***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

[TheIronMonkey]

Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a partially rusticated Brebbia Iceberg (stamped Jceberg) Long Shanked Canadian/Lumberman 800 (an unsmoked fully rusticated Jceberg with box in the background).



The unsmoked version (also stamped “Jceberg”) still has its original tissue paper and insert. It’s a relatively early version of the 800 and bears the Brebbia Gnome stamp. This is one of those instances where the collector in me will most likely preserve this pipe as unsmoked since it has all of its sundry ephemera and is an early example of this model. It helps that I have an 800 that I can smoke in its stead.

Now smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem.

I just noticed that we both do our smoking in the same exact blue Columbia jacket.

I really like both of these! Thanks for sharing.

I like this combo idea, I’ve been playing with adding perique and/or Kentucky to Veermaster

Don’t forget to add a little “cow bell” too

Mother Nature cranked up the wind machine today, so I'm not sure if it was me or her smoking Briar Fox. Have a good evening everyone!

Still wanting to form an educated opinion on straight unflavored burley but no longer trusting my old cob, I stuffed some C&D White Burley into my clay. It’s about as clean as I can get it without throwing into the oven for a clean cycle.

Not bad, but my impressions were mostly the same as before: some mild toasted wheat flavors, but the hints of cigar were still present along the way. I’m curious how blending with other tobaccos — to say nothing of casings/toppings — are able to obscure that so well.

@ThermionicScott Nice pipe - I like the classic clay pipe shape. Looks a very short stem on it! I don't recommend cleaning clay pipes in the oven as you can't get rid of the smell of stale baccy or the residue...

 

[The Clay King]

3 days on and off. But in a single sitting probably 30mins-1hour. I predominantly clench and walk around while smoking my clay, but I’m going into intensive rocky hibernation training now.

@Ahi Ka Keep up the training and good luck!

@BCF It was VERY windy the day I went to see the Sealed Knot at Bolsover Castle in 2019; Dad says I spent all day trying to light my clay

Absolutely gorgeous out today and up to a balmy 54 deg F. Getting outside for a little sun break with the 6 panel bent lattice meer and Peretti Thanksgiving Day blend, sparkly water, and a book
