***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

You've got a real nice collection going. Nice get on that Moretti.

Hey thanks man. I’ve been mostly smoking my Tekin meer the past couple of months but I’ve got some other pipes. I have two Morettis now.

I actually almost sold the top one because the chamber is a bit large for me but I just started half packing it and I’m enjoying it more.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a third of the way through 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. Gold Star Gourmet Blend, neat, is my drink.

Going to have Ecuadorian Mapacho (Nicotiana Rustica) in a Peruvian ceremonial pipe typically used for smoking Mapacho or Ayahuasca, made from Chonta (Bactris Gasipaes—also known as Peach Palm, a hard Amazonian wood often used to make weapons), decorated with cross sections of Ayahuasca vines, while I work on some illustrations for the next issue of Weird Tales Magazine. Hopefully, I’ll get a decent amount of work done before I light up the big pipe(s) for tonight’s UFC PPV.

Gorgeous pipe, missed getting one from him which is a great lament of mine.

Thank you! Hated to see him stop making pipes as he did excellent work.

First try of Full Virginia Flake in the Brebbia. Let it dry for 45min to an hour. Nice slow burn with just a slight tingle. Will be curious to see what some age does.

For sure.

There is a similarity to your 3 pipes that's neat to see. Your style...

Half way through this bowl of Wilke beta test in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer billiard with a black ferrule and vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Watching The Lone Ranger, and writing beta notes on this blend.

Thank you!
I do kinda agonize over their selection. I'll be the first to admit they do not always get it right. But when they do...
