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

[HawkeyeLinus]

Decided to try this GL Pease Bankside in a Peterson K&P (Book of) Kells XL90. I was skeptical based on the tin note, but a little ways in I’m finding it interesting. Maybe I was apprehensive about the Latakia (the Perique is coming through and that isn’t an issue but I’m usually not choosing Virgina with Perique). It’s fine, so I’m just sipping and taking it in on a welcome Friday night.

Westminster in a Savinelli Roma Lucite bent pot. I've been craving this for a month. I've missed this blend. I think I got too cool for latakia in the past year and smoked nothing but Burley or vaper blends. I'm an idiot. An idiot that needs another latakia pipe or two.

Yesterdays second 1/2 bowl of Newminster 400 NF in the Erica 302 (Pete 2nd) ... then 1/2 bowl of same in the Barontini 1/2 spigot. Tonight I'm taking a pass as it dropped below 32 degrees and is flurrying. It may develop to light snow but there is a sharp cold wind.

Good evening gents, tonight it’s 2018 Acadian VaPer in the no name dublin. Industrial Arts Impact Wrench is my warm up brew, Sleeping on the Beach will be next.

This has got to be one of the best looking Peterson's I've ever seen. Tnx for the pic!

Mac Baren HH Old Fired Ready Rubbed in a cob. THIS goes with the black decaf!
Have to admit.. burleys (at least in blends) are growing on me.

I’m always lowering my expectations from the website photos. These were apparently only for sale in Germany and got it for a good price from Pipe-24. They shipped from Germany on Tuesday and it arrived today! More than twice as fast as SP EU, but things from them out of Dublin regular post always take a little time. My pic is unusually accurate - that’s really how it looks which is great by me. Liking the chamber on this shape.

2012 BBF in a Rad Davis.

Decided on a themed Dunhill day

First up a bowl of Dunhill Durbar
In a Dunhill sitter straight billiard with a tapered stem.

This was a very generous gift from a friend when I told him I was getting back to pipes.
It was unsmoked and came complete in its original box.
All the more generous as this was one of a large number of pipes left to him by his late father.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with a small slice of chocolate pie for dessert. I'm almost half way through this 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed three ferals, and m'lady and I are watching She's Got Everything starring Ann Sothern with a bunch of funny character actors.

Enjoying some Comoy's cask 7 in a new Brebbia billiard...This coin has 10 years age on it and - Wow! Sooo delicious. I just happened to have some in my cellar - I forgot I had - This has been hard to buy or find of late...

 

[OzPiper]

Continuing the Dunhill theme -

A second bowl of Dunhill London Mixture

In a Dunhill Classic Series straight shell billiard with a tapered stem.
This was the very first Dunhill pipe I bought (estate)

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Mac Baren Virginia #1 in a straight black 1925 Dunhill patent shell Canadian 33 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Time to clean a few pipes while I watch the movie.

Going to have Esoterica Tilbury (2021) in a Ropp Super Luxe S54 Author.



@tfdickson We visited Industrial Arts Brewing in May of 2018—I had Wrench NEIPA, Torque Wrench, and Tools of the Trade, but, not Impact Wrench. How is it?

Gotta love Tilbury.

Impact Wrench is great, one of my usuals. Similar to Torque Wrench, just bigger all around, 10% ABV. Fine on its own, but also goes really well with a wide variety of foods.

Packed a pipe on Tuesday and left it in the car. Finally had a chance to smoke it today (Friday). Busy week again. D&R Two Timer in a Ropp. I think my sinuses are compromised, but this tasted like perfumed butter (in a good way.)

 

[Gojira]

Below freezing in OKC, so I'm sitting in the local cigar bar with my Peterson St. Patrick's and Haunted Bookshelf.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am going to work with a bowl of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Rattray’s Old Gowrie purchased May 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
