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

[UncleRasta]

An exquisite WCC Rhythm & Blues smoke in my Savinelli 114 Porto Cervo. These days I'm really enjoying this blend and also Opening Night. I particularly like the tang in those blends and understand that it's probably the Red Virginias. Can those in the know point me in the direction of blends with a similar taste profile, please?

Grousemoor. I jarred the bag and left some sitting out for 48+ hours. I think it actually dried out some! Watching Manifest. pretty decent. But now on to my book. Peter Hamilton's Salvation series. Gotta see what the aliens are up to.

 

[AvgKsHunter]

Popped tin of Cobblestones Limited Pressed Plum Rum and smoked in a Pete Aran 701 poker. Need more time with this tobacco, and likely in a wider bowl, but so far I like it.

Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem.

Tonight’s menu, Dark Twist in a Nutten’s pipe and a glass of Oaxaca Old Fasion. View attachment 207126

By "Oaxaca" you mean it's made with mezcal?

Yesterday and today, I had some business to attend off the island, at a factory on the mainland near Busan.
took the opportunity of smoking Three Nuns in my Tom Eltang Devil Anse, going to and from, both days.

 

[JimInks]

About a quarter of a bowl left of Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Some snacking follows this smoke. Listening to Dragnet on the XM.

Now Still Smoking: Blended up the next sized Micro-Batch - 1.5 grams advances to 3.0 grams - of M.B. White's JAN1946 award-winning blend which appeared in the January 1946 issue of Pipe Lover's Magazine. I split this 'Round 2' tasting sample between the little clay Cutty pipe - as shown back in post #967 - and the other 2/3rd of the Micro-Batch in one of my regular Smokers; being: an Italian made 5.25" Molina Barasso-series, Volcano, unfinished and sandblasted - which The Amazing Wifey applied her art talents to with 2 different colors of her alcohol-based dyes, to create the colors you see here, of this once blonde pipe - Aluminum ring, bent Acrylic Stem and Fishtail bit.



I'd love to know what M.B. White, of Des Moines, Iowa, would think about someone making up a sample of his award-winning JAN1946 Burley blend, and was smoking AND writing about it 77 years after the fact....

Anyone seen my Ouija Board? - Sherm Natman

Half way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Daisy the Feral Princess and Tomato the Brave were very eager to eat, and gave them enough to keep them stuffed for a while. I figured out Shy Stripesy's new stealthy MO, so I left food for her that I know she'll eat, but D&T won't. That'll help her out when she shows up from now on.

Now smoking Angler's Dream in a 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 egg with a smooth brown front and a black sandblasted back with a dark gold ferrule and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style.

StBruno in Bewlay and Ethiopia coffee (aeropress)

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am smoking Dan Tobacco The Mallard Flake Plus Perique in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown with black stripes acrylic stem.

 

[gamzultovah]

Scottish Flake in an IMP. @gamzultovah sent me a half pound, extremely generous. Thanks Robert, I like this tobacco a lot.

Mix it 50/50 with the Louisiana Flake and you’ll have a little slice of heaven.

 

[haebar]

Up early and smoking some Carter Hall in a Sunrise Dublin. Surprised I haven't tried this blend sooner; it's a little milder and smoother than Haunted Bookshop or Five Brothers. Wouldn't have bought a can unless a fellow in our pipe club smoked it exclusively. Made me wonder if I should try it.

 

[gamzultovah]

Smoking GH & Co. Scotch Flake in my Graziano Tendi Dublin.

 

[JimInks]

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem.

HU Tobacco - Dockworker Flake in a Diplomat 5th Avenue Cob and a Cup of Joe.

 

[eljimmy]

Enjoying some early morning SG KC Flake.

 

[BCF]

Half and Half in the Weber. Good stuff. Enjoy the day!
