***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

[Sobrbiker]

Back to my regularly scheduled beating on the Briarlee, Match Victorian currently. I think this is bowl 12 or 13 on it so far this week and it tastes/smokes great.

I could only love this pipe more if it were a short saddle stem.

Half way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Peterson SH Iora Professor and The Story Teller’s Pipe The Holly King (a favorite). Got a big bag in December because it only comes out around the holidays, figured I better jar it so opened it and may as well have some. And a helper!

Salty dog in a noname “old briar” pipe maybe sold in the 1950s former GDR, with a cheap nylon stem. Good smoker though.

Some Samuel Gawith best brown flake in a group 3 Dunhill shell briar quaint Rhodesian from 2010. My first pipe home after being on vacation. While on vacation I had a nice little Cuban leaf cigar from a local stand in key west fla. It was a great trip but I’m happy to be back. Happy smokes all!

Just finished smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching the Pirates-Padres game.

Coniston Cut Plug in a meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with a hallmarked silver band circa 1900 with a later Redmanol stem which maybe pre-1914 since the Redmanol Company came into being in 1913 and was absorbed into the Bakelite Corporation in 1922. I rather suspect the pipe originally had an amber stem which got broken along the way and was replaced with this rather pleasing cherry colored stem. The real bonus here is whoever smoked this pipe had a very similar tooth configuration to myself so the bite on the stem fits me perfectly. Who says we only live once!

@condorlover1 I enjoyed the Coniston Cut Plug in my Pollock clays; the tobacconist in Buxton sells it loose. I need to make sure I don't get pipe notches

Great looking meer. Love the stem color combo as well.

A busy day today; picked 10 bags of rubbish off the streets of Chesterfield. Found 20p today and a full unopened bottle of wine yesterday / 2 cans of cider last week.

Mont St Michel was magnificent today. Now easing into the evening back in Rennes with Viprati in the French Pipe. Really liking Viprati! Up early tomorrow for a day of vintage racing at Le Mans.

Pegasus in a Pete. Mint iced tea. Heat index is 116F. HOT!

Good day all! Noticed yesterday that a number of folks were smoking C&D Bayou Morning, but I had already loaded a pipe with something else. So much for solidarity. But today, with belated team spirit, I'm starting with Bayou Morning in a small Savinelli Autograph sandblast Burl Fan with plateau top and army mount stem.

I love the pickaxe shape, I never thought about how it might sit in a pipe stand though! (It doesn’t) More of my favorite blend of late, John Cotton Double Pressed Kentucky in a Scovgaard Pickaxe. It sits ok in a leather stand but not my rack.

 

[OverMountain]

Pipes by George “Plyler’s pleasure”, an excellent light English.

 

[Scottmi]

Same bar, loading up a second bowl of Viprati. Great music! Doors, Suzie Q, Yardbirds, Don McLean’s opus, and now White Rabbit.

Spent morning working with Wilke Peanut Butter in modified (setter) Peterson Pub Pipe. It is a favorite smoker when I have a task that takes time. It allows me to easily set pipe down when 2 are hands needed.
