***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***

Homemade Meerschaum smoking G.L. Pease Blackhouse
Not happy with the transition from stem to shank, it should be straight and smooth. That’s why it’s rattling around in my ‘shop pipe’ drawer. : )

Ya know, I like it for that very reason! Think it works - perhaps like a beautiful woman who has a crooked smile that makes her charm more alluring. I'd avoid surgery in this case!

Perfection Plug in my favorite pipe. Mastro de Paja Panel. Enjoying a beautiful day before cold weather returns tomorrow.

Half and half,...half Carter Hall, half Exclusive in my new pipe. Haven't kept one in five years!View attachment 371946

I was curious why you decided to keep this pipe as opposed to any others in the last five years. I was also wondering if there has been more than one “H” grade pipe made/released by you.

Thanks Gord! Good words.

I kept this one because I really liked the shape and it was completed on my nephew Jacobs birth, Nov 4th and it so happens to be the feast day of Saint Charles Borromeo. So, three good reasons to succumb to my weaknesses. Not that I haven't wanted to keep many,many more.
I believe there has only been one "H".

Now smoking year 2012 Carter Hall in an undated 1970s straight smooth dark brown H. Jones Ltd. Easy Loader (Dunhill shop made by Parker) 286 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in quite a while.

Thanks so much for all of the well wishes in regard to the new addition to my family. Just another reason that this is the best forum on the internet. I’ve been in va/per heaven the past few days finishing a jar of Sutliff match Victorian and smoking c&d exclusive.

Sunset Smoke of Amphora Kentucky in a Savinelli 111KS. I cant believe I passed on this tobacco so many times only to be interested in it now after basically my first smoke of it. It never ends. Why are they taking this off the market?Bunch of Philistines.

That's a keeper for sure!!

Thank you! I really like your CS Lewis quote, if that ain't the truth, I don't know what is
