***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

[BenMN]

Afternoon,
Thank you, Abe does fantastic work
and I was really happy with this commission being I can never find a Dunhill LB that flips the bill and I don’t think @JimInks is coming off his 1924 nor @wilblee either
That piece of briar was from Dimitri Miscoi for a magnetic stand.
Hope all is well up your way.
It’s cold here in Virginia today but probably feels like the Bahamas for what you’re accustomed to

Thanks man!
Winter wonderland up here- just got our first proper snow a few days ago

Perfect billiard is a beautiful thing. Glad it all worked out

The last scraps of the PS41 mixed with Pegasus. It's not good

A wee dram, and 2015 Firestorm in my Anniversary Mark Tinsky Morta with a Sleeping Beauty mine turquoise band. My step son and I are watching some Quiet Man in the tube. Great fight scene, it may not be 21st century standards, but funny as hell.

@Chasing Embers I’m glad to see it has held up. Cheers to the old guard, Cap’n.

Going to have Savinelli 140° in my 60th Birthday pipe, a virgin, sandblasted Savinelli Autograph Extraordinaire (Eccezionale) Fan* while I catch up on the 2024/2025 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.

After some consideration, I thought this special pipe warranted getting a Savinelli IM Corona Briar Old Boy to pair with it:

That’s a beautiful pipe and great back story to go with it!

Wild birds or farmed ?
In any case, they are free range

Another evening bowl tonight - this time it's Billy Budd. It's chill, below 60, but I'm prepared: wearing socks and having a glass of whiskey besides me.

Finishing the day with some Cult BRM in my La Rocca by the fire.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Started with some 1792/Coniston Cut Plug I mixed, then had a few smokes of Ryback+P in the workhorse Ropp J11P.
We’ve had one horrible palo verde I’ve been putting off dealing with, but today was the day. Before, during and after (both trailers are in the first picture, believe it or not).

On a chilly afternoon, smoked some Sun Bear Black Locust 2024 in an unknown Dublin (I think

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful large pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, mushroom, and black olive pizza dinner with a big slice of peach pie and a small bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'd tell you what I had for lunch, but it'd only depress you skinny people. Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth dark brown 1916 Barling The Hunt with beautiful silver work and a black vulcanite saddle stem with an orific bit. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

A couple of African Kiko meers today


1st up is the carved one.
I haven’t smoked this in quite a while and it has lightened in colour significantly.

With a bowl of The Country Squire “Cowboy Coffee”
One of 3 very generous samples from Robin aka @SunriseBoy
