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

[AppalachianPipe92]

Some GH Brown Flake U/S to start the evening. Smoking from a Peterson estate

 

[Tar Wheel]

I’m smoking Dunbar in a Patriot Cob and having a pour of A Midwinter Nights Dram, an appropriate nip on this frigid evening. Cheers!

 

[renfield]

Cigar tonight. A Churchill sized Arganese that was part of a sampler I got a ways back. I actually prefer corona sized cigars to these behemoths.

Had a couple pre dinner pipes. Duke Albert in a Medico bulldog followed by Old Joe Krantz Blue in a Wally Frank White Bar Second with bourbon on the side. Ribeye and roasted carrots and potatoes for dinner.

I tried to teach those stubborn widdle icebergs how to swim, but all they do is dog paddle to oblivion.

The bergs don't dog paddle, they are hardcore. The bergs bathe in their own fluids.

It's rituals like this that allow for brilliant reviews en masse from a super taster.

Some say Robert Johnson sold his soul at the crossroads. JimInks drinks ice water and bergs and is a master of his craft.

Pressed Virginia/Burley in a Charatan 610.

Did you press the mixture yourself (like in a noodle press)?

I'm interested in doing the same to make cakes and "plugs". The noodle press has arrived, now I need the time.

 

[The Clay King]

Been litter picking yesterday; collected 3 bags of rubbish!
Met a fellow pipe smoker who let me have a pipeful of Gawith Hoggarth Black and Brown. Smoked it in a clay pipe.

 

[Eye-level]

Starting my evening relaxation time with a bowl of the 300 Blend in the Savenelli Linea 76 02. Also having a couple Rolling Rocks not sure how this is going to go over but I'm going to try.

 

[Servant King]

A rare multi-pipe day for me. Half-bowl of Woodbridge (sample) in my Savinelli Tortuga 614 Oom Paul. Less birds now, mainly ravens, sparrows, and with spring just over a week away, the first American robin of the season.

No noodle press needed as I have an old bench vice.. All I did was press the tobacco as hard as I could into the corner of the pouch it came in. Then place it in between two thin pieces of hard wood and place the lot in the vice. I turned the handle tighter and tighter over several days then left it for several days more.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, grouper and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed three ferals who I know are cold outside, and m'lady and I are watching a Tim Holt western.

Getting a bit windy ?️; reminds me of the day I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle ? and Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clay pipe
Need a good warming blast of pipe smoke in this weather!!!

Mid 1980s FALCON INTERNATIONAL

1977: Falcon introduced an entirely new concept to pipe smoking, the Falcon International Filter Pipe, with detachable mouthpiece for optional filter use. Application of ABS cooling material ensures a cool smoke.
