***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

[PipeIT]

Sorta!
Got divorced, had to sell the house. Had nowhere to take my two big dogs, so I spent all summer camping while I waited for my brand new 2025 manufactured home (trailer, mobile home, etc) on Friday! My first real man cave!

Sorry to hear, stay strong, take care, be well!

Nice!

thanks bud. i'm no expert on tobacco, pipes or pipe smoking but that bowl was an effortless smoke. went a bit out of my wheelhouse on this one and glad I did. the raw wood had a smell I could only describe as a bourbon fruit cake. it didn't impart that into the smoke though. 2 for 2 on my recent Italian pipes, the other being a much much smaller il Ceppo.

Watch City Simply Red 7 grams
C&D Dark Burley 6 grams

C&D Bright Virginia 2 grams
I’m liking this mixture so far but I think I’m going add Virginia flake instead of bright ribbon and up the flake reducing dark burley. Pretty much just OJK but my material is all aged. Drinking decaf green tea.

Now smoking year 2012 Dunhill Royal Yacht in a 1970s smooth brown slight bend GBD International 9665 dublin rough top sitter with a flat bottom and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Cleaned a few pipes, fed Daisy the Feral Princess, Harry the Hairy and Sleepy Suzy. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Phillies-Mets game with Sleepy Suzy by my side.

The Russian Caravan tea arrived, and I decided to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with some C&D Day Light blend. Using the Sav Capri Root Briar,#515.
When I open this tea up originally, it reminded me a little of a smoky version of Pu’erh tea?
This particular blend uses Keemun, the least smoky of the other two types of smoky tea used in Russian Caravan -Keemun Congou and Lapsang Souchong Black.
I really like this tea. Drinking it with a little sugar. Wonderful, rich black tea with subtle smoky, earthy notes. Might have to order a small sample of the two other types to experimental with more smoky profile?
Thanks @VDL_Piper!

Fresh batch Sutliff 507-C finally delivered today. I immediately put 6 flakes in my drying cigar box and loaded 2/3rds of a flake in my Barontini 1/2 spigot (20mmx52mm chamber) with 9mm Blitz filter (new to me). Wow ! I missed the 507-C and smoked the entire pipe all late afternoon! Delicious all the way down.
I suspect I won't get a second bowl out of the filter though.
