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

[Sandblast]

Just loaded couple pipes with my own Aro which I named "Autumn '12". Intent is to, maybe, sweeten them up a tad.
OBSERVATION:
While I really like DGT, I've noticed if there's only about 1/4 bowl or less, maybe not so much.
OBSERVATION2:
When starting a DGT, I've decided I don't like adding some fresh tobacco on top of what's already been "toasted".
My valued, straight grain Freehand:

Ennerdale didn't ghost my Altinay, if it did it was just a little for the first bowl after which was an aromatic and I didn't notice.
Earlier today I smoked Samuel Gawith Kendal Cream Flake. Then Solani 656: Aged Burley Flake. Now I'm almost done with my first ever bowl of St. Bruno and I'm already pretty sure that this is going to be a mainstay tobacco for me. Something about it reminds me of Revor Plug that I used to love way back. It is so long ago now that I can't pinpoint what though.

Long day moving sheep, mowing some pasture and vehicle maintenance.
A warm day today with temps around 95 deg for tomorrow.
Decided on some of my personal Codger mixture, “Big R” and a blue Ribbon PBR!
Instrument of indulgence is a restored House of Robertson bent billiard.

Busy day handling some business in Seattle. Got home to find a nice baccy haul from our friends in Germany (will post that in TAD thread) and this new pipe from HS Studio. Most of the blends i got were VA forward, save for a couple. I wanted to open the HU stuff first, so this was the logical choice: HU Dockworker. Happy Friday piping! I'm heading back out into the sun for this one.

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2019 C&D Derringer in a straight smooth brown 1920s (Comoy’s) Lions Head 399 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This should get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Nats game.

[Pooh-Bah]

Crooner in the Crooner pipe (Ropp 428B), to be followed by BSF in the Figurehead.

Finally on the second "book" of the series, Banquet of the Golden Witch. It'll be awhile before anyone starts dying (it's a time loop thing - same cast and setting as book one, but a different series of events and murders), meanwhile we get insight into people's love lives and the relationship between the servants and the witch.

2010 Irish Flake in a Savinelli poker

Understand it’s been smoked…however maybe reach out to retailer and explain the circumstance…possibly exchange? ️

If you cant exchange it, I'd consider carpenter's wood glue. You say its in the shank so it shouldn't be getting too hot...

 

[SmokingInTheWind]

Another windy evening has me smoking in the garage again. Uhle’s B&J Cavendish with a pinch of Five Brothers in the meer.

 

[dottlejockey]

Wasn't expecting these tins to show up today, so now that the work is done and i have new stuff to play with, it's time to keep getting down and dirty with the HU. 1/2 way through this bowl of Nyala in the IMP and diggin it.

Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz in my Molina quarter bent billiard with bamboo shank and acrylic stem today and now Briar Fox in my Tekin faux lattice meerschaum with acrylic stem and 9mm filter.
