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

[Beowoulf]

Apricots and Cream in a Savinelli St. Nicholas, followed by a glass of bourbon.

I LOVE Apricots and Cream. It is in a dead heat with Hartwell's Evening Stroll for my favorite blend. What else smells as good as those two tobaccos!

2019 OGS in a Work in Progress. I want to taper into the rim a bit and soften the heel. Then its time to put together a cheap sandblasting rig and learn about stain:

@Beowoulf I'd like to try the Apricots and Cream in my clay pipes!

C&D Old Joe Krantz in a Peterson. I love this blend and pipe.

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 How long did it last?
I'd like to see how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last.
The re-enactor portraying William Cavendish said he got an hour's smoking time from a small clay pipe; I'd like to see if I can do it
I'd like to take part in clay pipe smoking competitions where the last contestant with baccy still burning wins...

The fire pit is a propane unit with fire glass. Nothing to safely light from. I do light my cigars in it though!

@Smoke Wagon I can smoke a Hamlet cigar in one drag
@brian64 says "Maybe a cigarillo" but that a big Cuban cigar would be ambitious even for the Clay King to smoke in one big drag...
If I went to the cigar lounge in Derby how many cigars do you think I'd smoke???

Half way through this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This should get me to dinner time. Been raining hard ever since I did my walks. Glad it waited for me.

 

[OSOBUCO]

Wilke Lizzies Blood Red English with a rye Manhattan in my Radice clear. This is my favorite wilke blend. And yes my internet is down

That’s a beauty! Is the other side as nice?

Do you prefer the adapters, over filters and nothing at all? I like em wide open.

Amphora Burley. This stuff tastes like sweet tarts to me. Mmmmmm
45 minutes left of my 3 hour waiting session for the daughter to finish dance.

That’s a huckuva truck pipe!

Smoking some Solani Aged Burley Flake in a 10" Magnum Wellington. Used the "fold the flake" method of packing the pipe.

MB Dark Twist Roll Cake in a Sav 316ks. The online reviews say try this in a large bowl so here it goes.
