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

[crawdad]

Smoking me a Montecristo cigarillo, pretending I'm the nameless gunfighter while the HVAC man figures out how much to chisel me for a while new unit.

Ya, nice pipe, and bunch up some sticks with glue or screws in the yard for the aesthetic =) I like churchwarden's and that pipe looks great, I really like how Vauen keeps a wooden stemmed churchwarden practical with being able to break it down for cleaning. I do like a wooden stemmed bit more, but practicality does necessitate a longer lasting useful pipe with the lucite tips. Please report back how you like the pipe as a smoker. Bought 2 MacQueen's way back for a friend and I in the past (not workable really, they suck in the cleaning respect IMO), and I have been contemplating a Vauen wooden churchwarden for ... ??... 20 years? Being that they actually know pipes, I've always been interested.

So first impressions are: yes it works as a reading pipe that is just sort of sitting around your waist area with the mouthpiece in easy reach. The feeling in the hand needs some getting used to since the long stem feels quite heavy. I think I will use it quite a bit but certainly not ideal for the 'clenching while doing yard work' types

How do you find the tankards to smoke? Always admired them and they are so cheap!

I think that they are fine, simple and uncomplicated. I use this pipe for aromatics.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking Smoker’s Pride Mellow Taste in an undated slight bent rusticated brown with a darker fumed top unbranded Micoli billiard with a white accented perpex ferrule, off center square shank and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style.

About to finish a bowl of G&H Burley &Bright in a Savinlli Autograph Freehand. I’ve got 8 ounces of the stuff so I’ll definitely do some experimenting with it.

Nice. Will look into that.
