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

[dino]

I spent a couple of hours with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM pipe buddies as we posited solutions to all the problems of the world. It was daunting task, but we were strong and resolute.
I smoked my Upshall ring grain, rusticated, bent bulldog filled with Lancer's Slices. A mug of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Coffee went well with the smoke.

One of my favs that you post. Great shape, color and a killer blast. Most the Cavicchi pipes I see are smooth light pipes. This one rules them all.

A birthday bowl of Fireside Fable in my inaugural smoke of my first Peterson pipe gifted from my wife - a Peterson Short 406. Really enjoying this shape.

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).

Congratulations - that's a fine piece of arboriculture - and a well-earned pipe

WOW! WOW! DYNO-MITE! That little pipe is AWESOME!

Thank you! It’s a bit outside my normal realm of pretty classic British shaping cues. Af first glance, I couldn’t stand it. Then I kept coming back to look at it online until I couldn’t possibly bear to live without it

HU Tuarekh in a Paul Becker pot. I had to work on this pipe. Some ding bat drilled it out with a huge bit and it was like smoking air. Between the really wide chamber and a huge draw it didnt work. Now it does. That is one of the occasional let downs of estates.

Thank you Sigmund,
It’s been a great pipe. I’d definitely do another Cavicchi Blast.
Not as sexy as that Becker but it performs very well.

First try of Pirate Kate in the Peterson Derry 68. Wow - was expecting something along the lines of Ten Russians which tires my tongue relatively quickly, but no. Lot's of floral, spicy oriental, especially on the retrohale. Breaks apart and loads easily. Very nice.

Good morning everyone. I’m starting with a 3 Sails, 5 Brothers mixture, heavy on 3 Sails. I’m drinking Community Coffee medium roast black. I hope everyone has a great day.

Family is starting to roll in. They know that those who get here first get first choice of bedrooms, ha ha.

Decaff and some DSK in my Chacom Spigot, with memories of having to drag these kids out of bed to make them go to Church. Now, they dragging me, ha ha.
