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

[JimRoseLV]

Bumping up to some C&D The Beast.

Is this that no-name sandblast again?

Indeed it is. And a helluva smoker. Love this little thing

Just had some Elizabethan Mixture. Had a very different experience.

I think I learned what slow and sip actually mean. I thought I was smoking slow because I was smoking slower than cigarettes. This isn't the case. I was hanging out back after finishing up everything. I was just relaxing/ zoning and I kept the pipe barely smoldering. This pretty much happened by mistake but then I realized what was happening and got so much more flavor out of it. The earthy/grassy nuances as well as some sweet and spice. Incredible! I thought my tobaccos were good absolutely freight training them. Lol. Looking forward to revisiting everything with this new technique.

Peterson EMP in a Wiley Patina

More FMC in the reliable Pete 221, I think Boswells Northwoods is close but FMC has more of a silky fruit note in my opinion

Ending the evening with G&H chocolate flake in a Savinelli

Good on you, well done!

Finished up last night's 2015 Laurel Heights in the kk antiquari.

Put this 2002 DM through the paces today with Abingdon, then Pegasus, then Five Brothers.

Not sure why... will probably clean and rest for a few days now. Great colors in my neighborhood. Hope you are all well.

C&D Sun Bear Mountain Honey in a Winslow Crown freehand this evening.

 

[Laurent]

Mac Baren navy flake in my 70’s Savinelli Estella

 

[Pip'n'Piper]

Capstan Blue in a Capri Billiard. Not the greatest smoker, but it‘s lightweight and handles virginias well enough.

 

[Clouser]

Nightcap in a nice little Castello

Doug Finlay @doug535 Poker and Blue Note! There was an angel in our living room this morning! View attachment 255289View attachment 255290

That poker is growing on me and it's all about the accent ring.

 

[Ben.R.C]

Vertical Limit in a Heeschen.

Second bowl of SG St. James Flake in this lovely Rattray's Dark Ale poker.

I have the bent apple kin to this pipe, it's out for repair but I will show it off when it is returned. Yet another pipe changing my opinion of pokers.

 

[HRPufnstuf]

Hyde Park in my SMS figure meer, Sunday picnic.

 

[HRPufnstuf]

I remember when I had hair, I'm jealous.

I still have plenty of hair, but nobody wants to see it.

 

[tfdickson]

St Bernard Flake in my Old Church billiard.

 

[cshubhra]

Capstan Blue Ready Rubbed from November 2019 in a Balandis sandblasted billiard

CVP in a Howell.
