***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

[UB 40]

One more note on the Cheroot Cigar. It is quite different from Beedis, that are rolled with Tendu leaves. Another certain aspect of the Indian tobacco industry needs mention it is child labour.

Here is something about charoots produced in the US: SMOKE 06/98 - Avanti Cigar Company - https://web.archive.org/web/20060320121140/http://www.smokemag.com/0698/america.htm

Going to have Watch City Rouxgaroux in a Comoy’s Sandblast Bulldog 409 (small cap C with apostrophe, sans serif).

About a third of a bowl left of Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a rectangular shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

[JimInks]

Just finished work for the day, and this bowl of Wilke Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed Suzy and Molly, and have a lot of other stuff to do next.

 

[Lyon0oq]

To finish the day, a bowl of C&D Carolina Red Flake w/ Per, in a rusticated egg from LeoPipe.

I’ve got off today, so I’m staying up for another smoke. Going to have Peter Stokkebye PS41 Cube Cut in the very recently discontinued Missouri Meerschaum The Ryker [sic] Corn Cob (I actually snagged the last two in the Missouri Meerschaum Museum—one for me, another for a buddy). I was told this unofficial Star Trek: The Next Generation tribute pipe may return in the future, but, for now, they’re making room for new models.

 

[JimInks]

Hey Jim are you smoking those estates with that oxidization on the stem? Or are these pics from before you restore them? Not judging either way just genuinely curious.

Both.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is year 2022 Prince Albert in a 2015 Basil Meadows black sandblasted billiard with an aluminum band and a pearl red acrylic tapered stem.

Starting the day off with some Astley No. 44 in a Savinelli Autograph

 

[DKpiper]

Hello to you all from Denmark.
Having the day of and decided to open a tin of Three Nuns.
Smoking at an Altinay billard translucent meershaum with bamboo.
It hasen't coloured much yet, but I'm sure it will, when it wants to

Yesterday's walk with another round of Who Knows What English Blend in the Nording Dublin. I picked up this blend last May, along with the pipe, but have not really been a fan of it. Since it been colder, most of what I've been smoking seems to have lost it's flavor. I'm not sure if that's from the cold weather and/or from walking (to cold to sit still). However, when I opened this jar the note just hit right and the Latakia flavor just seems perfect for a cold weather smoke. Has anyone else who smokes outdoors in cold climates experienced something similar?


Earlier in the day we went to the Van Gogh exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts with some friends. What an amazing experience that was and if it comes through your town, it's worth seeing. The opening painting is the chair with his pipe.

Nice. I've wanted to check out the Van Gogh exhibit while it's here but my daughter is a little young to go (let alone appreciate it).

As for your question, Latakia has a heavier mouth feel for me (along with thoughts of warming yourself by a fire), making it a more frequent winter blend.

Eccentric in a Castello

 

[Brewfan]

C&D Morning Light in a rescued Peterson billiard. Nearing the bottom of the tin, it's good enough but I won't likely buy it again.

Listening to a back issue of the Pipes Magazine Radio Show and smoking Father Dempsey in a Jeantet Super Olympic
