What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Just finished smoking MacBaren Virginia #1 in a late '90s half smooth/half etched freehand sitter, medium bend Nielsen Viggo.

Dunbar in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem.

1970s Edgeworth Aromatic (Red) in a light brown 1979 rusticated medium bend Italian Sir Jeffrey Dublin sitter with a flared top and yellow stem.

Just finished smoking Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem. Simply Apple is my drink.

Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Part way through this bowl of Savinelli 140˚ in a 1978 smooth three quarter bend Danish Special with a black vulcanite stem.

Interesting experiment, but I'm surprised it was smokeable at all. Coffee beans have some oil in them, and burning oil is nasty.

Heine's Blend in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem.

MacBaren Cube Gold in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls.

Part way through this bowl of 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Rego 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule.
