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

[JimInks]

Some day, someone will be posting your pipes as an ode to the craft. May it be in the far distant future!

I'm not going anywhere while I have tobacco to smoke!!!

Thanks!

SG cabbies mixture in a Comoy grand slam patent 107 pot.

I am not a huge fan of the pot shape as it's usually feels too wide for the blends (VA's) that I enjoy but this mini pot, smokes awesome and feels just right.

Does the stem use a push tenon to join to the shank, or does it use a screw in tenon?

@JKoD and @SpookedPiper ... I have @sablebrush52 to thank for the Conrads. He's a real friend!

It's a push tenon, which baffled me a bit as it maybe a replacement. But it's rounded and definitely not thin bit, so it's not easily clenched.

How many Barlings do you have? That other one you posted some minutes back has awesome grain.

Thanks for the information. That's pretty early for a push tenon. It could be, and likely is, original. If it's a replacement you should see some reworking in the mortise, possibly the vestiges of the original thread cut into the mortise.
Looks to be in excellent condition. Enjoy!

Not many around 4, they have been great smokers except for a rusticated billiard that tastes funny, so I dedicated it to lat blends of which I rarely smoke. Definitely would say not enough, though ?.

Cube Cut is delicious isn't it? I wish all those old codgers of yesteryear could have found this instead of the OTC's.

It is indeed. I'm a fan.

Mac Baren Mixture Scottish in a Altinay translucent meer.

I got given a pipeful of Scottish blend when I met a fellow pipe smoker in a pub garden pre Covid19.

@edger I enjoyed it in my clay pipe - yes it is delicious!

I have three Barlings. I wish I had more, too. You can't have a enough of them. @sablebrush52 has a great collection of them. Maybe he'll post a couple here?
