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

[Tate]

I gave away the aromatic English I was told to get when I started. It almost made me quit! lol. I actually like some aros, just not often. I got a friend started with a pipe on vapers and burleys and he’s had a much less difficult beginning then I did. he’s getting into English's a little now with little issues,

I think that's the way to go! I didn't really like the aromatic so I went and bought EMP the next day and have been an English fan ever since lol Everything thing else I have tried I have liked. If a friend wants to get into pipes I'd definitely start em on a vaper too.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple and am smoking 2021 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 William Conrad in Gunsmoke from my radio collection.

That just sounds so wrong and right at the same time. What is it?

It does indeed. I got it from a friend in Europe. A very sweet Virginia blends. Very sweet as the name implies. Quite good actually.

Since a few days I've entered the third "phase" of my pipe rotation, the Falcon phase. The first is the Corn Cobs phase, the second is the Wooden (briar, olivewood, pearwood, hardwood) phase and the third is the Falcon. In between there's a clay and a meerschaum somewhere. This very disciplined approach (smoking my pipes in turn, one after the other) to one -and only- aspect of my otherwise not so organized way of life, gives a strange kind of twisted satisfaction.
In the pipe, Her Majesty Queen Latakia: SG Balkan Flake.

A good Friday for all of you good people!

Some KBV Uzumaki in the dog meer, been smoking it a lot lately.. hoping to get some colour going! although might be hard to see or get any serious colouring since they used darker wax.
the blend is good but maybe a bit sweet for me personally this morning, will have to revisit it later.

Happy friday everyone and nice smokes!
