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

[Jwebb90]

Just opened a fresh tin of Marlin Flake. Smoking it in a George Boyadjiev billiard.

LBF in Stanwell Authentic.

Second bowl in the meer today. Old gowrie with some orange juice. Listening to some podcasts.

Trying out a new mixture: 50/50 Solani Tropical Mango and SG Balkan Flake (in a trusty MM corncob):

#639 is from 2019 - I'm not tasting much difference from fresh, the Balkan Flake is from 2012 (and looking ashy with age) but taste wise the difference is subtle.

Good morning all! Starting with Elizabethan Mixture in a Tilshead Billiard with eight-bent saddle stem. John72 - please don't feel embarrassed by a little venting; many of us are going through - or have been through - the very same things you are facing. UncleRasta says it well with "wishing you and you family all good things."

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.

The Chinook prompted me to head out and smoke a bowl before sunrise.

This is my Radice Rind filled with a 50/50 blend of Sutliff Victorian Match and C&D Pirate Kake (thoroughly chopped and rubbed, blending this stuff turned my hands black), I call it "Victorian Privateer".
I still say Pirate Kake smells like burning hair, but it is a good Lat Bomb and blends well with a sweet VaPer like Victorian Match.

Good afternoon. No smoking so far. Now it's my wife's turn with covid. But she only has a sore throat and her blood sugar is a bit out of control because of the covid, as she is diabetic. So I don't want her to be uncomfortable smelling of tobacco. I can handle it, I admit I miss not being able to smoke something. There came a bad time in my life. After many years, I lost my job. And it is quite humiliating and frustrating. After almost 30 years working. Spain is the most unemployed country in the European Community. Since the eighties, until today, the cavernicola employment system of this country is disgusting. Now I have already said it, I could not hold my rage and my anger any longer. Sorry guys. I am sorry to talk about this, I am ashamed.

Best of luck to you and your lady.

I don't buy pipes any more, but I would make an exception for that one.

Did a set of walking reps on this sunny day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.

Praying for you and your wife. Hope your situation improves soon, and your wife recovers quickly. God Bless you both.

Now smoking aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-1952 (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

The end of a 4 day vacay, smoking one last bowl before heading off to work. Peterson Flake in a Moretti.

 

[Steddy]

Davidoff Flake Medallions.
Savinelli 321.
I’m going to spend some time smoking this, Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls, and Escudo. A victor will emerge I think. So far my bet would be on Davidoff.
