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

[Doctor Chopper]

Yay! I'm back! My last eye recheck went well. I can now smoke my pipes again. And drive again. My first smoke after far too long is my first ever burn of Ennerdale, courtesy of a kind forum member, @FurCoat. Thank you very much sir! My initial impression is, I like it. Really pleasant tin(bag) note and room note. No tongue burn. I think i need to let it dry longer. Or find a blacksmith with a spare ember! It's only my first time with this tobacco of renown, but so far, it's favorable. View attachment 290010

Happy IPSD!
Earlier I enjoyed some 2011 Marlin Flake with a double Espresso and and a Steel cut oat, raisin cookie. Man, this aged baccy is sublime!

Just finished up my IPSD celebration with the 5” clay loaded with KBV, Patience of Dr. Silence (thanks @PrivatePiping )and an adult beverage.
Excellent pairing.

HH Latakia Flake with some Salty Dogs sprinkled in, in my Richard Mason Strawberrywood Poker.

The Salty Dog cubes definitely change it up, tone down the Lat a bit...

Picked 7.5 lbs of mushrooms a little earlier this evening. Mostly winter chanterelles but I was excited to find about 1 lb of hedgehog mushrooms. The third pic above shows the underside of the hedgehog mushroom which is pretty cool lookin’.

I also received my C&D Winchester sample in the mail and it’s a big yep from me. Very enjoyable and incredibly smooth. It reminds me a bit of Peter Stokkebye Natural Dutch Cavendish but with better leaf. Had some Pegasus this morning as well. Both in my Tekin.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this bowl of 2017 Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Excellent whiskey.

I’m waiting for this Ecuadorian Mapacho to dry a bit before I fire it up in my KB&B Marco Polo. Thanks @TheIronMonkey for the sample. It smells a lot like horse shit to me - I’ll be interested to see how that translates to favor and room note
