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

[MrTom]

Good Day Folks, Hal O'The Wynd in a Rattray's .

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.

One of my objectives has been to attempt to blend an English-style mixture from the raw constituent leaf. This is tricky in particular because processed base components may be pleasant on their own but not necessarily work synergistically with other component leaf. I think this is the first time I can honestly say I've made a mixture that was more than the sum of its parts. Clockwise from noon: bright Virginia, toasted bright, dark air cured, two varieties of Oriental, red Virginia Cavendish, and (center) a conservative dose of Périque and Latakia.

I do the same thing sometimes... many times it works, sometimes not. ?

Russ’ Cavendish in the Woods in a “stretch” 1930’s Kaywoodie Drinkless Suntan 7013.

The stem was hacked when I got it. Had the button cut off and a round file used to cut some grooves emulating a button across the bit. I spliced a new rear section adding a few inches, hence the stretch...

Good Day Folks, Home Mix in a Savinelli. I'm listening to BBC Radio3.

I just keep puffing on Mad Fiddler.

Starting the day with HH Burley Flake in a J.T. Cooke Poker and black Sumatra coffee on the side. Storms starting to roll through so will be a great day to sit around and smoke a pipe.

 

[coming to_falling too]

Rattray's Brown Clunee in a sandblasted Chacom bent apple reverse calabash.

 

[JimK]

Good morning all! Starting with SG 1792 Flake mixed with Wilke Chocolate in a small Burak Connoisseur smooth Tankard with tapered stem. Herbal tea on the side. Deciding whether to open early (three months) one of five new GL Pease blends I picked up on sale and jarred.

 

[JimInks]

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Cigar(illo) time: Toscanello Nero.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2013 Solani 633 in a 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Still cleaning estate pipes. One of them is very stubborn about getting clean. Reminds me of somebody I know!
