***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

[B_Rock]

Now smoking C&D Super Balkan in a Peterson Aran 106. Another nerve wracking Giants Dodgers game on the radio.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Going to work, and listen to the Giants-Dodgers game that I DVR'd.

Sutliff Balkan Sobranie 759 Match in my Savinelli St Nicholas 2020 320KS.

It's Father's Day down under, so a Very Happy Father's Day to all you Aussie Fathers on the Forums. I hope you were all spoiled by your families today.

Had a nice lunch of grilled lamb chops and salad out of the garden with a mug of chai tea.

For my 1st bowl, Germain's Rich Dark Flake (speckled with plume) in a 1899 Kippax Bros. Amber saddle stem Bulldog, which I was very lucky to purchase from Ken Barnes last year. In Memorium. RIP.

A glass of 43yo Grande Champagne Cognac from Segonzac. Matured in the cellars of the grower/distiller for 43 years prior to bottling by Hermitage Cognac/Brandy Classics of UK.

How was the hunting?

Not very many birds flying today, but we got a few.

Plum Pudding Special Reserve in a 1957 Dunhill W60 Tanshell. Good example of the great blasts that Dunhill produced in the 50s with Algerian briar. The original shank was longer, typically with a second knuckle, but I like the size of this pipe with the shorter repaired shank.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of 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.

 

[OzPiper]

Finishing the wonderful 43yo cognac with a 2nd bowl.

Esoterica Stonehaven , made by Germain, of course. And a "fraternal twin" to their Rich Dark Flake.

In a tiny Belge (group 2 bowl) also purchased from Ken Barnes last year. There are no stamping or marks on this pipe, by Ken was certain it was made by Frederick Charatan.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Accent in an undated straight smooth brown The Lumberman Special (Comoy’s) with a tapered black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[jewman22]

Just finished some GLP Union Square in my Mr.Brog The Hobbit.

 

[madhatt]

Just finished a bowl of El Rincon de la Pipa - No. 1.

 

[GothPiper]

My Mixture 965 in a MM cob. First time smoking this, and it's fantastic - like a wine with well-balanced tannins; a pinot noir or a tempranillo.

I didn't think I was an English kind of guy, but this one totally changed my mind.

Good morning folks !!! Last night I had to put down the pipe as soon as I lit it, my daughter asked me to tell her a story for asleep ... I fell asleep too ... :sleep: :sleep: ??





So now the same, Janneman Flake in a Larryson and black Jamaican coffee

 

[whitebar]

Just finished a bowl of D&R Three Sails in a IMP meer. Next up is the same tobacco in a Baki.

 

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem.

 

[MrTom]

Good Morning Folks, Early Morning Pipe in a LCS Bulldog.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter and Chocolate in a light brown 1979 rusticated medium bend Italian Sir Jeffrey Dublin (GBD second) sitter with a flared top and yellow saddle stem. This, hopefully, will finish my smoking day. It all depends on how much Suzy and Molly, and the feral cats want from me. At least I got work done at the top of this hour as I hoped.

At a local cafe smoking WCC Glass Slipper in a Sasieni Royal Stuart.
