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

Scottie Piersel

Thank you!

Just read a little about her and her pipes! Was wondering if if I could own such a pipe without breaking it. She lines those long stems with SS so I bet I can! Have to put one of those on my wish list.

I’m interested to hear your comments on the The Patience of Dr. Silence compared to 1792 flake? I’ve never tried 1792, but will definitely be ordering more Dr. Silence.
Also, very nice design for a sling mount.

After one smoke: nothing like 1792DKF. The PoDs tastes (to me) fresh out of bag like upscale Half and Half, especially halfway through onward. Good stuff, but I won’t be going deep.
Thx on the sling mount.

@Sobrbiker ,
Thanks for the feedback. I guess I need to go read a tobacco review for 1792 to get a better idea on the flavor. I’ll have to keep on the lookout and snag a tin of 1792 whenever it is available.
I have a nice set of leather tools and enjoy making belts and other small projects. Very enjoyable hobby and provides practical products and solutions that are IMHO more aesthetic or handsome and if properly cared for, as durable as nylon or plastic.

Earlier, I smoked a bowl of unreleased 2021 Sutliff VaPer in a mid-2000 decade Tom Eltang straight black sand blasted canted AJ Dublin with a cream and brown horn ferrule, and a tapered black acrylic stem.


Currently, I'm just finishing this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Is this a new “can” or are you “danger close” to running out of Maple Shadows!
Side note: whenever I read the name of this tobacco, I can’t help, but think of the old radio show “The Shadow”. Only the Shadow knows. Maybe I’m dating myself?

Agree with bluegrassbrian. Patience of Dr. Silence is very good. The Tonquin is not as pronounced as in 1792.
Patience is more subtle than 1792.

Thanks, appreciate the input!

Dangerously close to empty, I only got the one can, it's partway down the Sutliff logo at the bottom, about 1.5 to 2 oz or so left.

As much as I love it, I have so many blends waiting to be tasted. For example, I bought one each of the 6 in the Caribbean Blue series by K&K and I've only had one of them so far. There's also others that have been open a while, my JA Dragon Flake isn't even half gone and it's been open almost a year now.

I'd be able to get through tasting more blends faster (I don't want too many open at once, especially of aros that will lose luster over time) if I had the time to smoke more than an average of maybe 1.25 bowls per day.
