***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

[Doctor Chopper]

Good grief.
I absolutely ruined a Gamboni commission with that vile blend!
I kinda dug the aroma in the tin, but found that deertongue turns bitter (somewhat like burley heavy blends do) on my palate.
I smoked 2 or maybe 3 bowls of it and was never able to sufficiently rid the ghost!

Ended up selling that pipe to a guy living in Ireland at the time. I wonder where it is today.

You just gave me the resolve to pack it again and smoke a back to back deer tongue!

Just airing some aged Red Virginia which I'll smoke in a Castello #33 with some coffee to wash it down.

WOW, that cob looks amazing after 30 years, and probably GMO free too! LOL

Supposedly GMO I believe came about in 1996 and your cob is 1993. LOL

Enjoy!

Didn't think about that, but yeah...cool.

One of my favorites, Esoterica Tilbury in a Ropp smooth straight apple in a red stain with a double silver-colored band and a hand-cut dark crimson stem. Just back from our favorite 5 Guys for burgers, fries and Cokes. Tilbury is Virginia based with burley as a condiment.

Gonna load up this new Barling with some old gowrie for its first ever smoke.

Moonshine pipes. It was a collaboration between and MM and Moonshine (a brand of BriarWorks). They did two separate runs in limited quantities and ran around $50 each if I remember correctly.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2014 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

So it's a "rusticated " cob ?

No it’s just what they call their natural finish which means it’s not plastered.

Jim, did I sell you that pipe?

No. I got it from some flat headed, knock-kneed, pigeon-toed varmit whose name I will not mention. It was @ashdigger .

Ah, the dark color confused me.
