***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

[Pappy Coon]

RLP6 was one of my first blends. I liked it better than 1Q, it tastes like toasted marshmallows to me.

I like it better than 1Q too. +1 for marshmallows.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and then smoked a bowl of Watch City Original Crumb Cut in a 1950s-60s straight smooth brown Bertram 07 octagonal paneled billiard with a square shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave was on my lap since my last post.

I've never seen anybody complain about Danish pipemaking lmfao. From what I've seen most people feel the Danish made Stanwells are much better than the current Italian made ones. I must say the bent stem looks much better on it than the original.

Stanwells (at least the Danish era ones) are my favourite factory pipes, after the family-era English brands like Barling and Comoy.

If I had to start collecting pipes again, I would be happy to have Danish made Stanwells only.

That new acrylic stem was made by The Danish Pipe Shop. They nailed it

The next pipe is a 1996 Stanwell POTY - a blasted Belge


With a bowl of MacBarens Mixture Scottish Blend

I have a Danish Monarch which is a Stanwell second and I love it. It's dedicated for KY blends so I'll post it next time I smoke one.

Last one for me tonight. Going out with a bang. Burley plug in a Tekin squashed tomato with some Eddie 10yr. Something about the deep sherry finish and the burley together...magic.

 

[zercules]

Sankara Stone, a wonderful codger-cut Balkan, in a 999 Newgrange. Hints of Latakia and vanilla cavendish supplement Virginia and oriental leaf, making this a personal favorite of mine.

What a beautiful pipe! I've been off the forum and off the pipe for about 3 years now, but I swear I remember that beauty from before!
