***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***

WTH - he was just back and sure seemed engaged and appropriately energetic

And obnoxious…

- hope @BROBS (I keep trying to tag him and it won't let me,

Your first clue…

but I did anyway) gets back.

Edit: it worked!

I wouldn’t hold my breath…

 

[craig61a]

That sucks if Brobs got punted

Keepin it Classy…

The Virginia navy flakes with a pinch of black cavendish taste great but they're overpowering my lungs making me cough. Definitely a sipper sort of smoke. Moving on to the Killarney mix. I call it micro blending. Opening a fresh Red Diamond. If this doesn't work I'll probably just smoke an aromatic and call it a night?

A very simple lunch of steak and salad today, and a mug of black chai.

Finishing up that sample of Samuel Gawith St. James flake
In a Carlo Scotti Sea Rock shape 93 which I found as a NOS.

WCC Deluxe Crumb Cut in restored Peterson 312. Oban 18 for sips. Thinking this doesn’t suck. Contemplating a purchase.

C&D Burley Flake #1 in a Stanwell 83.

Okay the PS Navy Flake and Killarney was much friendlier and a good strong tobacco smoke. I'm dumping the dottle running a couple pipe cleaners through the pipe and going to use it again for a small bowl of Grand Prix Killarney. That's going to be the end of the line for tonight.

Aged Burley Flake in a Brebbia Serie 1960 lovat

 

[mso489]

C&D Old Joe Krantz original (Elderly Joseph) in a Jerry Perry straight tapered panel billiard, smooth with a rusticated panel on the back of the bowl for a tactile flourish. One of my favorite C&D English burley blends, after buckwheat pancakes made from scratch by my wife served with maple syrup, all of which I inhaled in about seven minutes, including seconds. Ah. i did the dishes. Water and bergs are my beverage.

The 1st bowl of well-rubbed out SG St James Flake smoked to the end with no relights.
Moreover the full bent Castello full bent Shape 93 passed a cleaner fully with minimal jiggling, so the drilling was impressive. Peterson - please take note.

A 2nd bowl of MacBaren HH Arcadian Perique - another Perique blend.
In another Italian pipe - a Savinelli Silver Shape 616 KS

An old square tin of Dunhill Flake I've had in a jar for a couple years and occasionally crack open and enjoy. Lighting it up in my Peterson army mount 120 Dublin. I generally enjoy more red or stoved VA, but a light flake with some age on it can be a wonderful thing.

Bob’s Chocolate Flake in a Savinelli 412 KS.

Old Dominion 25th Anniversary Flake in an Alden.

 

[cshubhra]

Cracked open another Esoterica tin - This time a tin of Pembroke purchased September 2017.

I was not sure what pipe to smoke this in as I don’t smoke English aromatic often - Finally chose a Markus Fohr Old German Clay Cutty With Vulcanite stem
