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

[SpookedPiper]

That’s a very unusual date stamp on the band, looks double stamped, maybe a i on top of a h which would put it 1907-9. I’d love to see a closer pic if you don’t mind.

I am not sure if it's double stamped and I have not been able to find the date codes for it. I would be interested in learning more. Thanks.
Also the amber stem is very fragile as @jiminks was saying earlier so I may wrap it with vinyl tape when I smoke it again.

MrTom, are you in such a rush that you cannot share with us the shape or model of your pipes?
Enquiring minds inquire. I am not schizoid, as much as I used to be.

Hi @newsroom, the Dunhill is a red bark Zulu. I don't mind adding shape or model number, If you like. I don't have any big name artisan pipes or special pipes, compared to most posts, they are probably not worth mentioning. Enjoy your smoke.
Good night folks, Nightcap in a Peterson's Dracula.

Out on the deck smoking Ken Byron Ventures Mycroft ‘21 in a GBD Collector Virgin “tugboat” shape. Wild Turkey Rare Breed in the glass, good tunes on the Bluetooth speaker. Wishing all a good evening!

MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired in a Grabow Royal Duke straight apple with no filter. I dried this blend over night to a crispy texture. Better dry than fresh. More flavor and fewer lights. Hot Irish tea with a splash of milk.

Damn! Now pipes smokers have to enter the witness protection plan? Did they alter your voice too?

(Henry Perkins & Sons, London - meershaum pipe and case makers.
Henry Perkins started by making mounts for pipes from c. 1880, taking his sons as partners in 1901 changing the style of the firm to Henry Perkins & Sons - the sons/partners were Henry Charles, Arthur and Henry Perkins. The firm was converted into a limited liability company in 1922 under the style Henry Perkins & Sons Ltd. In 1923 they took two stands at the British Industries Fair to show their skills and produce. One stand was to show the pipes for which they were already famous and the other was to show their range of silver mounted glass including bottles, vases, jars, scent sprays etc.)

Couldn't sleep,...

If your post times are any indication I'm convinced that you never sleep. ?

Those American Hillbillies were mostly escaping the potatoe famine. I didn't know they took too smoking their shillelaghs.

Some Penzance in a Comoy Christmas 1994. Every time I smoke some I think that it's a good English, but come on, let's be realistic, it is NOT worth the insanity.

Started out with Kendal Plug in a cob. I rubbed out the tobacco to near dust and dried it to a crisp. After a dozen relights in the first quarter of the bowl, I dumped it out and now I am enjoying SWR in a Grand Duke.
