***What Are You Smoking, May 2020?***

[maulragoth]

First ever smoke of Rattray's Marlin Flake in a bent Twain cob /w black/white swirled Regal Forever Stem. Quite a zesty citrus sour tang with very little grass, over subdued wood and faint earth. Quite smooth flavor and burn. The tang intensity being very strong rolls right on the edge of a little spice at times, but no real spiciness, more on the verge of mouthwatering all the way to bottom 1/3 so far.

Smoking SPC Plumb Pudding in a black, sandblasted 60’s era Stanwell Sixten designed hybrid of Dublin, Pear, and Lumberman. I love the vulcanite saddle mouthpiece. The man was a true artist.

Arango Balkan Supreme in a Ropp Vintage Stout bulldog with tapered stem of horn.

Have you noticed any different about the experience of smoking with those horn stems? I wonder why they’re not more widely used...

Sutliff Field and Stream match, in a Nording signature freehand gifted by a longtime pipe smoking guy and his wife; my first bowl of this blend, it's a flavorful mild tobacco forward aromatic.

Another Pipestud acquisition, from a batch I acquired from him a few months ago. Brebbia Triade pot, unsmoked till now. Frog Morton clone from Gatlinburlier, a blend one of the guys made up & called "Not No Local." Great smokes, both pipe & leaf!I
