***What Are You Smoking, February 2023?***

[JimInks]

Took a break to eat a tasty golden delicious apple, and in a few minutes, I'll be smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Final smoke for the day is 2017 Dunhill Navy Rolls in a Rubio Author.

Second smoke of the day

A Danish era Stanwell Shape 24 Dublin/Belge

The original longish straight saddle stem was horribly oxidised internally, so I got a replacement acrylic stem with a 1/8 bend made by The Danish Pipe Shop

The lower photo shows the pipe with its original stem.

A bowl of W.O.Larsen Signature

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a Stanwell Royal Castle 191 Bent Bulldog and a cup of Cafe Verona coffee.

A couple of minutes or so from smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

I’m just sittin here “listening to the rain”. Shout out to whoever knows that song and who sang it. Old Joe Krantz in a cob with some Elijah Craig to keep Old Joe company.

[Briar Tuck]

that is such a cool little pipe!

Thanks! I love bulldogs and the carving and rustication on this one is pretty neat.

 

[Scottmi]

Man I just had to take a break from the Flakes. Reiner Professional in the ~1950s Schowa Selected Briar (Algerian?) to wind down the evening. Learned lots today in the comments about briars from the thread @milk started. Good stuff!

 

[JimInks]

Heading toward the half way mark on this bowl of 2021 Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Went outside to feed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave. They don't like the rain, and Daisy snuck in, and disappeared somewhere in the house. Tomato wasn't so quick, and I managed to keep the poor little fella from coming in. We have shelter for him and Daisy, but I know he must wonder why he can't come in. Makes me feel a lot of irritation ( a "nice" word compared to what I'm really feeling) toward their "owners" when something like this happens.

@Scottmi Looks like it would suit my clays!

@halfdan the virginia 507c are slices of heaven!

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Going to have Cornell & Diehl Dreams of Kadath in a Stanwell Authentic Raw 95 Pot.

 

[Scottmi]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the half way mark on this bowl of Watch City Old Dominion Flake 25th Anniversary in a late 50s, early 60s Comoy’s straight smooth dark brown Deluxe 20 billiard with a silver cap military mount and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

@Scottmi @UB 40 Do you think it would suit the King's clay?

 

[The Clay King]

Having some Mac Baren Virginia Flake in my unfinished Sav with some scotch. View attachment 201867

@Laurent Sounds like it would suit my clays!

 

[Backwoods Briar]

Wilke 179 in my IPM meer, it’s late night here. Having some herb tea and honey. This will be my last smoke for today.
