***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***

[lukasstrifeson]

Been struggling with red virginias lately.. Trying again with some '11 Christmas Cheer and a slightly creamy coffee (Doc's rec that a more basic drink would help my mouth pH - seems to be working) in this Doctor's (not aforementioned) Bamboozled Bent Pot:

Looking forward to seeing the new creation.

@reloader , shouldn't be much longer on it.

Working on a presentation for St. Paddy's Day, smoking a bowl of C&D Haunted Bookshop in a Savinelli 624KS Regimental alongside a cup of Iron Bean Coffee.

Something just ain't right about this... ?

Maybe smoke one of your great Irish made pipes instead of an Italian made and it'll all come together

 

[Latakia Dave]

How many pipes have you made? And when did you start making pipes?

@Laurent , I'm currently on #13 and I started about a year ago with a Dr. Brogg kit pipe and then I made a few of the Compass style pokers with metal stems and then I bought a lathe last month and started buying briar and making them myself. I don't make the stems, I purchase those and finish work them.

Hitting the books again with a MM cob full of Royal Yacht. I had to scratch that itch. With age, I’ve gotten to be better at smoking a pipe and at forgetting what I’ve read.

Earlier I enjoyed a bowl of Presbyterian in a W.O Larsen

And I am currently about 2/3 the way through a bowl of 965 in a GBD paneled yacht.

Doug is a very knowledgeable guy, and his shop is well-stocked.

I couldn’t agree with you more my friend! Doug was incredibly kind and gracious with his time. And just a blast to get to sit and talk with. I picked up a Peterson 313 system standard in the heritage finish and a Peterson lighter while I was there. I would recommend the cargo hold anybody!

I believe it’s made by Rattray’s, or at least the ones listed on a tobacco retailer in the UK have the Rattray’s trefoil stamp. Might just be a consignment with their logo though. They’re about £100 + here, probably much cheaper on your side of the pond though, I’ve always wanted one myself.

It’s a Rattray’s. The steel is made by Laguiole.

 

[ashdigger]

I believe it's a Rattray's Pipe Knife with Thuya wood.

And Laguiole steel.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

This morning I’m trying out a sample of HU Nashville County broken flake and damn this is some great stuff.

 

[Streeper541]

Mid-day pipe...

A strong cup of Earl Grey tea to accompany some Irish Flake in a P-lip Peterson 107 Dublin Filtered billiard.





Sadly, I've only got two more of the old square tins before I have to start cracking into the newer stuff.

Did a set of walking reps on this warm, sunny day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
