***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***

[MrTom]

Good day folks, MacB Classic in a Peterson's.

 

[JimInks]

Part way through my last smoke of the day, which is Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Have a little more work to do.

That’s great. Thank you for helping them. ?. It’s truly sad it’s still accepted for them to be harassed and killed.

There’s a few around here and I love feeding/watching them, even my cats tolerate them to a degree.

A very cold Saturday morning in Western Massachusetts. First smoke of the day (out of two) is KBV Robo Burlesque in a large, bent bell meerschaum by F. Baki. Black coffee on the side with Arctic Outpost Radio in my headphones. If you like vintage 78s and big band jazz, this internet radio station is a treasure. May your days be merry and bright!

Started with C&D Mocha in a eagle claw meer. I’m now breaking up some Navy Rolls for a nic hit in the MM Morgan. One of the cats opened the bedroom window in the night and it was 37 degrees F in there when I got up, trying to warm up now with some coffee.

Oh yeah. I just told my wife it was one of the most pleasurable smokes I’ve ever had. As for the pipe, I wish I had six more. It’s a flake and plug smoking machine, and it’s stamped as REJECT. I’d like to see how a perfect F&T pipe smokes. The shape is what I’d consider an Arne Jacobsen or there about.

I've only got one F&T pipe but never got around to smoking it as it's a bit of a monster in terms of its size.

I see that, like most Peterson pipes with the green stain eventually do, your is starting to show the green stain fading to brown.

The longevity of the green stain seems to be the poorest in my experience . . . not just on Peterson pipes but on other brands including the Ben Wade 'Rainbow Collection' from the late 1970s and on Sullivan Powell churchwardens from the same period - the former, maybe thanks to its rusticated finish, has maintained some green patches but the smooth Sullivan Powell only retains about 1cm square of green on the bowl face which just looks sad.

Good morning Gent , smoking a bowl of Kendal dark into my ropp 347T .

I don’t think the brown spots in my picture is color fading. It is accumulation of tobacco tars.
I do agree that the color is fading, and it is lighter than it used to be. I have seen pictures of others who have the same pipe, and their stain has faded, so that would be the eventual fate of mine as well. Mine survived so far, as I smoke slowly.

Pipes with red staining do that as well, that’s why I never take mine out into the sunlight.

Several year old STG Drexel VIII in a Peterson Kinsale XL 11.

Have a great day, gentlemen.

Enjoying some more of that MacBaren Burley London Blend in a Custombilt Original...the ugliest pipe I own IMHO. But, it tends to smoke extremely well and feels fantastic in the hand. So I who cares what it looks like.️

Finishing up last night's bowl of GLP Embarcadero, thinking some 'burley' next...drinking black coffee and considering an attempt at making croissants.

 

[mso489]

Last night, Royal Yacht in a Ropp Tonic smooth straight apple with a hand-cut tapered raspberry colored-stem and thin double silver-colored bands. Tasty blend, snappy pipe.

Gold Block in a cob with coffee, pretty good rainstorm going on.
