***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

And the workday winds down as it began – driving across the desert with Sutliff match Victorian in the Briarlee illustrious.

Who do you think will win the clay pipe smoke-off?

I can almost smell all that pipe smoke - and some of it will be mine when I take part

Dan, it looks like there will be stiff competition, but I have no doubt you can take the prize if you want it and keep practicing!

How is that 3D printed stem? I asked brother-in-law about it since he has a 3D printer and he recommended not using it for pipe stems since the plastic isn’t made to be heat resistant.

I used PETG which can handle the heat of pipe smoke no problem, and is much more resistant to heat than, say, vulcanite. Works great, and loving it!

This morning Sutliffe 507-C in the Peterson Pub pipe. I've salt cleaned my regular rotation and am switching them out for my Petersons for the summer (except for one I'm undecided upon as yet). This afternoon 507-C in my Erica Pete second 302 (with the Savinelli 6mm filter stem rather than the original orific bit stem). Some on this site claimed this pipe is a 303 but when I bought it I was told it was a 302. The chamber is 17mmx35mm. It a great sipping pipe for short smokes.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland: Limerick in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown, black striped acrylic stem. Just finished cleaning a few pipes.

Enjoying a bowl of C&D Steamworks original release in a no name billiard with Cumberland accent. In the garage due to lightning and torrential rain that put us in a flood watch.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught cat fish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm probably a couple of days away from an off diet day. Passing the half way mark of this bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture early version #3 in a medium brown 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem.

Cracked my first tin of 3P’s. Surprisingly, a couple thin slices rubbed out easily.
Gonna take it for a spin in a freshly cleaned up pre-republic 363 after dinner.

I'm adding a postscript. I decided to put away the Vauen Olaf as well and get out the Irish Second xl339S which I promptly loaded up with flake and lit and am currently smoking.

So my current rotation is 4 Peterson seconds from various years: The Pub (2022), xl339S (early90s), Erica XL Hand Made (mid 80s), Erica 302 (mid 80s). My doctor wants me to cut back and except for the pub pipe these have smaller bowls than my other pipes. So the current lineup is:
