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

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

Smoking now one of the two last bowls of Scandinavik Mixture. In a Canasta pipe.
A nice weekend to all of you good people!

Having a nice cup of coffee with some HU Makhuwa. It is laced with a touch of blending lat. I dont have my own pic of the pipe yet. Just the one fromt the shop. It arrived this morning. Its a Paul Becker. Nice wide chamber



Added...its a really nice smoker. I like fishtail stems and its nice and trim as well.

Nice Virginia Morning with Freezing Rain, Sleet & Snow but little accumulation expected. Taking the dog out while smoking a Musico Billiard full of Capt Earle’s Mystic

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

Amphora Original brown in a Savinelli 701 Punto Oro Lovat

 

[FoggyMorning]

Anthology 2023 in a Savinelli.

 

[Sigmund]

Having the first smoke in a new to me Ascorti dublin. I usually buy curved pipes but I thought this one interesting. Big wide taperd chamber 27mm at the top. Smoking some Directors cut. Drinking some Champagne. The draw on this stem is just a little tighter than I like. I may have to open it a little.

 

[Cloozoe]

Anthology in the new Musico Rhodesian

 

[The Clay King]

Sutliff States of Virginia in a Radice Rind Straight.

Getting ready to watch some more Jamestown, and this is certainly a fitting blend for the show too... LOL

Be well everyone!

P.S. This Jamestown show is when the English first settled too in Virginia, notice the English flag in the credits.

@PipeIT Love the images & music in the title sequence; it reminds of of Murton Park living history village near York: Murton Park | York Visitor Attraction – Murton Park | York Visitor Attraction - https://murtonpark.co.uk/
They had a Jamestown event in 2022; I thought it was missing some tobacco hung up to dry and a shame none of the re-enactors were smoking clays due to the smoking ban on site...
How much of that Virginia leaf do you think the Clay King would smoke?

Nice rimescape this morning. OJKB in a cob

Thanks. I think it is sweet too. I can’t say Mike Bay rings any bells; it is probably somebody else. I should look through my email receipts. It is funny, I often forget the maker of my more artisanal pipes. It’s bad really, like not knowing who painted the painting on your living room wall. The Savinelli’s, Nordings and Pete’s and whatnot I always can remember, and then these smaller outfits that could probably benefit more from the recognition don’t get mentioned.

I wish I had a custom resting thing for it so I can set it down yet keep it upright. I should find the maker and commission that…

edit: Outlook Search “pickaxe” = Mike Sebastian Bay. I stand corrected.

I remember the pipe, almost bought it. Mike Sebastian bay. I could be wrong cause I’m old and senile but I’m pretty sure. Second guess is Lasse Scovgaard, but I think it was Mike.

You’re correct- I appended my post on page 36 saying as much. It must have been you that commented when I first bought it…Did you ever find a pickaxe to your taste?

I had one from Lasse Scovgaard, smoked great but traded it recently, it’s in Danish estates on SPC right now actually. It was a great pipe, and I have other Scovgaard I’ll never trade away, just wanted something else more. Several of my Smio Satou Dublins look like pickaxes and I love them.

I just looked at it. It is very similar to mine! I really would love a properly notched receptacle to rest my pickaxe on.

Enjoying a bowl of Solani Aged Burly Flake with black coffee, pure as the gods intended their nectar, on this snowy morning.

Nice run of Petersons this evening.

I was noting the same thing and have to agree.......

I like the stands that are like lazy boys for pipes, I’ll link it to you later.
