***What Are You Smoking, May 2021?***

Stonehenge Flake in a MM Country Gentleman cob.

Well my Frankencake No2 turned out pretty well for the first half of the bowl, after that the awful topping of the Comoy’s Cornish (that forms the bulk and was described as like a hot buttered tea cake, it ain’t), a bitter spice combination, starts to dominate. I have a feeling that nothing is going to disguise this Comoy’s Cornish dreadful taste and I’d be better off binning it or offering it to the gods, although it might offend them as much as it does me.
I’m going to have a small bowl of Autumn Evening to sweeten my taste buds a little, in the Kiko meer lined bent bulldog.
Live and learn eh..

@Birddog66 I'll have it if you don't want it!

Janus in System Standard 301. Best 301 I could find. The blend was fully rubbed. Intense. Prefer it in flake form.

Mac Baren’s Stockton in a Scottie Piersel’s pencil shanked Dublin. Maybe a dozen bowls so far with this blend. It is much sweeter than I expected by the description. Not in a bad way, just surprised me. This bowl was from some coins left in a pouch for a few days. Bone dry. First 1/3 of the bowl was reminiscent of Dark Star...
Maybe extra crispy is desired moisture for this. Will have to try again.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Full Virginia Flake in a Savinelli Dolomiti 602 while restoring a True Temper Kelly Perfect double bit axe

@deadidunn I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake I got from @marconi and @tozert it clay pipes. Nice axe head - I'm thinking of having a go at axe throwing when the pandemic is over.

Mac Baren Virginia No.1 in a clay.
Had a couple of pints of Bakewell Best Bitter today in my pewter tankard; it goes with the red coat and the clay pipe!

2012 John Alesbury Luxury Flake in a Jack Howell Rhodesian.

 

[hauntedmyst]

Now finishing a bowl of GH&Co Dark Birds Eye in a 1977 Dunhill Bruyere ODA 806 apple. I just realized, this pipe was made during my Freshman year of high school! It doesn’t seem like 45 years ago. Life does fly by!

 

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of Fribourg & Treyer Vintage in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Now on to a bowl of H&H Fusiliers Ration in the same pipe as before.

A wee bit of the Scottish Flake, in a Castello

 

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time to do some walking reps.

 

[rushx9]

ET Pembroke in a Volkan(A.P.) Poesia Brandy/Billiard.

 

[Birddog66]

Sav Janus in the Dr Plum 1837, these two go well together, I might dedicate this pipe to Janus (the tobacco not the god)
