***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl left of Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

I normally have a burley with my 0-dark-thirty morning coffee. This morning I went with C&D Exclusive, having had it for the first time yesterday.

 

[JimInks]

Did a little snacking, fed two ferals, and my cats, and am a quarter of the way through my last smoke of the day: Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel cap with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit. Reading while this bowl lasts.

Happy new year everybody, with health, good heart and a little luck.

Finishing the Amphora Special Reserve Black Cavendish. In the "Olivecob". Just an olivewood bowl and a bamboo stem - no glue. Made in Rhodes island, by Epsilon2 pipes.

Have a good Sunday.

Good morning all. I’m smoking KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a cob. Coffee with bourbon cream on the side. It’s 60f degrees and pouring rain at the moment, as a front pushes through, bringing an end to the springlike temperatures we’ve experienced for the past week.

That's one of my favorite blends. I might not have tried it if one of the members hadn't sent some with a pipe I purchased from them. Now I'm hooked.

A perfect match with a cuppa joe. Great way to start the day!
The good news is that it’s one blend he tends to keep in stock.

Just had a look at the Jamestown clays I ordered from Smokingpipes.com; they have a small bowl like the English Civil War pipes due to the high cost of tobacco in those days.

@halfdan
Talking about small bowls ...
check out the size of bowls of the "little ladell" or "belly pipes" pipes of 1560-1600 compared to a typical English Civil War (1642-1651) bowl
separated by not much more than fifty years



According to William Harrison (1573)
"In these daies the taking-in of the smoke of the Indian herbe called 'Tobaco' by an instrument formed like a little ladell, whereby it passeth from the mouth into the head and stomach, is gretlie taken-up and used in England"

Good afternoon. We start with today's fourth tobacco. MB: Virginia Flake, in a MM Charles Cobbler, and a mug irish coffee...............

 

[Frasermac]

10 pages already!
Today’s misty, murky adventure with the dogs was accompanied by a bowl of Fraser’s mixture in a “basket” briar!
We wandered a long way today, frequently in the low cloud, but it’s always great to be out
