***What Are You Smoking? January 2020.***

On the ride into work this morning was some Amphora Original in this Cassano Calabach:

Will finish the rest on the ride home tonight.

That's a cool looking pipe.

That's a cool looking pipe.

Thanks! I've had it for many years.

Woke up to a surprise!

So I loaded up some coins of Synjeco Holker Twist that had been airing overnight into my Zombie Cavalier?‍

Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a Savinelli Trevi 320. This is my first time smoking this blend in this pipe, and I'm not sure if it is because of the wider bowl or what, but the flavors have opened up and are more apparent than usual.

Just finished a bowl of Mixture No. 79 in a Stanwell pot, the Sixten Iversson pot that looks like a short bent Dublin, and packed for later a Jerry Perry pocket pipe pot/tomato with a thick shank and thick amber stem, with C'est La Vie vanilla aromatic. It's an aromatic day for me, but tobacco forward.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am having another go at HU Tobacco Aus dem Krater Plug in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic tapered stem. Wanted to see what a briar pipe does for the flavor as I'm working on this review.

Once again... this Rimboche AP is becoming my all day smoke today. This time in the diamondback Savinelli. For a second, I thought I sounded like Matches860. I haven't written anything on it here, but I loved watching his videos late at night and just smoking a pipe. I did this every couple of nights for a few months now. I'm never going to forget him, and any time I read the word "matches", in my head I'll probably hear "matcheeeees". ?

Rest in peace.

curious what you think of it!? I haven't cracked mine open yet.

I like it quite a bit. I do find the dark fired to be a little more obvious than others do, and the perique not as potent as it could be, but I don't think there's a whole lot of it in the mix.

Listing this a few minutes early so I can concentrate on work for a while: Ken Byron Ventures Burley Morning Pipe in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem.
