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

[JimInks]

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. An off diet lunch is next. Brought Abner the Eager in the eat.

C&D Dreams of Kadath in a Wiley Old Oak. Watching The Ninth Gate.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Having Match Balkan Sobranie in a Peterson Pipe. With aqua, neat.

 

[SmokeyJock]

About to smoke my 1906 BBB meerschaum for the first time, with some Peterson Connoisseur's Choice and a bottle of Belgium's finest (it'll be my first time smoking a meerschaum pipe at all in fact)

 

[RPaul]

Enjoying some Bayou Morning in my new to me Rossi Vittoria Billiard and some IPA. The experience is a bit different from the cobs that I'm used to, I feel the Rossi tends to gurgle, unlike cobs.

i actually just ordered one of those, and expect to enjoy it. I do think they tend to gurgle a bit if smoked hard and fast, but a good tamping seems to help. Just a novice point of view though.

 

[The Libertine]

Smoking 5 Brothers out of my MM Country Gentleman.

 

[FurCoat]

Got up some leaves while smoking LJP Tashkent

For social hour at work, some aged Escudo (courtesy of member MCJ) in a Falcon. I’ve never tried Escudo before; I’ll definitely have it again!

 

[PaulRVA]

C&D Exclusive In a Ferndown Tomato and Kramer’s Father Dempsey in a Savinelli Autograph Dublin for the patio.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed three ham, cheese and two eggs open face sandwiches, a Jethro Bodine size bowl of Raisin Bran with extra raisins and tasty golden delicious apple on the side. I've just over a third of a bowl left of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Jamaican Estate Reserve, neat, is my drink.

 

[Backwoods Briar]

Edward G in a Wilke Canadian. Some strong coffee.

 

[Ben.R.C]

New Suhr quarter bent brandy, will smoke soon.

 

[TampaPete]

Now that Aunt Helene and Uncle Milton have forced me to slow down a bit, and given me some pleasant weather to boot, figured I better get caught up…

Warped King’s Stride in my Joh’s bent Dublin!



Hope everyone is safe and doing well

@umbrella001 Nice pipe; I think it looks like it would c17 / 18 re-enactment (Redcoats, Cavaliers & Roundheads etc). Some Gawith or Erinmore Flake would suit it nicely!

 

[Carol]

Homemade blend of Sutliff Vas with a pinch of hazelnut in a Peterson Xmas 24 X105. At my buddy’s cabin on the Manistee River for a guy’s weekend.

Love the copper on that pipe! Beautiful background too! Makes me want to go flyfishing.

 

[StayPufft]

2023 c&d carolina red flake with perique in a Dunhill shell briar Canadian.

 

[Roach1]

Hope it smoked well in that pipe. This is a great blend!


MdP makes a great pipe. You have inspired me to pull out mine as well. Enjoy it!

Semois time, before lunch, in a large Mastro de Paja rusticated dublin.
I have to mention here that i think the 2024 version of Semois is not quite as flavorful as the 2022 release. It seems a bit milder, both on the nose and the palate. Still good, but i preferred the former iteration.

The Dockworker was something different for me. I could actually pull out a fews different notes with my untrained palate. The I have must be rather new with very little discoloration on the wrapper. Will order a couple of more tins in the future.

OJK in a Charatan house pipe. It was still on the bench from earlier so I decided to have another go.
