***What Are You Smoking, October 2021?***

[Meerly John]

Now ending the night, for real this time, with Rattray's Marlin Flake in a Grabow Lark.

 

[B_Rock]

An evening smoke of C&D Small Batch Carolina Red Flake in a Peterson Pre-Republic System Standard 312.

 

[lukasstrifeson]

Home blending again: a base of 50% SG Cabbie's Mixture with 25% McC Holiday Spirit and 25% Penzance

Sampling the first bowl in this Nate King meerschaum Prince, but also have a cob loaded to compare!

 

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, French cut pork chops, sugar snap peas and pinto beans dinner with a few bites of strawberries, chocolate cake and French vanilla ice cream for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Cleaning a few pipes before I start work on another Archie Christmas story.

First pipe of the day on a tasting plan (tasting some tobaccos I've had and not had in small amounts in small brier or cobs), Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a small MM cob. Espresso/Mocha is my drink.

Mac Baren HH Balkan Blend in a Savinelli 111KS Roma.

Congrats @dino ! They say the first 51 years are the hardest...

 

[shikano53]

Gawith Hogarth Black Irish X in a homemade Brandy Churchwarden
I love this tobacco!

 

[cwpiperman]

Next tasting bowl is Epiphany, in a small MM Cobb, with the same mocha on the side. Weather remains the same, and I enjoyed the previous Luxury Navy Flake.

 

[cwpiperman]

Next small MM tasting cob is filled with Haddo's Delight.....so different, and very delicious. Haven't got a new forecast or drink, but I AM aware that I mispelled briar in my last post. .

This is rather a fun exercise.

 

[JimInks]

About a third of a bowl left of D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

 

[cwpiperman]

Next pipe is a Bones tiny pot, filled with HH Rustica. Continuing to drink my mocha as I note the dry, slightly spicy strength of this blend of Nicotinia.

The weather, it isn't a changin' yet, and so I won't add another METAR.

 

[Sanzini]

Late night, Quiet Nights in a Savinelli La Pipa. Buona notte!

 

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke No. 24 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello-Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.

 

[spicy_boiii]

Warped: Scarecrow, in a Cob.

 

[Gus]

Good day folks!! Starting my day with MacBaren Golden Blend in a cob and black coffee

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking Wilke No. 72 in an undated straight, smooth light brown unbranded short shank Bing-ish lumberman with a long, tapered black vulcanite stem. Taking a short work break to feed Suzy and Molly.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Watch City Simply VOriental in a straight smooth medium brown 1930s Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Listening to Richard Diamond, Private Detective.

Oh man, I thought I was going to kick the Cob habit and be Cob free. Then I see @shanez lounging by the pool sipping on his MM Cob, and I was inspired... LOL

So here I am with my MM Smooth Diplomat with a Forever Stem smoking Solani Festival!

This is a nice Aromatic for those considering trying an Aro Blend and they’re not sure what to pick! ?



Be well and safe everyone! ?

@Frasermac GH Cherry Vanilla is my favourite pipe baccy; I was smoking it in my RAOB clay pipe (since sold) when I went to see Lace Wars at Cromford Mill in 2019.

Oh I see Jacobite mentioned, at Lacewars, loved watching Outlander!




Bargain Booze in Chesterfield, I thought the word Booze was more an Americanism LOL... I thought the English might say Bargain Spirits LOL... Hey Erinmore and Dunhill EMP and Dunhill Royal Yacht, were the first three blends I tried when I started out.
