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

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and have passed the first third of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

A chamber full of GLP Cairo in a Pierluigi fishtail before prepping some beef and pork ribs for the grill. Gonna be a Bordeaux kinda night, methinks.

 

[Pooh-Bah]

My meers rest, until the cheap and filthy estates I bought from Goodwill arrive in the mail. So that I can clean them, and know if that's cake I'm scraping at, or if I'm destroying my pipes.
Meanwhile, a cob of Nat Sherman 314 (which I bought at a B&M a few years ago and finally decided to start on)

Haunted Bookshop in the Grabow Lark for me this afternoon, which I rarely ever smoke since both Burley and Perique really disagree with my mouth chemistry and both give me a sore throat almost every time I smoke them, but I'll be darned if Haunted Bookshop isn't my all time favorite blend flavor wise so I still smoke it every now and then even though I know I probably shouldn't! Haunted Bookshop is just too good not to enjoy at least once in a blue moon!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking and reviewing KBV Pork Chops and Apple Sauce 2024 in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Ismail made this meer for me as a token of friendship. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side supervising my review.

It’s probably cake. The meerschaum is harder than you think to scrape away unless it’s in a wet pipe that you just smoked.

I personally don’t scrape my meers down to the point that I would be nervous about scraping away the meer itself. I leave 1-2mm

Dang that thing is dark as hell!

I’m on bowl 390. It’s getting there! It’s held up nicely for all the hell I’ve put it through!

@Sobrbiker best I can tell the 312 is a Republic era pipe. Of course that spans 60 years so yeah

Beef ribs on the grill and apples baking in the oven. Time for a smoke break.

Boy has it been a week so far! Wife is in Gatlinburg with friends, in-laws watching kiddos and still working 12hr days while the cold weather creeps back on us...

Luxury Navy Flake in the EWA Pirate, some green tea and burning trash before bed. Keep Manhattan, just gimme that countryside

Real nice. New?It's a couple of years old now. Doesn't make the rotation as much as it should.

Thank you! It's a couple of years old. It doesn't make the rotation as much as it should.
