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

[OzPiper]

Yeah, I've also got a 1900 S&G bulldog with similar width silver band and likewise like its subtle forward cant. Don't tend to smoke it often, as, like most pipes of that era, bulldog or not, the chamber is smaller than I prefer.

This is a group 4 sized bowl. Right in the zone for me
I have a few with smaller size 1-2 chambers for short smokes or stronger blends

Just finished smoking Wilke No. 78 in a quarter bend smooth dark brown small bowl 2016 Brigham Algonquin 226 Rhodesian with a long black vulcanite tapered stem.

Savinelli 140 in my Peterson Belge.

Cracked a tin of Dunhill Nightcap from 2018, enjoyed in my sandblasted Musicò pot on a nighttime dogwalk.

Finished the evening over a campfire with the neighbours and back to back bowls in my Piersel. Pegasus and Dark Birdseye. Goslings Rum with Root Beer is my drink. (A Chewbacca, according to the interwebs.)

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem. Have a little more work to do.

Yorktown, again, in a cob as the afternoon goes long. Second smoke of this blend and it is really very nice. This 2023 batch at least I can see laying up by the pound.

Yorktown is a fantastic blend. Fingers crossed, I have 8 ounces that should arrive here in Bulgaria in the next couple of weeks.

Finished work for the day, did a load of dishes, spent a bit of time making sure Abner the Eager and the unnamed gray, black striped cat ate in peace. That took some work on my part. Abner has decided our home is his home, and I wonder if his owners care? He jumped on my lap and I gave him some attention which made the latest feral a little jealous. After I got Abner off my lap, I put the other fella on mine and gave it some attention, which was well received. This finally gave me the opportunity to study the newbie, and after thinking it was a female, a better look revealed that it's a boy who was neutered. He doesn't show up until after dark which leads me to think his owners let him out at night. This was how it had been with Abner until he decided he liked us better than his owner. I wish that hadn't happened, but cats decide those things for themselves no matter what we prefer. Daisy the Feral Princess dislikes Abner for some reason. I suspect he did something she didn't like because Daisy is generally the "live and let live" type. Abner follows Tomato the Brave around during the day, and they mostly seem to get along. If that newbie feral sticks around, we'll have to figure out a name for it. M'lady hates every idea I presented to her. She mostly has named the cats we've had since we've lived in this house. The newbie growls at the other ferals, and perhaps that will change at some point.

Anyway, I just finished smoking year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Going to have one more smoke.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. That'll do it for me today.

Good Morning! Just getting settled in for the morning with a large mug of French Press and a bowl Mick McQ Plug in a highly reliable meerschaum 'cutty' pipe. If you have followed the progress of this pipe over the last six months you will see that it has really started to color. I would imagine that another 500 bowls will get it colored down to the foot of the pipe.
