***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
- Thread starter JimInks
- Start date
Another afternoon pruning apple trees and sawing logs for seasoning... so, a break with the Peterson Irish Army 999 and Peterson's Irish Cask with a little MacBaren's HH Old Dark Fired in the bottom, plus a mug of rooibos. I was joined by the neighbour's cat, Little Miss (as Warrior Princess Cassie wasn't there to chase her away). Little Miss is an utter tart: she would have me believe that she loves me most in the whole world, but it was only because her feet were cold. Anyway, she didn't stay long on my lap: I think it's the Perique she dislikes. Next time, I'll see if she prefers the Old Dark Flake on its own.

HU Director's Cut in the Gefapip Giant with morning coffee.
Pegasus in the Devil Cutty. I’m not sure where my taste buds have been but they’ve shown up today! Everything I’ve smoked today, no matter the pipe, has been excellent. Whatever it may be that has spurred the change, I like it!
Il Ceppo, match Ready Rub with a mix of Whiskey Twist.
Having what has become for me a rare afternoon pipe. Exclusive in a Peterson 2023 Christmas Canadian. Smoking ribs for our men's night at church. 
Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. One of these days I may pick something different for a first smoke to see if anybody gets a fainting spell. 
A second bowl (not usual for me) in the same day, Stanwell Melange in the 2019 annual pipe of the Greek Pipe Club made by George Leoussis. On the side a mug with red, fruity, spicy, hot drink...
Be well good people!

Went in to get my coffee this morning and found a package on the porch. Must have showed up last night and i missed it due to my late arrival and direct path from truck to smoking lounge. So, after a little Pegasus in a Fatih to get the day going, i unboxed this and am happy to try a new medium. Never had an olive wood before.
Inaugural smoke: Sav 145th Anniversary in the Rattray's olive wood Butcher Boy.
The shorter stem has an inclusion which is inhibiting air flow, so i'll smoke the longer stem this time around and give that some attention in the shop later today.

Again with the Stanwell/MOB 079 (typo’d “089” last post), now with Samuel Gawith Kendal Plug/Black XX mix.
After lunch bowl of Watch City's 558 Flake in a La Rocca basket. First time smoking this blend and it gave me a great first impression. Might have to make time for another bowl of it this evening.
Smokes of today.
Early morning pipe in the j11p. This stuff is good, but the aftertaste is sour(??)
HU Aus dem krater plug , i cant compare this stuff to anything tbh: unique and good.
