What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Now smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half rusticated Savinelli Autograph 4 with a lucite stem and ferrule. Sorry, but the new Lane Limited remake isn't as good as the original.

Yeah, I'd take that Tawny Flake off your hands. Haven't tried the G&H Louisiana Flake either.


Half way through smoking the last of the open stash of MacBaren Modern Virginia in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band.

Hi Jim,

I sent you some Louisiana Flake and something else but not the Tawny Flake because I'd not be a friend if I did.

More St. James Flake for me today. I was planning on a cigar today, but haven't been willing to commit 1 hour plus at a time so it's been the pipe instead.

Just finished smoking D&R Cockstrong in a medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot with a black acrylic stem.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for thinking of me. That's very cool of you.

I believe the new worst commercial in history has hit the cableways. All records are there to be broken, as they say, and this one simply has established a new nadir of creepiness and bad taste. It's the Quilted Norther toilet paper ad with the bunny in the bathroom. "Smash me." Sick stuff. It has the spookiness of a movie like Chunckie, combined with a disquieting, threatening bathroom humor. I don't think anyone is safe until the perpetrators responsible have been put away safely with their insane kindred spirits.

I'm back on the Royal Yacht, merrily puffing my way through an Artful Detective.

Jim,

I'd seen the commercial, read your post and then saw it again last night. It's absolutely 'uber creepy'. Made me remember NOT to buy their product. Poor taste and judgement.

Very nice Virginia this and I prefer to any of the McClelland tins. Bought from P&C (best price) but it was received a well broken flake. Anyone know a vendor who supplies this in a more intact flake form? Thanks.

Now smoking the best durn tobacco made today: Strang in a 2003 smooth medium bent straight grain Ardor Venere Extra signed by Dorelio Rovera Dublin.

Maiden voyage of this recently purchased pipe that was made early in the career of the great pipe maker, Giancarlo Guidi, before he started Ser Jacopo.
