Love Radice! Is it a reverse calabash?

Love Radice! Is it a reverse calabash?

No, just a really fat shank!

Hung out w/wifey in the workspace this afternoon, enjoying a bowl of Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend in my Savinelli Tortuga 614 faux-Hungarian. This is arguably the most non-aromatic aromatic I have ever had.

Agreed! My very first tasting note on Mixture was, "This blend is just excellent but I couldn't figure out why it's labeled as an aromatic."

I've smoked a lot of it since that first bowl, and my guess is that MacB has added some white sugar to the blend and then called it an aromatic. Excellent smoke nonetheless.

Nice 614!

Half way through this bowl of KBV Mr. Christian’s Kraken Plug in a post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. If you’re interested in getting one, please contact Smoking Pipes and ask them to put this model back into production. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Wow! Cool pipe! How did it smoke?

Great!

Very interesting codger blend! I'm not really a burley guy, but this has something quasi-exotic going on... Internet tells me coffee, but I feel like I'm getting something almost like Moroccan spice... But since no reviews say anything like that, that says more about me than about the tobacco ;-) In any case it's pretty darn cool to smoke a 60 yo tobacco!

It's very common for well aged burley blends to have some spice. I've experienced that many times.

Going to have Sutliff’s Birds of a Feather Paradoxical Signature Series by Per Georg Jensen (which just arrived today) in a Savinelli Punto Oro Corallo 614, 3/4 Bent Billiard.

Off to finish this Betty and Veronica story with a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

@PipeIT haha proud to admit I have more shirts with that theme in my closet. Those prints where somehow the thing you could get next to plain unicolor.

Yet another bowl of "Derriston". This time in an E. Wilke N.Y.C. smooth Dublin. A very good pipe. Kirkland scotch is my tipple.
Have a rewarding week, all.

Had a light snack, and am smoking Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed the ferals, too.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking 1980s Von Eicken’s Dark Flake Navy Cut in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Finished that job. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

Passing the half way mark on this bowl of Watch City Mistletoe Jam (Christmas 2022) in a 1979 smooth natural signed Rossi 1886 OomPaul 124 with a dark amber colored acrylic saddle stem. Deciding on whether or not to end the day with this smoke.

 

[UncleRasta]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Going to bed now having smoked the last of a year plus old Peterson Flake. My first tin of this blend. Hopefully, I will like it fresh as well.
