***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

[bluegrassbrian]

Thank you, yes.

Although they mis-stamped it a Perla Nera, they did get the Occhio stamp on eventually.

Can you imagine them staining that pipe black?

Can you imagine them staining that pipe black?

Right?

And I'll bet many sea rocks had some nice grain and 1 unacceptable flaw. You look at enough Castellos and get an idea of what they will and will not pass off as smooth.

Although I don't own any, a little pinprick sandpit or 2 would not be a deal breaker for me.

I was eyeing this Skovgaard last night...

This was last night. I bought this rusticated Pete 69 back in June and just now decided it was time to give it a shot. I finished up a tin of Skiff Mixture in it.
Even decided to live dangerously. I usually clean out the bowl coating on them but this time I fired it up without doing so. It didn't effect the flavor as far as I could tell.
Excellent performer. Nice size. Works for me.
Was outside in the drizzle, enjoying a bit of Laphroig along with it. 'Twas a wonderful evening.

Nice looking pipe. The right side kinda reminds me of the rustication Mike Bay is doing.

^ how did you like the Abingdon?

Oh I love Abingdon and keep it in my stash. There are others in the same vein that I stash more, but I encourage anyone to try it if you like a bit more latakia in your Balkan.

cool pipe, and awesome stem!

Thank you. It's my American standard pipe, LOL. I love the way it smokes since it's a reverse calabash.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2013 Rotary Navy Cut in a post-1938 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 bulldog with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Nigel Bruce smoked this model in two Sherlock Holmes movies. Please consider asking Shane Ireland at Smoking Pipes and Peterson to bring the pipe back into production.


Sam the Scamp showed up this afternoon, ready to eat and play. After he ate, he cried for my attention.


Then, he wanted to smoke my Peterson X155.

Pinpoint size pits never bothered me much.
I've never been big on Castellos (I've had 3), but I appreciate their quality and rep.
Actually, I do have a Collection Occhio in my sights (granted, bigger than my typical).. there's just something about it.

Breaking in this new pipe that my benefactor gifted me. Now smoking year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem.

After losing our beloved Kevin before his first birthday, we felt obligated to let the breeders know what had transpired.
They expressed sympathy and remorse, and offered us another pup. We went back and forth and decided to accept their gracious offer.

Going big to celebrate Veterans Day! Thank you to all who served this great Republic. Dark Star in an Eltang. Manhattan to drink. Still trying to figure DS out. It’s a tricky one to get right but when it’s right it’s awesome.

Another busy day in the yard and completing my project to put a new roof on the hay manger before winter.
Finally had some time to sit down in the amazing sun and enjoy a cup of coffee and some Uhle’s Blend 44 in my Armellini freehand.
Thanks to all the Veterans out there for your service!
