*** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2019)

[oldtoby]

Murray & Sons Velvan Plug in a Stanwell.
A close shave and a bit of drying has made for a one match affair, so far.
I think Velvan could definitely be my Desert Island blend. ::

Esoterica and-so-to-bed in a Petersen bend billiard.

 

[upnorth1]

Billy Budd, Peterson Shannon, Gin tonic.

 

[crawdad]

Finished a bowl of LBF in a Savinelli Bing's Favorite. And now to bed...

 

[yuda]

Fox and Hound in my medium Crown Bent Billiard. The Perigue makes itself well known with plenty of notes of plum, complimented by the Virginia's providing citrus sweetness and savory character, with the latakia providing just enough smoke in the background for a late night tongue tingling delight.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[jaytex1969]

Ye Olde Signe in a Stanwell 86.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Accent in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Have enough left for one more bowl.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished work and this bowl of Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs in a brown rusticated slight bend 1982 Savinelli Non Pareil Estella 99 Acorn with a pearl brown lucite ferrule and military stem. Time to feed the cats and snack as I catch the Braves-Phillies replay.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed snacking quite a bit and am part way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. This Stanwell has been one of my most smoked pipes over the past forty years. Got it from The Tinderbox during a half price sale for $14.00 in '79, so the pipe could be older than the date I assigned to it. Best $14.00 I ever spent.

 

[JimInks]

Last smoke of the day is Smoker’s Pride Mellow Taste in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. Still watching the Braves-Phillies game.

PS Luxury Bullseye Flake and morning coffee on the back porch.

 

[redglow]

Carter Hall in my Great Dane Spool cob.

 

[JimInks]

Another sleepless morning, but so I don't waste any more time, I've having a bowl of old Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Simply Orange is my drink. Watching how awfully bad IFC edits down Three Stooges shorts. They cut them to pieces, and sped them up a little so they can show them in less than seven minutes each. A truly disrespectful channel. They cut up regular half hour old TV shows a bit, too.

 

[cortezattic]

Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique in a no-name meer, with coffee and the morning paper.

 

[cshubhra]

Orlik Golden Sliced - In a Macbaren smooth/straight Billiard

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Vengeur Silver in a medium bend egg 2017 Royal Meerschaum Dragon meer with a black and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Wanted to see if the Rum & Maple I was smoking in this pipe had ghosted it. Doesn't appear to have. Watching a Hopalong Cassidy movie.

 

[cortezattic]

GLP Embarcadero in a Shakespeare figural meer by Bağlan, with coffee.

 

[mikefu]

Rattray’s Dark Fragrant in a Savinelli 310

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking early 1970s MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit and pearl gray acrylic stem.
