Somewhere on this tins journey to my doorstep it got dropped and the seal popped. May as well smoke some! PPN 309

Stokkebye Danish Gold in a Nording hand made, tea and a book. Maybe a nap after. View attachment 372587

I always love a good Nording! Beautiful specimen. Just about to fill a bowl full in one of mine.

Sam's Flake in my Viprati Sabbiata. Le Weekend is here!

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I've obviously been on a Nording kick the last couple of days and here's another. Nording Grade 15 filled with Queen Anne's Revenge. Dr Pepper is the beverage of choice tonight, and Hell On Wheels once again the entertainment.

Bang!! Awesome Radice!

Thank you! Got it used here on the forum recently. I try my hardest to heat it up puffing on some aromatics but it just smokes cool as can be

 

[Bbailey324]

C&D Kajun Kake in a Peterson Derry 69. Seems this pipe has pretty much been dedicated to KIK for the last couple of weeks.

I was out the full day from early morning but did manage to sneak in a bowl of Daughter’s and Ryan Three Sails in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard

Now it is cigar time: Oliva Serie V Melanio

 

[BurleyVonPuffington]

C&D Small Batch Eight State Burley in a Genod bent brandy, smooth with bone stem. And since it's new and this is only the second time I'm putting it up, I'd give more info. about the pipe if Genod bothered to put it on there, lol.

This one is for BurleyVonPuffington, again with many thanks. I'm going to repeat the post he put up on tobacco ph et al, and suggest that if you skipped it, have a look at it again . . . . explanation under link.

How a tobacco can be differant with each smoke :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/how-a-tobacco-can-be-differant-with-each-smoke.51825/post-35566367

Being of a suicidal experimental bent, I read and pdf'd the article, and immediately began to test it. I'm "redoing" all of my pipes, smoking my brains out, and was doing a bit of suffering, until (and as all of you have heard my whining before about tongue bite, I'll give you the whine with some cheese.)

The ph suggestions in this article WORK!! They are science based and effective!

I took some apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon, and put it in a cup of filtered water, added a pinhead of stevia to it, and alternated this as a beverage with my usual cold coffee. After SEVEN consecutive pipes, (I almost never smoke consecutive pipes), resetting them with Smokers' Pride Whiskey Tobacco, my usual and effective fodder for breaking in pipes, drinking the tart and tasty apple cider vinegar beverage, sleeping soundly and having 4 more pipes this morning, I had no trace of tongue bite, my lips felt great, and I felt that I should pass this on, as I know many of you suffer from the same recreational hazard.

I will pass on also that hypochlorus spray instantly relieves the pain of tongue bite, and biotin helps as well. Going back to finishing up my pipe cleanse. Interesting stuff to report here as well, probably tomorrow.

APPLAUSE! Thank ye, kind Sir! Glad it's working for you.

Chenet’s cake for my first smoke in this new Cornelius Manz pipe I picked up from scandpipes.com. It was one of a batch made for the website’s 25th anniversary.

 

[Sobrbiker]

Trying out the other pipe I swapped into that arrived today, a nicely blasted Kriswill Golden Clipper #1830. Smoking really well with Ryback+P.
Bob is freaking out still that his sister isn’t here-she’s been by his side from the day we got him.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Community Coffee,neat, is my drink. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's lap. Daisy the Feral Princess is snoozin' by my feet. Everybody else is outside.
