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

[marlow-se]

2012 GH & Co. Ennerdale in the Altinay. This aged Ennnerdale is heavenly.

Smoking some Cowboy Coffee in a Pete X105 with some dark coffee in this sweltering heat.

Vauen No. 7 Crunchy Blend in my Altinay. I think this is as close as I can get to what I know my grandfather (who inspired me to start pipe smoking) smoked most of the time. I'm pretty sure the tobaccos and flavorings used are the same but the tobacco he smoked was a house blend of a tobacconist in Dallas somewhere that I don't think exist anymore.

And another fine view!

Before work smoke this hot and humid afternoon, Peretti Tashkent in a Bekler meer. I love that tobacco … and this pipe!

Granger in the Rossi apple. Cold beer on a hot afternoon.

And another fine view!

Thank you!
My grandmother had this place built in the 60's so my grandfather that I mentioned sat right here smoking his pipe many times.

Now that looks like a functional tool of a pipe! Which number is it, I’ll have to see if there’s a Rossi beater analogue?

Thanks man. It’s the 207 shape from the Savinelli tre rusticated line. They’re my favorite briar pipes. Rossi sells the same shape (8207) in their Notte line. They might sell it in their Sera line as well but I don’t smoke filtered pipes and the draw is just too open for me without the filter. I got this one during that July 4th sale for 15% off. $85 was just too good of a deal to pass up for a brand new Savinelli.

Here’s my small Savinelli tre rusticated collection:

From left to right shape numbers: 626, 104, 207

EDIT: I seem to remember that you prefer vulcanite stems and these are all acrylic stems in this line.

Chance of rain today so I did a little bit of work in the garden. Smoked WCC Simply Orange.

Afternoon bowl. Brebbia Balkan on top of Westminster for a change of pace.

 

[LeafErikson]

Three sails in a Tekin.

It’s a crying shame that shag cut isn’t more common with pipe tobaccos in 2024. So damn easy to pack, light, and smoke. I’m assuming it’s because of the cig vs pipe tobacco tax difference in the US but I’m not sure.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and then smoked a bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Coffee from a freshly bag of Lavazza Classico, neat, is my drink.

Molto Dolce in an Altinok meer.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City SEPC McClouxgaroux 2023 in a 1920s-30s Grant’s Pipe Shop Corinthian Deluxe 409 (made by Comoy’s) smooth brown medium bend bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This very limited edition blend is Rouxagaroux made with vintage McClelland tobaccos. Ernie Q did a marvelous blending job. Wish we had the resource to have made more. Been watching the Yankees-Red Sox game, and have been phone chatting with a friend who is a life long Yankees fan during the game. He only has 2,200 pipes in his collection.
