What are you smoking right now?

Right now: Aldo Velani Volcano Pipe with Dunhill Danish Mixture.
Saturday morning, I got up at 7 am and watched the sun rise over Tampa Bay with a cafe latte and mixed fruit for breakfast. Then after answering some emails and doing a few chores I filled my Aldo Velani Volcano Pipe with Dunhill Danish Mixture while watching the sailboats head out from the docks and reading Pipe Dreams by Rick Newcombe.

Ok, Pipe # 2 for the day is a Calabresi bent with H. Sutliff Mixture No. 79 - Aromatic Mixture

Sunday: Alternating Froggie on the Bayou in my Pete Sherlock (Lestrade) and Penzance in my GBD 5th Avenue. BTW, Mixture No. 79 is the only tobacco choice that survives from my younger days. I still like it. Kevin, this is the largest format two-person forum in the internet. But hang in there. If you build it they will come.

How did you like the Mixture 79 Kevin?

How did you like the Mixture 79 Kevin?
It's pretty good. It's very mild and mellow. Not a strong taste and a very smooth aroma. It's a good morning smoke.

Last night I smoked the Dunhill Danish Mixture in a Peterson pipe.
This morning I am going to smoke the Peterson Luxury Blend in a Dunhill pipe.

Yo Buzkirk! Thanks for coming over!

I'm having dinner in a few minutes. After that, a cup of java and Penzance in a Savinelli smooth Colonial. Man, I'm one of those Penzance devotees. It seems to appeal to new pipe smokers or those who like me have returned to pipe smoking after a long hiatus. By the way, Kevin, I've never tried any Peterson blends. If you like that one it must be pretty good.

Just finished a bowl of Dan, Milonga in a Ben Wade #100 danish hand pipe.

I never heard of Milonga. Funny that they gave it that name, which is an old-fashioned Argentinian song style as distinctive in that country as the tango. I believe that they also have a pastry-style dessert named milonga. Probably the tobacco was named after the pastry. Chicken or egg type of thing.

I just smoked Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Dunhill Shell Briar (2001). Damn was that good!

Yes, the Peterson Luxury Blend is very nice. It is a sweet aromatic that doesn't burn hot. I reviewed it here:
