What Are You Smoking Pages.

[Sturdy Papa 359]

Smoking a Pete XL02 with sweet killarney and a quick k-cup, not looking forward to working tonight.

EZ, How much tobacco can you get into that XL02? I just bought the Pete 2s which they say is the deluxe system equivalent.

Good morning gentlemen, and Sturdy Papa. Just kidding. I'm sure you're a gentleman even if you are a self described social leper, lol. Actually I can relate. Fortunately my wife gets me. She just bought me a tee shirt that says, I like horses, dogs, and maybe 3 people, lol. Not totally true as I like all the guys on here which is more than 3. Enough rambling. Starting my day with Sutliff Crumble Kake in a Sav Hercules 606EX. Big mug of coffee of course. No birdies out yet but a couple of bunnies romping about.

Ranger,
I have much more in common with you fellas in the pipe smoking community than the bedhead-pajama wearing humans you run across in public these days. My wife has actually commented on buying me a similar t-shirt like the one you described. I spent 33 1/2 years in a very coarse line of work where I picked up a sarcastic humor that was probably a defense mechanism to deal with stress. You former military guys understand what I’m speaking of. So, what you see is what you get with me. If I like you, I’ll joke you, and treat you like family. If I don’t like you, I just give you a wide berth and stay silent. BoB is old school values and guys who look out for one another. Family.

Today started off with Country Squire Cowboy Coffee in the Castello K31 Trademark. I switched over to my 1970’s Ben Wade Intermezzo with PS Luxury Navy Flake, but was interrupted a 1/3 of the way through the bowl. Dumped the remnants and started back a few hours later with a 50/50 mixture of PS Luxury Navy and Luxury Twist Flake. The smoke was a 9/10. Only thing holding it back from a 10 was still being in a work atmosphere. Everyone have a good night.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm close to finishing this big bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a smooth brown 2002 medium bend eight sided panel top straight grain Rinaldo Collection Silver Line F Egea 05 Titania bulldog with a black acrylic saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe in a while. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Got a lot done tonight, and have a few minutes to unwind before going to work.

Zippo & Jim,
I may have found some information on the Pipemaster. The Dublin is from 1990 and has GT. Britain below the name. The Peterson knockoff has the same font on both the stem and shank as yours Zippo. It’s supposedly from Italy like Jim suggested.

[Zippo]

Zip, Both photos came off eBay at various dates and times. I knew you had the pistol model, but it’s the first time I had seen one on the original card. Thought it would be of interest to you.

It was, thanks Sturdy

Well said Sturdy, I totally get you

Smoking a plug of Petersons Summer Reserve in a Savinelli Roma, very nice to. Watching the Kings visit to the Welsh Senate. Yorkshire Tea and some Dundee fruit cake on the side. Life's good.
Have a great day my friends

Good morning, Sutliff Whimsical in a Vauen bent with newly received 9mm Vauen ceramic charcoal filter installed. It does taste different, and not sure this is the best way to enjoy this blend, but curious about these filters and Vauen's filtered pipe design. Both 8 o'clock coffee with h&h and water with bergs to drink.

I just bought a Falcon pipe. I set my face against them for years (pipes should be made of briar and vulcanite, dammit, not aluminum!), but I was persuaded at last. It's butt ugly, and I could do with a bigger bowl; but it's certainly convenient, and easy to clean. I'm trying it out with some Gawith & Hoggarth Perique Flake No. 27. Impressed so far.

I had the same need for getting a bigger Viking bowl. Found a couple off ebay. I saw quite a few Falcon bowls on 4noggins.

1990 Butz-Choquin mini churchwarden. I bought it shortly after I discharged from the Navy. My first pipe!! Yes, from a brick in mortar shop in Modesto CA. that no longer exists. The owner had that vibe like the character in movies like “Never Ending Story” who always have that “special book” in the back that’s “probably of no interest to young boy’s such as yourself”. Well here it is tonight and I am smoking Carter Hall in it while I patiently wait for my SP Gawith & Hogarth package to roll in.

Nice pipe! That looks like a cycling hat, so do you ride?

Sturdy, I found another Tshirt I want. Might be good for you too. Says, Horses and Dogs make happy. Humans make my head hurt, lol. I would say most of our group are on your side.

First off this morning a shout out to the anonymous BoB who gifted me a tin of tobacco and a MM cob pipe. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Do wish you would identify yourself so I can reciprocate. Had a really busy day yesterday. A HwH mini horse event at an elder care home in PV. The old folks just love petting the horses. Then off to ride Granite Mountain with my riding buddy. Got home late afternoon and there's a package from SC. I'm thinking WTH I didn't order anything from Smoking Pipes. Some kind BoB gifted me a tin of H&H Burley Flake and a MM cob. Very much appreciated. I'm sure I will enjoy both, being a burleyphile. So, end of diatribe. This morning it's Hobbits Weed in the Don Carlos bent brandy with a big mug of strong black coffee. Again, thank you BoB for the gift.

Smoking a Design Berlin straight billiard with W O Larsen 1864 and a mug of 8 o`clock coffee.

 

[Shepards Pipe]

Nice pipe! That looks like a cycling hat, so do you ride?

It’s a welding cap for wearing under the welding hood. The bill is meant to twist to the side to cover the ear when overhead welding. Commonly worn by metal tradesmen such as Steamfitters, Boilermakers, Millwrights, and Ironworkers.

Half way through his bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of first release 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. Magnum Roastery Jamaican Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink.
