***What Are You Smoking, June 2020?***

[Country Bladesmith]

Just finished a bowl of my own "Dino's Mixture" (FVF, University Flake, 50 year old Mahalla and Latakia, and a little extra Syrian Latakia from the 90s), in my father's no-name "London Made" long stemmed billiard, about a size 1.
Remembering my father on the eve of Father's Day.

Sounds amazing!

Mystery tobacco that was left unfinished in my MM General. Going by taste, I’m 99% sure it’s Pirate Kake.

Part way though this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

Earlier today, Carter Hall in Bones Outdoorsman Sitter, and now Father Dempsey in a Kaywoodie Supergrain billiard. Really enjoying this blend.

Tinderbox (of Tacoma) make a tobacco called Wafflehouse. It used to contain McClelland VBC as a major componant. They found an alternative when they quit and the new blend is good, but not magic like the old stuff. I am smoking the old stuff in a Forecastle Dublin.

 

[JimInks]

About a quarter of the way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Andrew in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. Having fun breaking in this new pipe.

Just packed a big bowl of C&D Billy Budd in a Savenelli 111KS Eleganza. Been a very wet weekend.

 

[MattRVA]

Home VaPer with Kentucky and Izmir in a Kaywoodie relief grain bent billiard.

 

[crawdad]

Meh. It happens. Good cigar? Never had one of those.

It was alright. While I'm not exactly a lightweight, it was a Nic bomb.

 

[JimInks]

A couple of minutes away from smoking Ken Byron Ventures Live Wire in a smooth almost full bend 1981 Briar Workshop round brandy signed by Elliott Nachwalter with a pearl gold acrylic stem. Community Coffee is my drink. Watching a chapter of the Terry and the Pirates serial.

From earlier, SG Bothy Flake in a Sandblasted Briarworks C141S Short Cutty.

 

[cshubhra]

I only had half a pipeful of Ken Byron Ventures Verge Engine Overdrive left so I added to it a little C&D Opening Night. Smoking it it a Sasieni Four Dot Hurlingham S. The taste is predominantly of VEO, with some occasional whiffs of Opening Night. Interesting ?

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Ozark Wizard’s All Things Being Equal in a straight black sandblast late 1990s 2 star Ferndown Bark squashed pot with a tapered cumberland stem. Time to clean a few pipes.

 

[MattRVA]

KBV Artifact Blend in a Falcon standard straight with a hunter billiard bowl.
