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

[Sidehatch]

Decided to crack open a bag of KBV Flying Dutchmen Flek. Maiden voyage loaded into trusty workhorse Sav 626. KBV can do no wrong for me these days. This blew my hair back. Wanting to get to know Turkish/orientals a little more and this blend is opening the door for sure. Get a little chocolate Cult Blood Red Moon combo thing going.

I'm slowly working my way through a batch of assorted tobaccos I got from L.J. Peretti's. Already found a few that I'm going to be stocking up on--the 150th Anniversary flake, No Name (a Lakeland style they do), and Ampersand flake. Just fantastic. It'll take me all of November to get through everything I got from them; still have some British, Omega, Oriental, Royal, and Century. The Omega is quite lovely if you're into a quality Virginia/Oriental blend.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake in a smooth dark brown quarter bend post-1935 KBB/Kaywoodie New England Briar Pipe Company Flagship 83B Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. An apple follows this smoke. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

 

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Off to work I go on a new Archie story.

 

[Nevaditude]

Last smoke of the day (probably) is a Wilke ~ Peanut Butter in a Peterson POY 2022 4AB Rusticated! be well...

Going to have Davidoff Flake Medallions in a Brulor Sphere (?), made at the Saint-Claude factory in the 1950s. The miniscule chamber fits less than half a medallion. I may relegate this pipe, like my other small Brulor and Saint-Claude pipes, to tasting blending components. It seems a good size to get a sense of taste, but, not large enough to enjoy what I think of as a typical relaxing smoke where I can sit back for an hour or two. I love the shape, flattened shank, and removable bowl. It’s almost a miniature, briar version of a Falcon.

I put on the long johns for some GL Pease Caravan in a Savinelli 310.

Why doesn't the pipe have a stem?

 

[JimInks]

A couple of minutes or so away from smoking Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to Fibber McGee and Molly. We named one of our cats after Molly.

Opening Night in an Alden.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker in a 1990 straight dark brown Commemorative reproduction of the 1890 Peterson Patent System 12393 stack billiard with a silver band and a bowed black acrylic 32 AB long stem p-lip. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

My last three smokes were a little substandard. Packed very light...I guess I need to up my dry times too, which makes sense during the cold months. Though frankly, I don't know how much longer I can dry University Flake. I suppose I should look into an air fryer for Christmas. Seriously!

Going with a blend that hasn't failed me once: Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match in my Savinelli Bacco 321 bent author. No dry time necessary, and I won't go through a pint of lighter fluid trying to keep an ember going.

Bird report: California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, House finch, Northern flicker, White-crowned sparrow, Chipping sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, Oak titmouse, California towhee, and California thrasher.

Looks like you're stayin'. You're finishing your coffee. Yep...enjoyin' your coffee!

That scene was filed at Johnnie's coffee shop, at the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire. Not an active restaurant anymore, but I believe it is still standing, and used as film sets.

Forget about the f*&#ing toe!!

Glad somebody noticed!

About a third of a bowl left of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. I seldom smoke bent pipes when I work, but I was in the mood for one with an easy burning tobacco that I like.

 

[JimInks]

About a third of a bowl left of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Working and listening to Fort Laramie starring Raymond Burr on the XM. One the best written and acted radio Westerns made.

 

[JimInks]

Just passing the half way mark on the last of this bag of 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2002 smooth top, black sandblasted quarter bend military mount Karl Erik Ekstravagant horn with a horn insert in the ferrule and black acrylic stem.

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a tapered black vulcanite stem. That'll do it for me!

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

A bowl of 507 VA Slices this morning from a 1930s Drinkless lovat. Hope everyone has a good week.
