***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

[hoosierpipeguy]

Yesterday, I had 2 bowls of Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok. I was out and about, just grabbed the tin and had a second. Then, I had a bowl of Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in an Altinay. I had chosen a Rad Davis for the 4th bowl but kind of blindly loaded Vauen No 14 in the Altinay. Noticed half way through. LOL All 4 bowls were fabulous.

On a Haunted Bookshop bender, now appearing in this Savinelli Capri Root Briar 101, acquired from a very courteous forum member.

I have Old Joe Krantz and HH Burley Flake, though I need to find some other burley blends to branch out into…

Close to finishing this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Have spent all my wake time playing traffic cop between Daisy the Feral Princess, Abner the Eager, and Sam the Scamp. The unnamed striped cat showed up, but ran off when it saw me.

Did a set of walking reps on this sunny, cold, day. The wind was so fierce that it almost knocked me down at one point. And it helped me smoke a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. It's time for lunch and coffee.

Started out with Anthology 2023 in a cob. Now enjoying a toscanello aroma grappa. Soaking up some sunshine. This is the last day of outdoor weather for the unforeseeable future.

Cigar Time: Oliva Serie V Melanio

My other eBay purchase of clay pipes arrived yesterday afternoon. One is 7.5 inches long the other is 5.25 inches long. Today I decided to smoke the smaller of the two before lunch.
This is a very small pipe. The bowl is oval shape 5/8 x 1/2 and 7/8 deep.
Loaded with WCC blend 558, I sat down to smoke.
I quickly realized that my pipe tool was too big to work effectively on this little bowl. So I grabbed a thin piece of kindling from the firewood, stack and carved out a small mini tamper. Pipe smoked very well. This is a 15 or so minute smoke. A bit a novelty but none the less useful.


Going to smoke the larger one this afternoon.

Blizzard-schmizard! How about some Orlik Golden Sliced in the Stanwell? We always think of Latakia when it's cold out, but I'm finding Virginia is a really great combo too!View attachment 279263View attachment 279264

What cold? I see you with a T-shirt, at a beach with white as snow sand!...
