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

Next time you smoke this blend can you show me the cut of yours? I think I need to cut mine up a bit more.

Not BenMN, but here’s GH&Co Brown Bogie after running cut coins through an herb grinder. Worked wonders for me.

This Ascorti I got is a great little smoker. I will be using it! Easily smokes as well as Ser Jacs and other pipes I have.

2019 Hearth & Home Anniversary blend in this old Civic. I just found this copy of Ulysses in a local charity shop and thought maybe third time lucky, the last time I attempted it was in the 90’s and I’m determined to get through it this time. Even if I do feel like beating my head against the wall after the first twenty pages. View attachment 276148

...and then it will be "Finnegans Wake" time! Good Luck!

Dear Sir, since I'm new to this very Scottish Mixture,and because of my previous attempts to enjoy it properly have failed.therefore I'd be delighted to hear your opinion how to smoke this prone to bite ''blend better.

First time I tried MB Scottish Mixture I thought there was gunpowder in it, it was so aggressive.
Then a pipe friend advised a very slow and calm smoking/sipping. So, I found one of my most loved blends.

Another bowl of Cobblestone Brick Burley Plug in a Briarworks bent apple. I made a post the other day about my pipes finally being broken in, and I'm noticing that this one isn't quite there yet. Looks like I may have to pack some half bowls of Pegasus into it and finish the job.

Sure thing. I find it fussy. I bought the sliced version and barely smoke it.

Rubbed out and dried.

Can use 5 Brothers or Dark Birds Eye on top to help get it burning.

I botched my prep I think. It turned out like a really chunky Cavendish. That is also pretty long. Going to run it through the grinder and see what's up. I like the flavor just want easier smoking of it.

Underrated blend right here. This may have inspired me to smoke some later.
