*** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2017)

[JimInks]

Old Dark Fired in a quarter bend 1970s GBD Prehistoric Rhodesian 9438 with a perspex stem. Watching The Phantom.

 

[weezell]

Cornell & Diehl: Big 'n' Burley in a MM Cob...

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Esoterica Dorchester in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad, too! My second Conrad pipe.

Just finished a bowl of Luxury Bullseye Flake and am following that up with some Old Dark Fired. MM Country Gentleman for both.

 

[ukbob]

Macbaren Virginia no1 in a semi bent Falcon.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem. I did finish work for the day, too.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut in a 2016 Peretti's M.T. Natural made in Holland straight smooth brown Algerian briar billiard. Watching Cheyenne.

 

[newbroom]

Farmer's Gold 'smooth' with added Perique in a MM Pride using a Barling replacement 'military mount' stem I had to modify to make comfortable because my 'stem guy' didn't bother to do any finish work other than polish the new 'blank'.

The button was huge and sharp edged. A little dremel, file and micro mesh work made it much more comfortable.

 

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. This will finish my smoking day and my stash of Granger.

 

[newbroom]

D&R London Dock in a Roger's Standard smooth straight apple, a hidden gem in a 'group' estate buy intended for the racks in the deal.

A rare aromatic smoke for me. I find it very similar to another aro, SWRA, but maybe more flavorful. I have no idea what the flavoring is, but to me, there seems to be a cherry note. Smooth and easy burning with no goop and a mild to medium nic content.

The Roger's apple is small so I don't use up this tin too fast.

SWRA in a MM Washington.

 

[cortezattic]

D&R Rimboché A.P. in an IL Ceppo sandblasted Rhodesian, with coffee and the morning paper.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Tilbury in the Pipe Dan Shape Reformed 35-666.

Chamber is no more than a hair over .5" but I've got a tamper that works for it. Nice, light and jaunty smoker.

 

[cortezattic]

P&C's Sundown (by McClelland), cut with C&D's blending White Burley, in a GBD New Era squat bent bulldog (549).

 

[papipeguy]

Stonehenge in a Larrysson Rhodesian.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. A bottle of Cheerwine made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

 

[glassjapan]

Having some SG Best Brown Flake in my Rad Davis smooth bent egg. A good change of pace since I've been tearing up GLP Temple Bar lately.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking D&R Windsail Platinum in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking P&W #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[colorduke]

Prince Andrew in a Rob Roy cob with sweet tea.
