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

[The Clay King]

I have faith in you -- no nicotene lozenges required! Also, just because you're not smoking it for a few weeks doesn't mean you still can't stock up at the Buxton Crescent tobacconist. It's all about will-power, that's all...

@MCJ My problem is they don't just sell tobacco they sell clay pipes as well; I could too easily buy a clay pipe and tobacco and smoke it!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am close to finishing 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. Lavazza Espresso, neat, is my drink.

Now smoking KBV Diogenes Club 2023 beta test in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a tapered dark tortoise shell colored acrylic stem. Going over my beta notes.

G&H 1792 Flake in a MM Mark Twain along with a mug of black tea. Hopefully I'll be able to finish before the forecasted "Wintery Mix" arrives

Escudo in a 1947 Dunhill 35/1 F/T Patent Shell Billiard. Trusty Rodgers of Sheffield pipe tool and vintage 1950's Nimrod Commander pipe lighter accompanying.

I've smoked this pipe different times of the day with different blends, but it "speaks" to me most when used as a morning VaPer pipe so that is what I think I'll dedicate it to/for...

What a classic combo

Thanks. I just love the older Dunhill Patent Shell briars -- the craggy texture of the shell finish in those older pipes just looks & feels so good, and they have always proven to be good smokers for me personally...

Nightcap x Stanwell DM 2004 straight, saddle-stem, sandblasted billiard

Smoking a Bent Marxman Mel-O with Telescopes. Second bowl of the day with the same blend and pipe. Shoutout to Rich at Briarville. He did an excellent job exercising the old ghosts from the stummel by brush cleaning and ozone. I can taste the tobacco and nothing else in this old American estate pipe made of Algerian

PC Match Elizabethan, Virginia/Perique, in a BC Caprice 1303 bent billiard, rusticated with a silver-color band and a raspberry colored stem. Been writing bills, walking them up to the mailbox for exercise, and including a condolence note to the family of a friend in church, who was our plant guru, a keeper of chickens for egg laying, and an activist for a Central American town the church sponsors. He's survived by his wife who is a talented artist, and two sons. It's in the 80's in central N.C. today, short sleeve weather.

Escudo in a new blasted Baskerville. (Smoking pipes and their IPSD sale got the best of me.)

@jakesmokes I've been smoking some Escudo in my clay pipes; I like the cut although the coins are too big to fit in my clay pipe so I rub them out like a flake tobacco. It looks very well suited to clays!

 

[The Clay King]

We Three Kings in a vintage natural Lorenzo Sponge Chimney. This is a light and thinner walled pipe. The dark spot is not a shadow, but probably where I scorched it in the last couple smokes.. will try to ease this one along and see if I can keep it cool.

@Scottmi That's a pipe I'd smoke if it was made of clay

Wind is crazy here in New Mexico. 35-40 mph continuous with gusts from 50-60. Had a quick 12 minute smoke of some Dark Fired Kentucky mixed with straight Virginia in a MM Mizzou.

Just finished up a bowl of St James Flake in my Peterson,

@Jacob74 Do you think it would suit my clay pipes?

Sounds like our typical winter weather here on the Oregon coast.

Is this gunpowder or clay pipe smoke???
