***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

[marlow-se]

Greve Hamilton in my only meer, a Peterson I bought in an estate haul a few months ago. Considering buying my first new meer pipe so I figured I should clean this up and try it out since I don't remember ever smoking one before.

Smoking my first pipe. Funny enough I won this pipe through a cartoon caption contest here years ago. Savinelli Sastina and some C&D Palmetto 2024

How does this pipe clench? Love the look of them but don't trust the stem.

I think it’s comfortable. The stem is rounder and thicker than what I would typically think of as being a clencher, but the overall size of the bit is small so it still works for me. The pipe is only around 30g, so that helps too.

The Ropp J11P, now smoking what P&C sent me as “GH&Co Coniston Unscented” which I do not believe is correct.
They did offer to refund IF I dragged it to UPS (after I told them I’d do USPS if they provided a label), but I’m just gonna chalk it up to experience, smoke some and maybe send the balance to a friend in WA that can’t buy tobak on line.

[JimInks]

A third of a bowl left of Watch City English Ernie-ental in a straight dark brown and tan rusticated Peterson 2023 Saint Patrick’s Day 264 Canadian with an Irish flag colored ferrule and tapered black acrylic stem. Had an enjoyable chat with the friend who adopted the two orange tabbies. They are doing magnificently well.

Just finished a bowl of Captain Earle’s Mystic blend with an extra oinch each of Latakia and perique in my new pipe from SeaSmoke

2016 GH&CO Kendal Flake in a Butz-Choquin Blazon.

 

[troutface]

Salty Dogs in a Wiley. Still not getting much out of this blend, even after aging it awhile. Any suggestions ?

 

[Fralphog]

A 2006 Boswell freehand that hasn’t seen any action for some time. This pipe is surprisingly light for as large as it is. Going back to the GLP Cairo again; I really like this blend. A local brewery, Sockeye Dagger Falls IPA.

Thank you. I have the entire set, and they arrived on my birthday. Most of them were presents from my friends, which makes them even more precious to me. If you or some others don't know the story behind them, here's a link that may be of interest.

The story was fascinating. I don't have any of these heritage pipes, but in '13 I bought a set of 309's .... a smooth & a donegal rocky. I sort of knew the long history of the 309 but didn't know they would be discontinued ('17 ?) -- too similar to the 338 & the 313 plus apparently sales of the 309 had gone down. I mainly bought mine because of this classic pic of Lee Van Cleef, although I've read that this may actually have been a Wellington. Regardless, I cherish owning my two 309's.

C&D Yorktown from 2019 in my MM Great Dane.
This is one of my favorite pipes.
Not because its beautiful, but because it tastes and smokes great.
And its easy to clench while talking to you guys.
I recently smoked a jar of Yorktown from 2015.....this 2019 tastes about the same....who knew.
