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

More 5 bros in a London made Orlik Reject. I’m in two minds about this blend. I love the shag cut and its honesty, but after mucking around with whole leaf and home grown, I find it just a bit underwhelming. I know its not supposed to be a blow your socks off flavour bomb, but it doesn’t put a smile on my dial as I would have expected.

Drucquer Levant in a Peterson Aran XL02

GH Whisky Twist in a clay. First time with this tobacco. It tastes great and packs a PUNCH! I figured out I need to let it dry more next time. Jamaican rum and coke to round out my back yard reading session. Happy Sunday!

Lazy afternoon reading and trying out WIlke Rum and Maple in a Nachwalter Straight Grain Billiard with white pearlescent stem and WIlke Rumcake in the morning's Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro 824; had enough GL Pease Stonehenge Flake rubbed out for a MM Cob bowl for a reference point. Very, very nice both (my lousy palate loves rum-soaked blends).

Kendall flake out of this vintage meerschaum with a bakelite stem (supposedley) for its first smoke

 

[FurCoat]

Rattarys Exotic Passion in a pot o gold cob which is dedicated to this blend. I don't think GH can ghost a pipe to the extent of EP.

Going to get another clay bowl of Condor down my throat before going to bed!

Just letting this dry a touch for my after morning tea smoke. 2011 GH Sweet Rum Twist in a Canadian XL by Sasieni. Definitely feels like I’m over compensating for something with the length of this shank ?

Now smoking year 2013 Escudo in a smooth dark brown quarter bend post-1935 KBB/Kaywoodie New England Briar Pipe Company Flagship 83B Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Scherzer is pitching a perfect game for the Dodgers after seven innings.

Exotique in this Ceppo poker I snagged off of Dave Neeb's site last week. Love these older ring grain Ceppos. Bottom photo is of my other three, all bought as estates.

Wessex BCDF in a Castello Old Antiquari 65

Ennerdale in a meerschaum no name 'cutty' circa 1900. This stuff should called Innertube as I am just not getting a lot of Rose Geranium out of this stuff. Anyone else notice that?

PS LBF in a GBD Virgin Pot with El Dorado aged 12 years Rum while watching CPL T20 Caribbean league Cricket.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.
