***What Are You Smoking, July 2022?***

[PipeIT]

Just got this in today. Giving it a go and as of right now its on the verge of being a little too close to a swisher sweet for my liking. Its only saving grace is the quality tobacco that are still somewhat present in the background. Tin came in a little drier than I'd expect an aro to be but considering the packaging...View attachment 158993

For Aros, have you smoked Grousemoor, if not, grab a tin.

In stock, I’ve not purchased here before, but I’ve read others have.

Well after 2 months of pouting and whining because I had lost a small box with some of my favorites during my move, I actually found said box today.

So, this celebratory smoke is C&D Pegasus in my no longer AWOL BriarWorks Poker.



In the background, you can see also my Viking Classic Dublin, which is my favorite VA flake smoker and right behind that, the Hilson Vintage Panel I got from foggymountain before he passed.

Yay!

How do you like Orion's Arrow? I've only have a couple bowls of it, and so far it's just ok.

I picked up one of these Danger Cobs as a work pipe, unfortunately the bowl finish on mine isn't as nice as yours. I'm tempted to fix that...

I have a Malaga Dublin that I didn't care for at first. It was purchased because Malaga was an Armenian pipe maker in Royal Oak, Michigan.

After neglecting the Dublin for awhile, I exorcised the Latakia ghost and tried Virginia flakes in it. Now the pipe somewhat sings and holds the flakes wonderfully.

Still not a huge fan of the shape or it being primarily a straight pipe (a quarter bent or so), but it is now the right tool for the job.

Moving is my least favorite thing and finding things is always a pain (especially the time where I packed while watching a movie a having a few adult beverages - won't do that again and hope not to move for awhile as I think I found my forever home).

Up next is SWRA in my other Riverboat Gambler while trying to decide if I should get a Merrick Poker.

If you don't have a poker ... get it !

 

[Hillcrest]

Please let me know your thought process on the Poker. I've been eyeing one for the future and am on the fence. I enjoy cobs and smaller pipes have their place.

My other thought is a larger chambered bent pipe for reading. However, I have a few other true needs first so pipes and tobacco have gone on the back burner for now.

Unsolicited 2 cents : I like larger bowl pipes. The sitter or poker shape is terribly convenient because you can put it down to do things. It hangs comfortably and the larger bowl means a longer better smoke before you get any ash. Mine is technically a sitter but a bent poker is similar. Its one of my favorite home pipes. I don't travel with it because I don't want to risk damage/loss.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson Ebony POTY 4AB No. 422/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. A golden delicious apple follows this smoke. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Last smoke of evening: 1/2 bowl of Country Squire Green Dragon in a recently cleaned 38+ year old Savinelli 2614KS rusticated with 6mm charcoal filter with Ice cold diluted peach ice tea. Nic craving satisfied ! ??

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Off to work on a new Archie and Friends story, which is the second part of the last story I did. Listening to the Dodgers-Nats game on the XM.

Stardust in my Barling. Really great blend from WCC.

Amphora: Burley in a Meer...​

Just found which pipe I will be smoking tomorrow. Forgot all about my PM 2012 meer.

 

[irishearl]

How do you like Orion's Arrow? I've only have a couple bowls of it, and so far it's just ok.

In my case, I also only think it's just OK. In that genre prefer Oriental Silk.
