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

[Duke of Erinmore]

A blind sample from a fellow German pipe smoker in a BBB Special. Strong Virginia Flake. Pleasant smoke!

A third of the way through this bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon Cut in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 square shank sitter with a silver pearl gray acrylic saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Marlins game as I catalog the estate pipes I got.

Hope you don't mind too much guys but cuteness is the theme -
Some of the cutest briars ever made were made in the late 19th - early 20th century represented here by a handful or so, including an unbranded with ivory stem ...



... a few BBBs ...





... a GBD ...


... a pair by an unidentified maker ...


... and finally a pair of equally cute Barlings

good night all, The Mallard in a Le Nuvole, Aquarius and watching Roland Garros, Semifinal, Nadal VS Djokovic...impressive match for both

Hell of a match, Rafa was obviously in some pain, I’d have liked to seen him at full health. That would have been something.

ESB is definitely different. I like it myself. Took a few bowls to get the jist of it. I'm letting mine rest in a jar for a few weeks before going back to it.

I’m thinking the same thing myself. Great minds and all that..

Thanks for the pic. ??

Thought you might like the before and after pic with the young crocodile and young alligator in the background.

Probably more interesting than Italy-Turkey which I watched, with HU Port Latakia in Crown (a blend as boring as the match, nothing compared to the Africans like Tuarekh or Fayyum Kake).

Somehow I doubt if The Handy’s design would translate to the same in this day and age. Today handy and style are very different things and rarely converge.

Way too humid for a pipe today. Now enjoying an Ashton 8-9-8 cigar.

I thought you’d put a alligator shaped pipe in the background, nothing would surprise me at this point.

Can’t speak for the tobacco but I agree with about the football ️.?

Currently enjoying some McClelland 2015 in a Falcon.

Last one for the night, Horse Shit in the Kiko Caveman.
Picked up a new (1950’s) harp today, all restored.
Appearing on a street corner near you soon, don’t miss it.
And no listening for free!

Shit I forgot the picture!
