Great episode. Randy Marsh is hilarious!
WCC Waltham Broken Cake in a Piersel NASPC 2020 Author.
Just finished the last pipe for the night. Golden Ash in a Big Ben Bulldog.
Damn the translucency doesn’t do it for you? The shape isn’t my personal fav either as I’m more of a straight pipe guy but dude it’s a freakin army mount translucent meer. That thang is smexy.
Basically correct, this Cheroot cigar made in Myanmar was found in a tobacco box last night. When I went to Yangon and Mandalay in Myanmar on business in 2018, I found that many people in this country with more temples than convenience stores are smoking this cigar. I bought a bundle out of curiosity. In fact, there is almost no tobacco in this "cigar". Wrapper is a kind of leaves similar to spices. Filler is a little broken tobacco and a lot of spices, which are stuck with mashed jam. This thing actually rolled a filter in. I took it apart and looked at it. It seemed that the filter was made from the remains of a student's exercise book. I was very sure because there was a math problem on it. @jttnk
Half way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to You Bet Your Life. Ice water and bergs is my drink for the rest of the day.
2017 Dunhill Nightcap in my Grabow bulldog. It's too windy in my comfortable smoking spots on the porch or back steps for a nirvana smoke, but it's not a dukkha smoke either.

Not at all, that's not an altinay exclusive, even Said said they marketed the term and other brands use it without labeling it as such. Given the examples of coloring of them on threads here, I'm not seeing anything more remarkable than any other meerschaum pipe I've owned and two of my IMPs show "translucent" traits. The majority of the coloring in my Kenan skull pipe was achieved in the first two months of once per day smoking, and it shows no sign of translucent material. In point of fact, that one is a spigot, not an army mount.

This is such a great pipe.
This is such a great pipe.
Man, d
Man, do you ever have a ton of great old pipes!
Just finishing this bowl of Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to Calling All Cars from my own collection.
LJP Cambridge Flake in Lane era Charatan’s Make Dublin.
Now smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.
Beedies are really hard to find in the western spheres. I think they are banned by law.
The last time I bought some was in 2018 in Cape Town. „For sale in GCC Countries“ tells a small note on the paper wrapper. I wonder how it could get to SA anyways.
But I still got three of them. Not exactly the „Ganesh Beedies“, a different brand, „Bharath Special“.
I always got smoking on math problems.
2018 McClelland's 5100/Red Cake from a pre-1969 Castello Sea Rock Chimney
Had a light snack, fed Shy Stripesy and Tomato the Brave, and I'm a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. The easy burn from Wilke English blends do well for work smokes as well as any other time.
