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

[Peterson314]

KBV's Noble Aztec (Vanilla Room Perfume) in my 2024 Christmas Peterson 05. First light of Noble Aztec, and actually first light of any KBV blend for me. I don't often smoke aro anymore, but I am very impressed. Not a repeatable smoke for me, but I enjoyed it. Here's to Ken!

Is the MacBraren Royal twist that was sold in USA same tobacco as the MacBaren roll Cake that is sold in EU?

Sadly I have no idea.

Now smoking Watch City Strange Magic in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Hungarian with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a long time.

Back from the gym, coffee is made and I’ve loaded Stokkeby’s Cube Cut in a cob. Nice burley and coffee to perform the same duties as CPR

Good question... with my custom short stem it may make the bowl look a little taller? It's not really so tall and I don't think of it as a stack or chimney but that is more a term of art or preference I have been led to believe. It has a little cant, and Smooth Dark Cutty is what Merchant Service called it when i bought it. It's a fabulous smoker, and I have really come to prefer the short stem on it!

If they made short ones I’d be an owner!

Is this an EMC COB?

 

[Sobrbiker]

Been busy inside-sometimes doing something, sometimes doing nothing.
Only had one so far today, mixed up another jar full of Ryback plus 25% TS20 Perique. The last pinch went in the Ropp J11 rather than the jar.

Long winded version of “same old, same old”

Sure is, smokes well.

Squirted some Marvel’s Mystery Oil on top of the pistons and put in new plugs on my friend’s bike. I rebuilt the carb and we’ll see what happens firing it up tomorrow-been sitting last 5 years since she layed it down.

Suffering the sample of Haunted Bookshop recently received from SPcom breaking in the J07.

Yessir. Eric makes the best cobs I’ve ever seen. Im not even sure how many I have at this point. Pretty sure I have seen you post this pipe of facebook?

Near the first third of this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. This will get me to dinner time. Fed all the ferals while m'lady fed our cats.

Not me, don’t do the book of faces. The pipe is very good and a bit different too and I like different in our cookie cutter world
