***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

Sorry to be a downer but I just heard that another friend got taken by cancer this weekend, he was 54 and like the last one he had no idea he had it until a week or so before he died. Two friends in as many months.
I’m so bloody angry at the moment I feel like smashing something, but I’m gonna get drunk instead.
I’m Smoking something in the GW clay, Juno I think, I wasn’t paying attention.

Sorry to hear the bad new's I have a uncle battling it right now.

Post two-hour Zoom session bowl of GL Pease Stonehenge Flake in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4. This blend has been underwhelming so far (but only has 6 months jar time, so...).

Now smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. The rain stopped so I'll get at least one set of walks in after all.

That is one beautiful pipe

Thanks. It's a great smoker too. I use it for virginias and va/pers.

Testing this new Missouri Meerschaum Huck Finn with some Gawith & Hoggarth - Dark Flake. The chamber is only 0.625".

Good morning all. I'm starting my smoking day with some Eight State Burley in a cob. I'm interested to hear from those of you that have tried this blend. How are you liking it (or not)? So far I've had smokes where I'm glad I bought the amount I did, or I should have bought more, and even, who will buy the tins I have left.

I tried to get some the other day and couldn’t find it on SP, was it a one time thing?

Great little pipes for short smokes and for ”powerful” blends. Plus, I love to say Huck Finn without being cancelled!

I’m sorry to hear that, I wish him all the best in defeating the nasty, insidious thing.

Ok since dinner I’ve had Germain’s Gold Leaf in the Bog Oak horn, G’s 1830 Mix in the Longchamp bent bulldog, Yorktown in the Kikob (I’ve been calling it a Africob which is how some of these pipes are marked but this one is marked Kikob Tanganyika). And now I fancy something sweet so it’s Queen Anne’s Revenge in the little Yello Bole.

 

[Fiddlepiper]

GH Jamaican flake bulked out with some straight VA flake as there wasn’t quite a bowlful left in the sample I had. Works surprisingly well and adds a little more sweetness to it. Smoked in a Comoy’s Royal Shape 42.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed America's latest lunch, and have a quarter of a bowl left of year 2018 C&D Yorktown in a 1991 Ashton Brindle X straight brown sandblast dublin with a square shank and tapered square acrylic cumberland stem. Cleaning a few pipes.

Enjoying a beautiful evening on the deck smoking Gawith Hoggarth Coniston Cut Plug in a Savinelli New Art. Wild Turkey Rare Breed bourbon in the glass, a Grateful Dead show on the Bluetooth speaker.

Took in a matinee baseball game earlier while enjoying Ennerdale in a MM Mark Twain. Celebrating the W with a moderate pour of bourbon and PS LTF in a MM Country Gentleman.

Continuing for a few days with nose-warmers here's an example branded with an anchor (unidentified) from the first quarter of the 20th century in a shape probably best described as a 'Trumpet' Dizzy Gillespie style

More Curly Block in a globe lattice meer.

Sitting on the deck, staring into the woods and listening to the thunderstorm. Bliss.
