Peterson deluxe Navy Rolls in this one

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Going for the full Prince Albert experience (sans piercing, thank you) and going to light up some Prince Albert tobacco in a black, Gutta-percha Figural of King Edward VII of Britain (the Prince Albert depicted on the tobacco tin) with a briar insert, and orific bit, circa early 20th Century, probably the ’teens. I’m breaking in a Thunderbird butane pipe insert in my Prince Albert Zippo.

About a third of the way through this bowl of Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

My buddies and I had a great Saturday ZOOM.
Lots of pipe and tobacco talk and the usual ball-busting.
I smoked my Upshall rusticated Lovat, filled with slightly rubbed-out Orlik Golden Sliced from a new tin, gifted to me by a friend for my birthday, a couple of weeks ago. It was my first smoke of this blend, and though it was fresh out of the tin, I was very pleased with the rich taste and aroma.
A mug of Upton Tea's Baker Street Afternoon Blend with some orange blossom honey and a splash of Grand Marnier went nicely with the smoke.
(Never mind the Peterson Sherlock Holmes tin, I didn't want to retake the photo)

Smoking some Cult Blood Red Moon in a cob. Pretty good cherry.

Now smoking C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Are my eyes deceiving me, what the flip am I reading here? LOL

‘Our horse is moving in with us’

Well I hope he’s at least paying for his share of the rent. LOL

If by "paying" you mean "defecating profusely," then yes, he most certainly will be...

No better companion activity to mucking stalls than pipe smoking! So there's that.

Just saw one of my favorite guitarists, Molly Tuttle. Was an awesome weekend full of bluegrass. Now to make half the drive home. This should last me - a bowl of G&H Burley and Bright, and a Serie D No. 4

I never thought Tuttle was a real name, thought it was a fictitious name. LOL

Reminded me of Archibald “Harry” Tuttle from the movie Brazil. LOL

Finally home and unpacked. 11pm after a week away with no pipe. out to exercise the 6 panel bent lattice meer with some Wessex Brown Virginia Flake and water. Jarred flakes from a tin I have been loving on. The taste is.. flat. ashy. My tastebuds are still working- i sure don't think it is the Rona. WTF? a bit of flavor finally coming in about 1/4 way in. hmm. not delicious tonight. :-(

I just tried Half & Half last night, pretty good if humble introduction to Virginias. I really think every pipe smoker should try a few codgers, there's something about kicking back with a blend that's been enjoyed by your predecessors for 100 years if not more.

 

[Scottmi]

Enjoying a bowl of Mocha Strips and a cup of coffee as I stare out at the freaking SNOW! (Go home Colorado spring weather, you’re drunk!)

snow on my truck this morning, too. started about midnight. 1/4 inch of slush by the morning. was in tshirt by 11am

 

[Sobrbiker]

Got a Lee Three Star bent billiard in today, cleaned up and trying it out with some BLWB/805 mix.
Probably will be up for swap, smokes well, I just think the shape is not for me.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2007 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth brown circa 1950s-60s BBB Contrast 506 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Molly Danger finally came out of the bed room to eat, and though she tends to be a nibbler, she's having extra now.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of Prince Albert in a 2020 smooth light brown, slight bent J. Everett straight grain chubby author with a spalted birch ferrule and a black saddle vulcanite stem in the military mount style. I'll probably end the day with this smoke. Time to check on the ferals.

 

[PipeIT]

John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a Bay Denmark apple with bamboo and cumberland stem.

This one is for @hoosierpipeguy & @JimInks I see also always puffing this.

What a great blend!

Be well everyone!



P.S. It’s late here, but getting ready to watch the new Top Gun on Prime.

Good afternoon. Yesterday, at the wedding of my sister-in-law and brother, I was smoking some cigars, Toscano and some short H Upmann. Now with the first third of mb virginia flake, in a stanwell calabash. I wish you guys a happy Sunday.

Evening all. I’ve been on a self ( family) imposed smoking sabbatical for the last several weeks. Haven’t been able to shake a persistent cough, and the wife immediately zeroed in on the pipe. I begrudgingly agreed to a pause, because frankly I was starting to worry myself. Tests have been run and everything checks out fine, although the speculation is that it’s a long term effect of covid.

I‘ve been left home alone this evening and plan on taking full advantage of the situation. I’m stepping outside on this gorgeous Carolina evening with a bowl of Capstan flake and a pour of Four Gate bourbon. Damn near giddy in anticipation.

Cheers!
