***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

[FurCoat]

No pipe for me again today! Still struggling with this terrible sinus infection that makes you feel like you have gone all in with Keith Richards for a quick toot which quickly became a lost weekend! My day looks like water, Claritin and tinned soup. Hardly an inspiring pairing but I am told by Wednesday/Thursday I will be back to normal. Enjoy your pipes chaps!

Whenever I feel the onset of a sinus infection, I rinse them out with a saline spray a couple of times a day. Seems to do the trick. Get to feeling better.

C&D Redburn in a Wessex Roma sandblasted bent Rhodesian. The first time I tried this tobacco, I did not like it. Put it away for 4 months and coming back to it now, it's delicious. Learning as I go!

Just finished 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. Close to finishing the review, too.

I’ve been on an “opening” kick as of late.

Smoking on my first tin of H&H Viprati in a Tillshead tall billiard. This is probably my 4th or 5th bowl from this tin and I am really enjoying this blend.View attachment 221867

I have a tin in my “queue” drawer. I bought when I got my first Viprati pipe. I’m looking forward to trying it one day. May be awhile though, I keep adding tins to my drawer!

BS Flake in a WDC JumboView attachment 221945

Hard to tell how jumbo this is but it’s easy to tell how lovely it is.

2015 HH Pure VA in my Castello stack.

Hard to tell how jumbo this is but it’s easy to tell how lovely it is.

It's quite a large pipe. In the picture I have a CPF/KB&B Chesterfield and the bowls are about the same size. I added a Peterson 68 for comparison.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, blue catfish and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. Smoked a bowl of aged Rattrays Hal O’ The Wynd in a straight smooth brown pre-WWII (Comoy’s) Corinthian De-Luxe 126 pot made for Sutliff in San Francisco with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Watching the Braves-Rangers game.
