***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

[HawkeyeLinus]

Several pages behind, the kids and plus one (and he’s a good guy, way to go girl) are gone and arctic weather is gone for about three days, snow melted and near 60 degrees! Deck! Starting with Irish Breakfast tea with Peterson University Flake in a Peterson K&P Xmas ‘22 XL 11 - a good pipe for taking a breather and a good companion!

Glengarry in a Manx

What’s the name of them? I wouldn’t mind one myself.

It is a collaboration between Missouri Meerschaum and Moonshine pipes.

Germain’s Brown flake in an Armentrout Apple

 

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps, play catch with Tomato, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Sun Bear in Peterson SH Rathbone P-lip. Nice warm sun. Classic Queen goes well with the weather.

Shaping up to be a two pipe day for me, due to the unusually warm morning (low 50s). After our usual Sabbath breakfast, it seemed natural to throw my robe over my PJs and have a morning smoke on the deck in the sun. Went with my old VA standby, Ashton Gold Rush, in my Stefano Santambrogio bent Rhodesian, which worked out perfectly since it was already previously dried. Cup of Earl Grey tea with that. Planning on going lunting after lunch to work off some of my last two dinners; leaning toward Sutliff Lavish English #17 in my MM Country Gent. Bird report (so far): White-breasted nuthatch, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, California towhee, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, California thrasher. House finch, White-crowned sparrow, Chipping sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, Red-tailed hawk, and Western bluebird.

Happy weekend everyone!

C&D’s -We Three Kings- in a Peterson System 314

 

[edger]

Started the day with C&D Three Friars in a Grabow Royal Duke straight smooth apple. Continued with C&D Derringer in the same pipe. The nylon stems on these pipes are more comfortable than acrylic and don't oxidize. I find myself wanting more Grabows as this one gets overworked in the rotation. Sipping some Belfast Punjana black strong tea with a splash of milk. Listening to various classical music stations on TuneIn internet radio and catching up with some neglected issues of National Review. I miss WFB!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a third of the way through this bowl of year 2022 Peretti Thanksgiving Day Blend in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.

Soon a “pre-packed” forum influenced bowl! @Chasing Embers encouraged my interest in a Christmas themed pipe from J. Everett a couple of years ago (stay tuned for the ‘22 version) and I got a really old tin of Dunhill Ye Old Signe from Secret Santa @captainsousie last year (he also very generously included an old Comoy’s Canadian which is having a little stem work done by @georged, along with another pipe previously owned by @ssjones). Happy Christmas season! Great way to get back into the forum after a great Thanksgiving!

2012 Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls in a Jack Howell Paneled Billiard.

Cringle Flake 21 in a Sav. Still enjoying the blend a lot.

I've been watching one of these on eBay, but they are going for a lot more than I want to pay for a cob and the pics didn't seem like the cob portion itself was as nice as yours. It is the coolest cob I've seen though. Wonder what they went for new.

Just get a regular one and stain it black.

Almost there.

After a wonderful Thanksgiving leftovers lunch, I’m headed outside in the sun for a hearty smoke.
The Altinay Rusticated Dublin Meer packed with 50/50:
HH ODF and 2017 C&D Yorktown
A cup of strong, black coffee on the side.

Getting ready to go on an adventure with some Wild Turkey 101 and some Tabac De La Semois: Reserve du Patron, maybe I'll wander the paths of Mirkwood and visit Lake-town...

 

[Chasing Embers]

More of the same for work today.

LJ Peretti Tropical Fruit in a new-to-me gourd Calabash with meerschaum bowl. I was told it is an Andreas Bauer but there’s no markings. Love the pipe either way.

A Hugg and a Doran.

I had those and a Friddo about seven years ago. Really great pipes. Crazy how much they've jumped in price, back then they were $95.
