***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

[Birddog66]

I liberated my first pipe from storage to return to active rotation after nearly four year’s absence, a straight pot I bought “refurbished” 35 years ago from Maison Edwards in Ann Arbor. I’ve never learned who made it; the only stamping states “ITALY.”

I prepped some Peterson Perfect Plug for the occasion.

I loaded the pipe last night and left out so the top would dry, and lit up this morning.

(Though with some effort this bowl’s been tamed to a very pleasant smoke, I think I’m back to slicing and rubbing out my next 3PPP session. The learning continues ... )

I lived in Anne Arbor in the early 90’s, beautiful town. I like to cut my 3P’s as fine as I can, rub it and leave it in the tin with the rest of the Plug overnight. It seems to burn beautifully in the morning.
Go Wolverines!

RB Plug cut and rubbed very fine in a Genoa Bantam, I pack just to the rim and get a lovely crown of ash poking its head up about half way through.
Couldn’t be arsed to cook dinner so I had fish and chips for the first time in years, with a bottle of “Old Speckled Hen”, maybe two.

Hearth and Home's Cerebus in my new Manelli pipe. Both excellent. Just the right amount of Latakia. So far, that's one of my favorite blends.

My VaPer, a special blend of Esoterica Brighton and St. James Perique, in a Caminetto 02-8-1-01 Bent Billiard.

Elwood Flake #2 in the Stanwell B&W Dublin. Bubblicious... the juiciest of fruits. Makes Erinmore look Erinless.

 

[Fiddlepiper]

Rattray’s Black Mallory (thanks to @danimalia for the recommendation) in 1973 Dunhill Root. Been enjoying ‘heavier’ English blends. They seem to suit the driving wind and rain for this evening especially. Shame I’m not inside in-front of a fire.
