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

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2001 Murray’s Dunhill Navy Rolls in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. It's still cold and raining, and for the second time this evening, Harry the Hairy came around food and attention. He got both. In fact, both times he was so hungry that I doubled what I would normally feed him, and Harry ate every single morsel. I wish I could let him inside.

Ongoing Penzance tasting out of different pipes

This afternoon a couple of Moretti Rhodesians - identical size and shape, one briar and the other morta

I texted Marco asking if he had any Bulldogs and he sent a pic of these two which he had just finished making. I couldn’t make up my mind, so I ended up with both

1st up is the briar

[Backwoods Briar]

Smoking some of my old favorite, Benjamin Hartwell's Evening Stroll in a Blatter & Blatter bent. One red dot.

I've been MIA for a few months. Life got busy. (I am also a soap maker and that has been occupying my time constantly.. At one point in the recent past I had 500 bars of soap in my house.) Anyway, thought I would drop in and see how things were going. I see you been getting along just fine without me. LOL

Now where did I put the folder with all my pipe pics in it?

Good to have you back @Beowoulf !

Enjoyed a big and tasty golden delicious apple, and passing the quarter mark of this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Mr. Christian’s Brown Flek 2021 in a 1984 smooth brown full bend Peterson Mark Twain military mount egg with a silver cap and tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

[OzPiper]

A 2nd bowl of Penzance

In a Moretti quarter-bent Rhodesian, acrylic stem



This 2nd bowl was sublime - complex with incense and almost a hint of menthol (?)

Was it the morta ?
Was it a tighter pack ?
Was it just illusionary ?
Whatever it was, I enjoyed that 2nd bowl immensely

That there is some straight up alchemy. How was it?

 

[BenMN]

Today's lineup:
2017 Haunted Bookshop in a Lord Kirk

Dark Birds Eye, then Five Brothers in this unfinished cob. I've been working through 4oz of the DBE I bought a few years ago, and I have to admit it is really growing on me

Now on to some relatively fresh (Dec. '22) Union Square in a kk vergin.

Best wishes from strangely snow-free St. Paul
