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

[Briar Beagle]

Halfway through a bowl of Bayou Morning. Combined with some time in the Word, it’s a good way to start your day. This was one of my top blends when I began to smoke a pipe. I left it alone for the better part of a year in favor of Latakia heavy blends (such as Palmetto Balkan… yum!) but as the fall season has set in I’ve been returning to Vapers and straight virginias. Smoking it in my favorite type of cob, the bent country gentleman.

Picture sort of sucks because it was still early, but this is Savinelli Janus (quite nice BTW) in a new-to-me pipe by Phil Rivara out of California. Quite a nice little smoker, I appreciate it a lot.

Couple of smokes from my time on the river these past few days. Hope everyone here is well.
Beast in the Peterson short 264

Pegasus in the Nording Woodcock. I saw a few Woodcocks flying around at dusk.

Ashton "half Corona" is a decent $3 stick. I tend to not smoke pipes when actually in the water.

Good day all! A post from yesterday: KBV Brown Flek in a wee Tilshead smooth Dublin with canted rim and flattened shank with matching tapered stem size 3-4. Today, starting with fresh Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in a wee Upshall sandblast Bulldog with smooth rim and hex shank with matching saddle stem size 3-4.

This morning I’m back to Loch Ness in an ebony Lestrade. Peterson calls their ebony pipes “dress” pipes. I guess that makes my pajamas fancy.

Some Five Brother Shake to finish the pouch this morning. Then it's been C&D Exclusive in the Carved Marxman.

@Backwoods Briar I love the hand forged pipe tool; Jason the blacksmith was showing me how they're made, by twisting the red hot metal and then quenching it. He's given me a hand forged hook & I've got a hand forged medieval cutlery set I use regularly! Using replica medieval tools, cutlery etc & smoking a clay pipe lit from a blacksmith's forge is all part of living history! I think the leather tobacco tray would suit the Clay King as well!
Got my leather tobacco pouch (a gift from @Birddog66 ) filled up in Buxton yesterday; I got some loose Bob's Flake & Coniston Cut Plug to smoke in my clay pipes. Another plastic free day!

I agree @halfdan, I love the feel of forged tools. The history and longevity of them are awesome.

1792. Indulging myself in it a little more frequently lately since I came upon five tins a week or so ago...at a store, at retail, so I didn't even have to resort to paying $50 a tin to one of my pipe smoking "brothers".

I got a sample of Sutliff stoved VA, to see how I like it in isolation. Good stuff! In a W
