***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

[BenMN]

First go with Barbary Coast, in a cob

A generous gift-sample from pipe club. Was also treated to some aged Old Gowrie earlier, in a different cob

 

[JimInks]

Did some low calorie snacking, and am smoking Seattle Pipe Club Give Me Liberty in a straight smooth medium brown pre-1920 straight Marechal Ruchon & Cie. Royale apple with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Next pipe is pa 2006 classical straight apple/tomato from Peter Hedegaard


With a bowl of W.O.Larsen Signature

 

[DesertDan]

MM cob stuffed with CS Treasure Island.
First time with this blend and I found it very enjoyable. It is a sweet dark rum flavor with definite undertones of molasses and a bit of spice. It is quite damp and needs drying time, it needed a few relights until about mid-bowl and then it settled down. It did burn hot and would probably do best in a thick-walled briar (I'll try that next).
Be mindful of your cadence and sip this one or it will bite, but overall, this is an excellent tasting rum flavored blend.

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Smoking C&D Long Cut Perique in a Dr. Grabow Golden Duke. Diet coke is my drink, as I take in an audio book.

 

[Scottmi]

Late night 2012 Escudo in the Richard Mason Strawberrywood

 

[JimInks]

Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I may end the day with this smoke.

2021 HH Burley Flake in a new Radice Silk Cut

Gorgeous Radice! Will it sit on it's own?

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

That straight Perique got the old head swimming. Did some snacking, going for a light smoke this time.

Now smoking a Black & Mild Original with Ice water for my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. This was the first “Bing” that Basil made. I had another smoke because it's taking longer to feed everybody than I expected. Harry the Hairy was so much in need of my attention that he tried to climb up my left leg. I picked him up, scratched his head and back as I talked to him. He was purring like a freight train, and didn't want me to put him down. Then, I had to stay with him because he didn't want to eat unless I was there. I just fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave, and they wanted some attention from me, too. Abner the Eager left a while ago to wherever it is that he goes. Now, it's time to feed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger.

@khiddy That would be a perfect pipe for the Clay King! I LOVE knights & my living room is furnished as a medieval Great Hall!

@Skink I enjoyed it in my clays. GH baccy is VERY well suited for clay pipes; they should get a By Appointment to the Clay King
