***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

[JimInks]

Fed Daisy the Feral Princess, Harry the Hairy and my cats, and have passed the last third of this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth dark brown 1950s Comoy’s Deluxe apple military mount with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Snacking follows this smoke. Two of the three estate pipes are clean enough to smoke, and I'll test one out after I eat. One more needs a little more work in the bowl, and the other two are works in progress. I picked the Elizabethan Match for this Comoy's because I wanted a bigger pipe to smoke EM on occasion aside from those in my regular rotation.

I lied. Second and I’m sure last pipe of the night is Chenet’s Cake in a Ron Smith.

@tubbyninja1337 did yours arrive yet?

Funny you should ask because guess what just arrived today!



I really love the size and can't wait to have my first smoke with it. I can't find any flaws with it being an estate pipe either. Thanks again

Drexel II in this Grabow Commodore poker. It's an adjustomatic with the little removable stinger. Works great with this tobacco; and a nip of Bushmill's on ice.

Enjoyed a little low calorie snacking, fed an extra hyper Tomato the Brave again, unloaded the dishwasher, played with Molly Danger, and am half way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-early 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood T.V.F. Made in England EL billiard with a tapered black ebonite stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. This is one of the pipes I finished cleaning tonight. I picked SJF because the bowl is just a little bigger than the Dunhill I usually smoke it in. Now, when I want a little more than the 1968 Tanshell Dunhill offers, I have this one to rely on. Not going to stop smoking that Dunhill though. This leaves me with eight cleaned estates to match with blends. Some are hard to figure because the bowls are big, and there are some blends that don't work for me in big bowls, except on occasion. The smaller ones... I'm picky about them, too. Luckily for me, I plan on living for a long time, so I have an excuse to bide my time for the right match.

Just finished smoking year 2019 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. Finished pipe cleaning tonight, too. Sleepy Suzy is very happy about that since I haven't spent as much time with her as she wants. She's by my side now. Going to check on the ferals in a couple of minutes.

Last smoke of the day is my first smoke of the regular Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I got most of the Double Shot ghost out. That took some time, but I can certainly tell the difference between those two blends. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess and Harry the Hairy. Thought I'd see Tomato the Brave again, but maybe he ate enough tonight. He may still show up, the li'l rascal. Reading while this bowl lasts.

Turns out that I have a couple of things to finish reading before bedtime, so I'm having a bowl of year 2020 Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem.

I’d say a few notches above decent!

Never slept, so I am up and smoking year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a 1978 smooth dark brown medium bend Danish Special Made in Denmark (Stanwell second) tapered egg with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a few years, but I frequently did the first ten-fifteen years after I bought it at my local Tinderbox. The draft area in the shank was a tad tight, and Basil Meadows fixed that for me for cooler, dryer smoke. I figure if I'm awake, it should be, too.

All men are created equal, but Marxman pipes were not.

This morning I’m enjoying Velvet in a Slimline Benchmade $10 grade “C” that is a perfect hand made pipe from the late forties, made before whatever process Marxman later used that turned a new pipe to oxblood in one smoke.




The hard times of the Korean War price freeze can be seen in three hole stinger Kaywoodies, stamped star Lees, and at Marxman, machine shaped Benchmade and Jumbo pipes that turn oxblood in one smoke.
