*** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2018)

[lochinvar]

Astley's 109 in a brindle Ashton Lumberman. First pipe in a month, pneumonia is a rum fix to be in.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

John Aylesbury's Dragon Flake now. In the same meer as earlier.

 

[weezell]

Samuel Gawith: 1792 Flake in a Meer...

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking MacBaren Modern Virginia Flake in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Watching the Angels-Mariners game.

 

[thefishguy]

Dark Birds eye in a WGM meerschaum.

 

[witchofthehollow]

Smoking a sample of Reiner 71 I got from a really sweet forum member here :D. I believe it has a bit of a topping ...

 

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad, too! My second Conrad pipe. Phone chatting about a ton of stuff.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with a tortoise shell acrylic stem.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is MacBaren Three Nuns Yellow in a 2002 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter and black acrylic stem. I'm finally sensing some Kentucky in here, and despite my review, I now think a small touch of it is present.

D&R Rowland in my Lorenzo workhorse bent rusticated billiard. This pipe smokes like a champ. Easy to maintain, large chamber, easy to hold either in hand or jaw, light, and easy.

[kickinbears]

Peterson Old Dublin in a Peterson bulldog; the usual dark roast coffee, black, on the side

 

[cortezattic]

Rattray's Brown Clunee in a no-name meer, with coffee and the morning paper.

 

[newbroom]

D&R Rimboche A.P. in a Savinelli Freehand Autograph, straight grained "o" grade 1/2 bent, given by a forum member.

The more I smoke it, the better it gets. I just don't smoke it enough, it seems. It's 'special'.
