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

[sardonicus87]

This tastes much better today than yesterday, amazing what 24 hours can do after the initial breaking of the vacuum seal and that minimal amount of air exposure.

Enjoying a bowl out of the “Odds and Ends” jar in the Pre-Republic 363 after a tasty Jersey Mike’s #4.
Debating on leaving stem as-is or bending it back to its original curve (this is how it came to me).

Bend it! That gradual, arched bend looks so wonderful on a Pete system.

First smoke of May is Orlik Golden Sliced in my Vauen Cambridge 192 with tapered fishtail acrylic stem and 9mm filter. I enjoyed this in my meer last night and thought I would see how it is in a briar.

The way it is probably is best if you hold your pipe but with more bend it's probably better for clenching ?

1st time with this. Glad I came across this in my research on the forums.

I was actually thinking the opposite.
If you look at post #37, I don’t think I want it dangling closer, and that may be why someone bent it to where it is now.
Then again, I may try it-firing up the goatee on relights may break up the monotony of the day…

If I'm not wrong this famous Walnut by Ogden's of Liverpool goes now under the name Original Flake by Mc Barens?

I do believe you are correct, sir. However, i've never tasted said new production, so not sure if there are any flavor variations with the newer rendition.

I wish! Busy day, but my yard work is just beginning. First, tho...one more pipe!
Enjoy that bones!

I’m sticking with the Irish theme since I’m still working on the Bram Stoker® Awards issue of Weird Tales Magazine. Having Peterson University Flake in a Briar Pipes Limited. (B.P.L.) Shamrock and Harp Carved Bent Billiard with a B.P.L. stamped vulcanite stem, from Dublin, Ireland—this pipe seems like it may be the Peterson 69 Shape. B.P.L. was known for issuing a number of Peterson shaped pipes for sale at Shannon Airport.

Nice old pipe!

 

[condorlover1]

It is Flake, from a tin.

Thats the bearable one. The 'Mixture' is like sucking farts out of a Swan!
