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

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2013 Dunhill Flake in a straight smooth 1960 Dunhill DR 137 group 4 root briar canted dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Had a few friends over this evening. One brought a tin of C&D Billy Budd. I had not yet tried that blend, but it had been on my list for some time. I was pleasantly surprised, and will definitely be ordering some more of that in the near future for my own cellar. Fantastic!

The fellowship and whiskey weren't bad either.

Now smoking several years old Dunhill Elizabethan in a straight smooth, dark brown patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

First up is its younger sibling, a 1919 Barling straight billiard motor dome with slotted bit
This and the 1905 were given the Geoff Watson “treatment”


A bowl of Esoterica Margate

And with it a snifter of Hine Triomphe

Now smoking Peterson Standard Mixture in a Peterson Dracula. It's a Smokey one tonight.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and have about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Esoterica Tilbury in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a silver band and a black acrylic stem. Cleaning some pipes.

You’re smoking a pipe and watching a show while “working”.

 

[OzPiper]

The bowl of Margate was very enjoyable, albeit short smoke due to its shag cut and the Barling having a group 3 bowl

Next up is Margate’s sibling,
Pembroke. Tin from 2010
Allegedly the same blend but with a cognac topping

In a 1905 Barling bent billiard motor dome. Orific bit
This, like the previous 1919 was expertly cleaned and spruced up by Geoff Watson of Cambridge Pipe Repairs


With another measure of the marvellous Hine cognac
