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

[Hillcrest]

A parfait of Creme Brulee and Lane 1-Q in my unlabeled Cellini Hungarian. This pipe always smokes dry and sweet and all the way to the bottom. This particular piece of briar is an outstanding smoker. Unfortunately I believe it was thrown together after the factory closed and the stem has stress fractures on the top and does not seem completely bent. The bowl is so good though, I may contact one of our members and see if a new stem can be made for it. Preferably with a 6mm filter and a bit longer with a proper bend. Great tobacco and great pipe bowl. It has a 20mmx50mm chamber too ! (Photo is from seller Judperl).

Just popped a jar of LNF from 2013.
Smoking it in a Rad Davis SF POY 2008.
Dang, I really need to start cropping these pictures!

My first thought was whose wife ???

 

[The Clay King]

Clan in a clay. Enjoyed meeting the Ferrers Household & having a go at sword handling & pole lathe woodturning. Leather working looks good and would be a useful craft to pick up!

Watching UFC Fight Night, Alex Perez vs. Tatsuro Taira. Taira is twenty-four years old, and 15–0 thus far. This should be interesting. Going to have Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Folklore (2022, 805/1000) in an unbranded, unmarked, Magnum-sized Swan Neck LC (Large Curve) with a horn stem with an orific bit; this pipe is most likely French in origin, and may be from the late 19th or early 20th Century—it is curve drilled, has a bone tenon, and a cork mortise.

Taking a break from my book"Story of a Soul" while enjoying some ODF/Perique and a cup of black tea with fresh ground nutmeg,milk and raw honey.

Just popped open a 6 year old tin of Wessex Burley Flake. Pipe is a Baglan claw and egg meer.

Acadia was one of our favorite vacation destinations..... miss going there.

It is a special place for sure. The combination of the woods, fresh water lakes, and ocean are beautiful. The seafood was incredible. There is nothing like a fresh oyster from cold water.

Another warm evening, hanging out in the pool and smoking some spare ribs and chicken boobs. Passing the time with a Manil Bouchon in a Meerschaum Depot Bent Rhody.

 

[Silverwing]

Enjoying some Ennerdale Mixture in my system spigot. It’s reminding me of the taste of jenever. Gonna try some Dark Aromatic after I get ready for bed. I’m falling pretty hard for Lakeland’s and VaPers lately.

Be well everyone, have a great summer!

Very nice pipe there !!!

Thanks… I like it.

Picked up cheap, the stem had straightened out, probably from being left in the sun on a dashboard. I re-bent the stem.

The stummel was wiped with alcohol to get rid of the accumulated grime. Lightly buffed with white diamond to raise the grain, then finished with several coats of blonde shellac and once again buffed with white diamond to bring up the shine.

Chamber floor needed work. I sanded the chamber and recoated with a mixture of waterglass and activated charcoal. Once dried I sanded it with spire pointed grinding bit. Makes for a nice taper. The draft hole comes out a hair above the bottom, which allows for smoking all the tobacco down to the bottom.

Like smoking a well drilled brand new pipe…

Smoking my first Peretti’s-Royal with some absinthe. This is a really good Balkan. I definitely prefer this to White Knight. It is supposed to be close to Balkan Sobranie. It’s definitely got that Oriental/Latakia pop to it with sweet Virginias. Reminds me a bit of Charing Cross or Levant Mixture. Immediately, I want to buy more. Does anyone know if the 8 oz paint style cans are pressurized and are good for long term storage?

Stayed out till the sun went down trimming trees and cutting back the lantana while smoking Grousemoor

 

[Servant King]

Enjoyed a bowl of PSLNF in an Al Pascia meerschaum bent billiard with a nice glass of iced sun tea. Stopped about a third of the way in to put on some long pants and a flannel. No complaints here! 9.4/10
