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

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes. The other estate pipe I've been cleaning seems cleaned, but I still smell a mild sweetness in the bowl. Guess I'll salt and alcohol the bowl again.

Getting ready to smoke a fresh batch of EZ1, a formulation based on a suggestion from our friend @BarrelProof - chocolate supreme, mocha, and a touch of Frosty Mint. Pure Heaven. Everyone should try it once.

Busy day, but opportunities to smoke, too. Gawith Hoggarth Bosun Cut Plug, Kendal Dark, and Ennerdale Flake have taken their turns in cobs and a Falcon.

Enjoying a pipe full of EZ1 in the backyard poolside, in a Knute Danish Freestyle listening to classic Beatles. Life is without a doubt beautiful. Last night we had our Mexicans over and celebrated being with our children. Of course our children are full grown now - but just as precious.next time it will be the Indians.

Stonehenge Flake in the Musico Prince. Been a few years since I had any of this- better than I remember.

I've always loved the look of an unsmoked briar, meer or even a cob. The virgin walls & bottom will never again look like that. But they sort of advertise all the coming years, decades, of smoking pleasure they will give to perhaps numerous generations of future pipe owners --- or as Mr Steve Laug (that very fine gentleman) likes to say, "Remember we are not pipe owners; we are pipemen and women who hold our pipes in trust until they pass on into the trust of those who follow us."

NOTE: I enjoyed reading an earlier post on this forum from one of our brothers who credited Steve with a wonderful repair (!!!).

Korney -- Here in MN, halfway around the world from you, I also like C&D's Granulated Perique (courtesy of a Pipe Club friend) to add to various tobaccos, my own efforts at Home Blending. Interesting that in an earlier post, one of our Forum Brothers mentioned smoking some "neat". Hmm, I've yet to venture there.

Also, this pot you're showing seems like a somewhat rare pipe for you, not a Nose Warmer. I'm thinking that your inventory of Nose Warmers is quite impressive.

That’s a beauty! I love Musico pipes. Thank goodness they don’t cost what they are worth.

Thanks guys. I turned the big 60. Having some Makhuwa plus latakia in a Viprati with morning coffee.
