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

[samuelgawith01]

HU Asmara in this Pre transition Barling "Ye Olde Wood".I don’t remember the year.

How are you liking the horn stem?

It’s fine. It seems softer than vulcanite which I like. The button is very tall and narrow which I don’t love but it’s tolerable.
Thanks for asking.

1st smoke of November was Earl of Wilmington a house aro blend that’s perfect for a morning smoke in my JM Boswell stubby rusticated nosewarmer

WOW November!

Cracked open, and trying for the first time...

Germain’s Royal Jersey Perique Mixture in a Radice Clear Bent Dublin with Baldo Baldi briar aged over 20 years.

Still breaking the pipe in, and a long way to go, and the way I smoke, so bloody slow, and rotating, it will be a year, maybe two before around a 1mm carbon layer.

But, the pipe is absolutely an amazing smoker, so I might rotate it faster, right now I rest it 4-5 days.

Be well everyone!

Now that's a pipe!

Pipes that size and bigger are good for folks with bad hands. My arthritis thanks carvers that go the extra mile to make them.

Now that's a pipe!

They make for a good fireside pipe.
Also great during surf fishing when its cold and you want your hands in your pockets and refills lasting longer.

@Dave760 Nice pipe and good tobacco choice. Not smoked Five Brothers before but @Tate says it's a strong baccy. I was smoking GH Brown Pigtail twist in my clay at the Redcoats & Revolutionaries event at Cromford Mill.

2021 Cringle Flake in my Castello bent bulldog.

Riding night. Walking Welly around the stables in the dark with a little cob filled with Watch City Glass Slipper. Beautiful cold night. I’d better get used to it because it’s not going to get much better for a while. Winter is Coming.

I would have never thought of that! I just thought about a long smoke session.

@Chasing Embers Do you think I should get a giant clay pipe? A King Size clay for the Clay King
I'd like to find out how much they hold and how long they'd take to smoke. I'd probably be puffing it all day!

 

[jbfrady]

I've got a locally blown glass water pipe and I'm smoking a bowl of ca... wait... wrong thread...

 

[Chasing Embers]

Do you think I should get a giant clay pipe?

But of course you should!

 

[The Clay King]

But of course you should!

@Chasing Embers I saw one in a local museum years ago; I'd like to find out how much they hold & how long they take to smoke. I'd need to weigh the pipe before & after filling like I do containers at the 'zero waste' retailers that sell refills by weight. There are local tobacconists in Chesterfield & Buxton that sell loose pipe baccy by weight.
