***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

[VDL_Piper]

Capstan Blue RR in a Castello #33 panel with some handy grain is the next smoke today.

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Tomorrow will be an off diet day. I'm near the first quarter of this bowl of KBV Dubai Chocolate beta test in a medium bend smooth paneled 2017 Celebi Turkish Meerschaum with a tapered gold and black swirl acrylic stem. Ismail made this meer for me as a token of friendship. Writing beta notes. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Some 5 year old Westminster in a Savinelli Roma Lucite bent pot. Absolutely perfect night in Northern New Jersey.

A gorgeous Texas evening with frogs and crickets, and clearly some cicadas. Oh, and cawing crows.

Got the VF Cherrywood Morta filled with SWR. Plus iced unsweet black tea with cream.

Aside: Got this pouch of SWR in April 2024, and it had a strong vinegar odor -- was basically unsmokeable. The seller promptly refunded me, saying they'd had several complaints about that. I stored it until now, and have found the vinegar about 90% dissipated, and it's quite smokeable. But, I have no idea if it's close to "correct" if you know what I mean, as it's the only SWR I ever tried. Anyone ever experience that? That's all. Cheers!

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Phillies game. Abner the Eager was on my lap for a few minutes, and then wanted out after a long day of snoozin' under the kitchen table. Harry the Hairy came in, was hissed at by Molly Danger, and ran to the back of the house. The other two are outside. Sleepy Suzy is by my side.

Samuel Gawith Grousemoor in the Luigi Viprati Collection Silver Dragon B pipe

 

[JazzInAZ]

The last of my fave GLP Key Largo in the Country Gentleman. (More is already on the way!) Still have iced unsweet black tea with cream.

Getting muggier as it gets later. And unfortunately no breeze, as evidenced by the smoke trail ...

 

[Bananacaravanadium]

Homebrew of Yorktown plus some stoved VA and Perique. I think it would be better without the stoved VA especially since Yorktown already has some in it.
Pipe is a Vauen Jay

Ryback+P in a Dr Grabow Color Duke.

 

[Puff nstuff]

More Evans Blend in this Merton prince from St. Claude. Happy with both. It's a bit steamy, so a glass of icy water helps.

 

[Staggerlee]

Does anyone know if there is a pipe blend with cloves like in clove cigarettes? I used to enjoy those when I still smoked cigarettes but I only smoke a pipe now.

I found this, but I have never tried it. Unfortunately, it only has a single review, so not much to go on.
It's called Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. Kendal Cloves.

Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
