***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

[Sanzini]

Just received some Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rub. Still in the early goings of my pipe life, most of what I’ve been smoking has been fairly light and mild. I want to begin to mix in some stronger stuff, and by it’s description I thought this would fit the bill.
On arrival I took a sniff and was honestly a bit intimidated. What have we here, and is it too much for my taste or my rookie palate? Well I’m half way through my first bowl and I’m happy to report I had nothing to worry about - this one is a winner! Very earthy and with deep, varied, and nuanced notes. Ok, my description won’t do it Justice. But if you’re interested n hearing what a pro thinks check the review below from JimInks. I’ll simply say it’s a heck of a good smoke. Cheers!

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a smooth straight brown early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Chatting with one of my best and oldest friends.

Warped Kings Stride in a Savinelli Miele 611 KS bent dublin (with a glass of cab...4 buck Chuck, gotta love inflation!), followed by a half-bowl of G&H Dark Bird's Eye. Speaking of which...bird report: California scrub jay, Stellar's jay, California towhee, California kingbird, California quail, House finch, Violet-green swallow, Oak titmouse, White-breasted nuthatch, Common raven, Mourning dove, and some small accipiter on the hunt (perhaps a falcon or a kite). Very active tonight.

2ns one of the day, figured I'd use a pipe I haven't smoked in a while. So I grabbed my Brigham 2 dot Lovat and filled it right full with GLP Spark Plug.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through the last of my stash of Wilke High Hat in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Going to work now.

Again???? ?

 

[JimInks]

Needed more peanut butter (durn diet!) and a fairly short smoke, so I'm having a bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum fluted paneled brandy meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. Been drinking ice water and bergs, but I'm thinking about more coffee.

cshubhra, I had to do a double take when I saw the 3rd. picture in your "ageing" photos, 'cause it kinda looked like me, sans glasses!

We had another enjoyable Saturday ZOOM meeting, at which I smoked 1989 McClelland No. 24, in my first "expensive" pipe, purchased at Iwan Ries in the mid 1960s for $35, a Charatan tan Relief Grain bulldog 8DC. I also sipped from a tall tumbler of Peach/Mango Green Tea with Honey Jack and a fistful of widdle floaty bergs.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am smoking D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
