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

I enjoyed the 2015 McClelland Dark Star so much yesterday I had to revisit it today.
Cube cut and gravity filled.

Going to have Esoterica Tilbury (2021) in a Savinelli Autograph Author (Gruppo 4).

First English blend of the year: Squadron Leader in a Stanton pipe.

MN? If so I got family around that area. Very gorgeous

Yep, that's looking southwest from the old lift bridge. MN on the right, WI not really visible on the left.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Enjoying a little mixture of Brown Sugar Flake & HU Joschi’s Oriental Sunrise. I accidentally mixed a bit of each, but the results are impressive!
My pipe is a Nording Silver Series rusticated Dublin.

I enjoyed my first pipe of the New Year with my Saturday ZOOM friends. While wearing the Christmas gift my daughter gave me, a shirt with a reproduction of Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe, I smoked my mid-1990s Kaywoodie, shaped the same as Magritte's pipe, filled with Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend. My usual tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea with a fistful of bergs kept me hydrated.
Again, my friends, Happy and Healthy New Year's wishes.

I don’t ever take it for granted. I’m out a lot at night so I look up as much as possible. Here’s the best night shot I’ve taken, just on the iPhone you can get pretty good ones!

Finishing the afternoon with “dessert” - a bowl of Sillem’s Green

In a Karl Erik bent canted egg nosewarmer

 

[Briar Lee]

Half and Half in a Extra Large (Big Boy) Marxman marked - Straight Grain-Chubby Rhodesian

Yes, it’s full bore ancient Algerian briar, has the Tabasco sauce whang, and colors with every smoke, and tastes as good as the ugly gnarly ones.

Proof Marx didn’t waste the rare perfect specimen.

No beeswax on this one. The70 gram pipe is handmade, flawless, and finished and polished to an extraordinary degree from the factory.

A presentation special?

Answer to Kaywoodie’s late forties extra large handmades?

 

[RMGadelha]

I just realized that I wrote Stanton pipe in my post. I meant Stanwell. I don't know where Stanton came from.

It’s a good thing you weren’t living in Jamestown in the 1600s. I’m afraid you’d be a smoking train, daily puffing, also hanging in the tavern daily. LOL

Simpler times like that, do like nice, but also difficult. hmm

Take care of yourself, aloha!

P.S. Oh the Clarin clay pipe Canadian on SPC is back in stock, I plan to get one...

@PipeIT I like the Clarin clays but they're expensive and I got stung on import duty on my Musketeer. If I just got pipes I should be ok??? Got plenty of clays though. I'd probably smoke most of the baccy

A third of a bowl left of year 2001 Murray’s Dunhill Navy Rolls in a 2002 black pebble finish straight Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano billiard with a tapered black acrylic stem. Watching Alias Smith and Jones.

You’re asking about Pipes and Customs?

Hmm, I wouldn’t really know, I assume it might be better than tobacco, but hopefully someone will see this and give an answer...
