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

[HawkeyeLinus]

This looks absolutely fantastic. I had thought these pipes were obnoxiously red...

They are more of a rich red than ruby!

Are those as potent as I've heard some folks say ?

Half way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

I am only a few minutes in. Cannot say yet but does not feel like it so far.

I got a couple of these during my trip to Canada earlier. The first one was plugged and unsmokable, so this one is my first.

 

[PaulRVA]

Do you have an Il Duca of any shape already?

Not yet. I admire yours. Thats probably the catalyst for wanting one. There was a black Rhodesian about six months ago on SPC that I slept on and missed it. I’ve been aggravated ever since. Much like you I enjoy stacks and Canadians.
How are you liking your new Ashton Canadian? Its a looker as well !

Thats a constant issue for the 30 plus years of smoking Cuban’s under my belt.
Inconsistency and bad draws or poor binding. Montecristo’s especially. Ive had a few others do me wrong as well but you can be sure at-least 20% are duds.

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving All! Turkey in the oven, stuffing and gravy stock all ready. Feeling prepared for the onslaught of 12 family about to descend. Giving thanks to the tobacco Gods with my Blatter and Blatter bent billiard stuffed with one of my favs…Captain Earl’s Private Stock. Beezer is the drink.

Fantastic cigar on a full stomach. It’s the only cigar that kicked my ass. Do you find them as strong as I do?

Very cool, I never considered looking for a pipe from my birth year. Thanks for the idea!

For sure!
I found this used estate at Blue Room Briars, squeaky clean/ restored and $100 or maybe a bit less. DMs and pipe of the years pop up pretty often.

Speaking for a friend, lol, for an obvious reason searching for a 1959 unsmoked Dunhill at a reasonable price is a fool’s errand - glad “he” gave up the search.

I just had one and gave it to my brother for a gift. I have a 1978 and a 1967 unsmoked if anyone is looking for those. Both group 3 sized straight Dublin's. Ill bookmark this incase I snatch another 1959 down the road.
