed Brown Ale. It’s a gloomy cold day perfect for couch surfing and football.

Enjoying some Ennerdale flake in a early 80's? GBD Ellipse Billiard with brass accents and vulcanite stem after long day of shopping with the family. Ennerdale is my first Lakeland blend and I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

Started the day with WCC American Cut Plug
