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

Smoking some more Grousemoor. Takin it easy at the pond with my daughter.

seeing this has made me get my La Corta off the pipe rack and pack it full of EGR it’s been a very long time since I have smoked it but it very fails when lit

Yeah, I like this little pipe. Glad you're breaking yours out! Enjoy!!

That is a beautiful pipe and heads and shoulders above most bjarne pipes Ive seen. All Ive had were good smokers but that one is something special.

Thanks. As you might know, Bjarne had two lines, the more affordable "Bjarne" and higher grade "Bjarne Nielsen." I bought this particular pipe from Bjarne himself at my local B&M, Rich's. He came once a year to do a trunk show and in 2007 I decided to go see what he had. This particular pipe is missing a grade stamp and Bjarne said he didn't know why and charged me the price for a "C." I suspect he could have charged me more. He told me that the pipe was carved by Vigen.

I was so charmed by him that I resolved to get another pipe from him the next year. Alas, 2007 was his last show at Rich's as he passed away the next year. According to Pipedia, after Bjarne died, Vigen simply stopped making pipes.

Enjoy it! My youngest daughter is almost 13 now and I can’t get her to go fishing much anymore. Time keeps on spinning.

Bob’s Chocolate Flake. Best chocolate blend ever.

Hella yes!

Squeezing in a quick bowl of Irish Flake/FVF in the old Kaywoodie Pup.

@didimauw: you’ve got a decent point, the background is salt/everclear treatment going on in what was a seemingly clean and dry ~100yo slobber system chamber.

Man…that thing looks like it would jiggle if you poked it!

Edge Toro.

Pegasus. It's so humid, Pegasus is so dry it's the only tobacco I brought, that's smokeable right now. And I'm OK with it.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I'm pretty predictable about my smoking habits...

-Vanilla cake roll in the morning walking the dog.
-Plum pudding after lunch while reading (currently Undaunted Courage, by Ambrose)
-The only time I vary tobacco is my after dinner smoke, always something tinned, currently 3P's and Cult Embassy.
-Squadron leader last pipe of the night.

I'll switch up 3-4 times a year, but I'm a boring smoker....lol

Good day all and a Happy Fourth to all in the States. Started with a "Red, White and Blue" blend, namely Carter Hall in an Upshall B Newmarket. Followed with another round of GLP Cairo in a Tilshead smooth Billiard. And I'm starting to feel an aro coming on.
