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

[dozicusmaximus]

Destroyed my tongue with some year old Match Revelation in a Cob. Really need to dry that one out way longer. haha. I still have trouble with cube cut anything though. I will prevail! I will also use something with a 9mm filter and dry it out for an hour or two next time.

Mrs Badger and I made a pilgrimage to one of the remoter spots in the county (Ratlinghope, pronounced 'Ratchup'), the resting place of Richard Munslow (d. 1906), the last sin-eater in England and Wales. Then home, to a pipe of Peterson's Irish Flake in the Comoy seconds zulu. Turns out it's not really a flake pipe :-(

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2021 Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a straight smooth brown 1950s Comoy’s Tradition 305 apple military mount with a sterling silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Abner the Eager came back, ate a lot more than usual, snoozed on m'lady's lap, and then wanted out. Silly li'l fella.

Cool and damp here in the mountains today, not feeling at all like summer. Smoking Maltese Falcon in a Pete whilst I go for a stroll down to the creek.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Sutliff Match BS 957 in a Crown bullcap.

 

[Kingsley]

22° F with Jim’s Special Flake for bowl two in the A. Cevik canine. Stay warm, folks.

This is one of my regulars. Have not tried “The Bull” yet, but really enjoyed this one so far.

I prefer the Requiem Habano over “The Bull” although the Bull is also quite good

 

[Donutslinger]

Some Paladin on the pups post-dinner walk. I’ve only had this one time before, and it was earlier today lol. I rarely smoke aromatics, and i’m very much on the fence about this one. It’s definitely easy to smoke though, burning clean too.

While enjoying a fire and watching the bills vs chiefs game, i am smoking a bowl of 5 bros. in a 1971 bruyere LBs billiard; lasagna and garlic bread for dinner tonight

How did it compare in a pipe vs a cigar? And compared to semois pipe baccy? A curious mind wants to know...

Smoking a cigar and the same cigar chopped up in a pipe are quite different experiences

As @cosmicfolklore has commented - a lot of the flavour of a cigar comes through its contact with your lips and tongue which you don’t get from a pipe
