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

[Sobrbiker]

Well, I think I got air in the pump…all new fluid and filters and zero hydraulics on the tractor. Rather than breaking things, I cleaned up and will revisit tomorrow.
Now finishing incinerating a bunch of boxes. Funny, the CAO lattice Dublin was my choice last time I burned trash. This time it’s Irish Flake.
Then on to fuel the manure factory…

Last one of the work day before I eat dinner. Early 1880s meerschaum pipe with gold filigree band and full amber stem probably by either an Austrian or Parisian pipe maker. It is a well colored pipe from years of smoking and before anyone asks that is not 'Ox Blood' but a very pleasing 'turd color' on steroids caused by damp plug or twist with the oils being soaked up by the pipe. My before dinner pipeful is a bowl of Cannon Plug kindly sent to me by a charming gentlemen on this forum. I'll see you all later before I head to bed as I have a massive salad waiting for me.

That is a truly beautiful pipe.

I’m in a festive mood, so pulled out some ‘21 Cringle and filled one of my new favourites, a Peterson Canadian. Now that January is over, I’m often enjoying Elijah’s company as I contemplate life.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing the first third of this bowl of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Off to work now.

Sutliff 507C in a Missouri Meerschaum while I let my Savinelli rest. The MM is a nice pipe but man this sucker gets hot.



Interesting note on the 507C. I bought it about a year ago as my first pure Virginia and then stopped smoking right after that. So due to me not smoking a pipe for a long time I managed to age it a year.

I found it flavorless and boring a year ago. I thought Virginias weren’t for me. But today? I’m in love with it. Bright, spicy, delicious. The scent of it is fantastic.

Do I have to wait a year every time I want a pure Virginia or are there other tobaccos out there that will give me more of this right out of the tin?

Finally got around to breaking in my J.M. Boswell rusticated bent apple estate pipe I purchased several months ago.
I packed it with Northwoods of course. A match made in heaven!
As one might imagine, the pipe smoked perfectly.

I'm a big fan of Union Square. I like it fresh as well as 15 years old.

Smoking some from late '22 in this little Castello

@Hillcrest said clean this guy up and smoke it. That’s what I did. Gonna stuff the Briar Friar full of the bottom of my can of From Beyond. View attachment 289836

He looks happier already ! We know from which Beyond he's happiest !

Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Listening to the first episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar from my radio collection.

Peretti No.8 Slice in the Pete Short Army Pot, and coffee.

I may have to find a pot to go with my 102. Almost all my pipes have .75”x~1.5” chambers-need to broaden my horizons as my tobak stash widens.

Savinelli Essenza Cipriota from June 2014 in a Dunhill Millennium Shell from 2000

C&D Winchester in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft. Still picking apart the flavors, looking for a definition for the topping.

 

[Sandblast]

Missouri Pride (straight) with a piece of balsam filter given to me to try by a new friend in Pipe Club.
McClelland Virginia Woods = red VA, bright VA & stoved black VA. This combo is really nice & I'm sipping an Angry Orchard Hard Cider alongside. Hmm .... guess things could be worse.
