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

[gord]

My early morning smoke, a favourite wake up call to clear the brain. Bengal Slices in the MQ Miniature Acorn. This combo works great together and so I've paired them.

Bob’s Square Cut in the meer

 

[gord]

Taking a cold coffee break and a couple of slices of ryecrisp with banana and chopped raw cashews. Just about finished my AGM report for tonight's meeting, so fiddling at the computer (I was anyway) and, as I had the photo and pipes lying around from the other day, did a re-smoke this morning of the same thing. Backwoods Buttered Rum (my favourite of that mongrel breed) in a McQ miniature, and my home mix Cherry Balkan in the Falcon. The mix is getting a minor but needed overhaul in the next batch. Too much lat overwhelming the cherry. For those of you interested, Catp Black Cherry Cavendish by itself is a la coughdrop intensity. But it's a great mixer. Gussied up the picture in holiday garb.

This along with the Caporal Export are my very favorite among tabacs brun francaises, this St Claude has a bit of Virginias in it yet slightly topped with tonka has broader cut than Caporal. As a side note, all of these Tabac Gris*(/Dark shag cut) are done by Barens company and the quality has been up since they took over the production, now it remains to see what will happen to these traditional blends when STG takes over

Absolutely, one of the few blends that have been improved by the danes. And it is one of the cheapest available here in France.

 

[JimInks]

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[PipeIT]

No clips just a wildly swirled stem.

I've had it for about 3 years. No more pipes, on a fixed income now.

Thank you. I found the original 1890s design on the web, downloaded and printed it, and stuck it on an old repurposed tin. I work as a costumed interpreter at a heritage farm showing farming life circa 1900, and this is also why most of my pipes will pass muster as Victorian. I like to get the details right.

That’s neat

 

[Roach1]

very unique pipe! I like it!!

It is an unusual shape and could use a buff. Smoke well.

 

[Roach1]

That is truly an ugly pipe! Like my dog. Love it!! You're on a roll this morning.

The photo doesn't do it justice. I don’t take very could photos. Had to have it redrilled and now it's ok.

 

[dottlejockey]

Moving into the afternoon with some business calls and a wafting bowl of ODF in an SMS to keep my hands warm while i'm at it.
