What Is In Your Pipe? - December 2019.

Exotic Passion / Sutliff Virginia Slices in a ??? Prince.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, lemon salmon and asparagus dinner with chocolate ice cream for dessert. Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures King’s Ransom: Rich Dark English in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a black acrylic tapered stem.

Now smoking Watch City VaBur Test Sample in a 2019 straight smooth brown Merchant Service “Bing” with a nickel band and black vulcanite tapered stem.

Before, Five Brothers in the little pot. Now, Picayune, same pipe.

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2014 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Watching a documentary on MI-6.

KBV Burley Morning Pipe, little pot.

Now smoking the venerated Art’s Virginia in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth rhodesian meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Phone chatting with Art, who's not so venerated, but he made a great blend!

Evening, gents. Smoking GH Brown Bogie in a Savinelli Oceano Smooth 320 KS with water on the side. Watching The Gift Horse (1952) starring Trevor Howard. Pipes sighted.

Now smoking Hal O the Wynd in an RD Pipes blasted brandy. Sipping some English breakfast tea and reading “Stalin’s Ghost” by Martin Cruz Smith.

J.M Boswell Sweet Tea.

Amphora Burley in a sandblasted Peterson bulldog with a vulcanite p-lip stem.

5100/Marlin mix in my first Briar... a Grabow Freehand. This pipe has been through some things but smokes better and better over time

Amphora Burley in a T. Cristiano Canadian.

You stoved the ERR Match? How is it?


About a quarter of a bowl left of 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.

Part way through this bowl of Sutliff Prince Albert Match in a 1980s straight smooth Big Ben pot with a nickel band and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Chatting with Mark Ryan.

About a quarter of a bowl left of Ken Byron Ventures The English Fragrant in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg with a black acrylic tapered stem. Then it's lunch time. It's almost time for Mad Dog Russo. A cup of Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

I like it better than unstoved. It brought out the natural sugars, and has a much deeper, nutty flavor. Very smooth, too. It DOES need a little while to sit around, though.

I didn't like ERR match to begin with. After it sat in a jar, and was periodically opened, it was much better after 6 months. I havent stoved any because I havent bought anymore... but now I might.

I just bought some more - only 4 noggins has it in bulk right now. I also bought some Sutliff RL-PR BLend (Cube) from COJ, to see what mixing them comes out with.

Yeah that stuff gets better stoving and giving it some time.

And I don't normally post what I'm smoking but in keeping this post on track with the thread...

1x bowl Frog Morton's Cellar
1x bowl Sutliff Holiday Mixture

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking Ken Byron Ventures King’s Ransom: Rich Dark English in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a black acrylic tapered stem. Watching The Wild Wild West.

Sitting at the park again, gathering thoughts. Having the last of my opened Solani ABF in the Grabow from this morning.

GLP Telegraph Hill (‘05) in a Savinelli Oscar prince with a replacement acrylic stem.

Now smoking year 1999 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a 2019 black rusticated Peterson 312 full bend billiard with a military mount and a nickel band with a cumberland 4AB stem and a N.A.P. bit.
