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

[infectedpsyche]

Looks sweet man! Did you just warm up the beeswax and apply it with the terry cloth?

Yessir! I took a 1oz small block of it cut up into a 4oz mason jar and melted in the microwave. I then dabbed it all over with stem removed, mortise plugged with pipe cleaner and chamber plugged with paper towels. Looked gross to start (goopy and white) but just kept at it for about 30min with the towel. Shined up real nice with no tacky texture! I still have well over 3/4 of that, now firm, beeswax left for more raw pipe shining in the future

Relaxing after after a wonderful salad, orange roughy and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've passed the bottom third of this bowl of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth dark brown octagonal paneled mid-60s-early 70s Corporate Era Barling 4945 London England T.V.F. billiard with a square shank and black tapered square stem. This pipe is from the estate of David Cuneo. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Going to clean a few pipes soon.

Capstan Blue in a 1914 Peterson System

Love it

Pegasus in a Peterson earlier, now '19 Burley Flake #3 in a Stanwell


Older Pic from Fall season a few years ago. @AppalachianPipe92 has me thinking about fishing. Spring Steelhead opened yesterday but I usually leave 'em alone in the spring

Both smokes were just great. Hope everyone had an OK weekend

My Hobbiton Harvest in a Peterson Roslare Royal Irish 106. This pipe is usually dedicated to Rattray's Exotic Passion, and is pretty heavily haunted by the orange ghost, which is quite fitting with its orange swirled stem. But since this blend is 1/3 Exotic Passion anyway, I suppose it will do just fine

Now smoking year 2021 KBV Your Welcome in a straight smooth dark brown 1930s (Comoy’s) Canadian Club 230 eight paneled billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Halfway through a big bowl of GLP Maltese Falcon in a Digby billiard. Watching lightning come in over the lake. Hopefully I'll be done before the rain comes down.

I think I almost bought this pipe. Is it an astas meer? Wonderfully carved. Enjoy it in good health.

It is. It was a gift. I’ve really enjoyed it.

MB Dark Twist Cake in a Comoy’s Dunbar I restored.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Solani 633 in a straight smooth brown Algerian briar post-WW2-mid 50s family era Barling’s Make Ye Olde Wood Straight Grain Made in England bulldog with a diamond shape shank and black ebonite stem. This pipe came from the estate of David Cuneo.

HH Latakia Flake in the Radice.

 

[LeafErikson]

It is. It was a gift. I’ve really enjoyed it.

Good. Now you can finally stop talking all that nonsense about the smell of ‘warmed briar’ and join the dark side. Or the light side? Or the side that is slowly darkening with every smoke? Well, you know what I’m saying.

Smoking one of my favorite combos, Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake Aromatic in the small but powerful Kaywoodie 7795B Pot. Everything tastes good in this pipe, its magic

 

[Sobrbiker]

Overseeded the paddock and press cover on them this time, while the ribs smoked. Friends arrived just as we finished up, ribs were et, takes were told, laughs were had.
I had a couple smokes of GH&Co Brown Twist and a buddy had a couple cigars.
Mama made lemon meringue and pecan pies that were delicious.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, fed all the ferals except for Abner the Eager, and am smoking year 2012 Rolando’s Own in a smooth straight 1960s 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. Watching an episode of Cannon starring Mr. Conrad.

Today was a mild aromatic kind of day in Pgh. Started out with Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice in an IMP meerschaum bent apple and finished off the day with a bowl of 2020 Erinmore Flake in a Savinelli Dry System bent billiard.
