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

[Scottmi]

That time of week has arrived and it’s time to watch UFC Fight Night. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Folklore (2022, 805/1000) in an unbranded, unmarked, Magnum-sized Swan Neck LC (Large Curve) with a horn stem with an orific bit; this pipe is most likely French in origin, and may be from the late 19th or early 20th Century—it is curve drilled, has a bone tenon, and a cork mortise.

This might give a better idea of how large this pipe is:

Am curious to know how this blend smokes for you through the bowl. If found with the 2023 (when new at least) the flavors just went away about 1/2 way...

Finally getting back to a couple of pounds of Haddo’s I bought a year ago. Nice blend I kind of forgot about. In a Satou.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught blue catfish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the last quarter of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a smooth brown 1976 GBD Seventy Six 256 lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. First of this style that I bought in 1981 as an estate pipe. A freshly opened bag of Gold Star Yemen Red Mocha Harrazaa+, neat, is my drink.

No pipes yesterday - a very inclement 42centigrade (>105 farenheight)

Taking out a trio of Dunhill Billiards this afternoon

The first a 1972 straight billiard which was a generous gift from a mate when he found out I was getting back into pipes.
This was a new, unsmoked pipe, complete in its original box which was amongst a collection left to him by his father

And in it, a bowl of Dunhill My Mixture 965.
Also a gift by the same friend

^ gorgeous lineup. Also like whatever piece of burlwood you have them on.

Black & Gold in a different cob.



Every once in a while I do go full on Aro

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2010 Mac Baren Burley London Blend in a smooth medium bend 2011 Rinaldo Collection Fiammata Silver Line 7 Odea 04 flame grain bulldog with a silver band and a tortoise shell acrylic saddle stem. Just cleaned a few pipes.

About to crack into my cherished early 1960’s Edgeworth RR. Still smoking very nicely. Enjoying in my little Smith House Pipes natural bulldog. Great handmade American artist.

How’s the 23? My friend who was flying to NYC every week for work was laid off. I have no mule now. Asking my local B&M to bring some in as I’m not getting to the States for at least a couple months.
