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

[Scottmi]

Not sure if it’s your first meer or not but just beware that the first few smokes will be a bit muted until the bowl is saturated with tobacco oils.

First proper new meer! (I got a meer bowl for a Falcon a month or so ago.) somewhat wary about whatever 'new meer taste' might be, but i have to say, the Deception Pass was EXCELLENT in the meer and don't think I got milky or chalky anything.. but it was different--in a very good way. Maybe I did get a new meer thing and perhaps like @didimauw , new meer taste is something I gotta have?

Looks like a gang of Jakes. Good thing you're not a hen

Hens and brood come around most of the year, but these Jakes are all a bit more bold it seems now that Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed.

Now smoking year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to work in a couple of minutes. Decided to have a Canadian and Canadian-style smoke night while I work.

Now smoke only that pipe for a year!!!!! That's a very interesting shape. And I'm sure will color awesomly. And I promise the bad taste WILL go away! Haha.

Enjoying some more Amphora Burley.

Just passing the half way mark on this bowl of C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Ignore the stain on my hoodie and instead look at the new meer that arrived today. Smoking hh burley flake.

 

[dcrguns]

Earlier it was C&D Bijou in an Al Pascia Meerschaum at my local B&M for our weekly pipe night.

[Scottmi]

MB Vanilla Flake in a brebbia Noce billiard to finish the day.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of a bowl left of year 2016 Sutliff Revelation Match in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Kingsway (Comoy’s) London Made 61 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

A minute or two away from smoking Uhle’s 00 in a straight smooth brown post-WW2 LHS Purex Superfine 74 Canadian with a metal screw-in tenon and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

 

[LeafErikson]

Had another bowl out of the new AGovem meer. Pegasus this time. I'll probably have one more bowl before bed.

Ashton Artisan's blend in a H.Cor meer

 

[The Clay King]

MB Dark Twist Roll Cake in the little clay. @halfdan two of the coins, and a pinch of stuff on top made a full bowl. If you want the blacksmith to light it you might need to hang around for a minute to make sure it’s going. Once lit, all good! Goes well with a sturdy Claret

@Scottmi Nice pipe and good tobacco choice for a clay. I had one the same but it got broken:-(

 

[JimInks]

Did a little snacking, and am smoking C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 billiard with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[Sinzalot]

Good morning all. Starting the day with some HU Nyala in a Jack Howell tavern. Coffee and nicotine slowly waking me up. Have a good day everyone.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Have a little more work to do.

Finished happy hour with some Best of the Rest English in a Big Ben Bulldog with sour mash to drink. My wife hates when I smoke English blends. She asked how she could go on tobaccoreviews and put "Peeeewwuuuu" as a room note? View attachment 193927

Tell her to post a photo of Pepe Le' Pew!

The blend I've been thoroughly enjoying recently is HH Pure Virginia. This was jarred just short of two years ago and is an excellent smoke.
