What Are You Smoking Pages.

[JimInks]

Relaxing after a wonderful wild caught catfish and Mediterranean rice dinner with a freshly made bowl of chocolate pudding for dessert. I'm almost finished smoking Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[Balisong]

Today is my wife's first day of vacation and we got alot done! Now it's time to relax with a nice cold glass of wine and an MM Apple Diplomat filled with GLP Westminster.

Now smoking year 2022 unreleased Sutliff Brown Virginia Flake in a 1920s medium bend smooth dark brown BBB Umbra bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem with an orific bit.

Taking a page from @Balisong, I've loaded a Peterson Limerick with Bob's Flake for a trip to the grocery store. But before I do that, I have to show you all one more pipe. Now, this is dramatic. Like Dylan going electric or something. I've had this pipe since 2009, and this is the way it beeswaxed.

After

The wax looks like this

So it must be coloring from smoking the pipe so long and not waxing it. Can you imagine what that will do to MB Virginia no 1?

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty peach, and am off to the studio with a bowl of year 2016 WarHorse Ready Cut in an undated straight sandblasted black Ropp Crystal billiard with a clear acrylic perspex saddle stem.

 

[RudyN]

Had a bowl of Boswell Military Force in a 2021 Peterson Halloween Pipe. (302).

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Wilke Surbrug’s Crystal Palace in a dark brown smooth straight post-WW2 LHS Certified Purex 79 bulldog with a nickel ferrule and tenon with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

GH Whisky Twist in a Savinelli Miele.

 

[JimInks]

Just finishing this bowl of C&D Virginia Gentleman in a straight smooth dark brown pre-1940s Comoy’s Jost’s Olde English Supreme J299 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just filled in the black areas on this five page Sabrina story. All that's left is to touch up the pages, which I'll finish doing tomorrow.

 

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a tapered black p-lip stem.

 

[JimInks]

Less than a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 Double Shot in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This is No. 515 with twice the rum of the Basil Rathbone blend. I finished all the touch ups, and the story is done. Fed Tomato the Brave amd Abner he Eager. Daisy the Feral Princess won't eat until the other do so she'll be left alone.

 

[JimInks]

Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of 2019 Prince Albert in a straight smooth walnut 1927 KBB Kaywoodie Drinkless 86 dublin with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This model was only made in 1927. This'll do it for me today.

 

[Zippo]

That's great. Does she wear cowgirl boots when she's doing the boot scooting boogie, lol?

Absolutely she does, even wears a Stetson, the men get all dressed up too. Big Buckled belts, stetsons, and bolo ties I can't take part, but it's great to watch, and I love the music.

 

[Zippo]

EXORCISE? What demons is she trying to get rid? Lol. Tell her the Electric Slide is good for chasing the devil away, lol.

I'm going to blame predictive txt

 

[Zippo]

I sent Zippo one care package with some new socks during their postal strike. Never made it. I figure some SOB somewhere in England is wearing Zippos socks right now lol.

No I did eventually get them, sorry Buddy I thought I told you. Very nice socks they were too

The perique is an important supporting player. I told the blender not to change it.

Btw, since you are a perique fan, you will be interested to know that Wilke is going to do a more heavy duty version of Lizzie Blood Virginia. It'll have a LOT more perique. I'll be getting a sample to try out next week with any luck.

And on July 4th, Sutliff's Crumble Cake Phantom Privateer No 6 goes on sale. It's rum barrel aged, but has a noticeable perique content.

Thanks Jim, I keep a list of tobaccos to order, so will add those two.

 

[Swede]

Easy enough if you have the recipe. 60% SWR, 25% Black Cav, 15% ODF. Don't need to be that particular either. I don't weigh anything, just eyeball it.

I can get some cavendish locally, but will order the Old Dark Fired. Maybe I'll try some local dark fired on a trial run first .

 

[EZONSLOW]

Good morning,
Smoking a Pete Christmas professor with MB vanilla cream and a freshly perked mug of Yukon coffee.

 

[Balisong]

Good Morning!
I've had an easy morning, my wife made the coffee and did most of the outdoor chores! Last night I jarred some GLP Kensington and filled a Pride for a before bed taste knowing in was too moist but would DGT well for the morning. I have some out drying now, or in this humidity mabe going from wet to damp!

 

[Balisong]

Like Dylan going electric or something. I've had this pipe since 2009, and this is the way it beeswaxed.

Nice metaphor especially followed by the photo with what appears to be a photo Miles in the background! That wax looks too white to be pure beeswax but it yields remarkable results. I wonder if the tobacco juice clogs the pores close to the chamber and the hot wax dissolves and wicks the colors to the surface of the pipe.
