What Pipe or Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today? [pics]

[tullius]

Sounds like a good start. What ya got to play with?

 

[HighDesertHippie]

Tennessee fire cured, Latakia, stacked basma, some katerini, (this one definitely has the standard Turkish taste. Started rolling it in the menthol tubes they sell over at the FTT store and made a good blend for making cigarettes too.

Out in the barn smoking air dried tobacco with a little bit of latakia, drinking a dark red listening to the album wake of the flood with my birds.

Probably gonna switch pipes once I find my hand carved pony mearchum (did I spell that right?)

You need some flue cured va. With what you got, what you like so far, and where you're at right now: try 40% air dried, 40% katerini, 20 % latakia. Leave the basma and fire cured be until you get some va. Be sure you're close to the ground.

Meerschaum is correct.

Point of interest, they actually call it luletasi in Turkey.

Wife and I took the dogs and snuck off to the hill country for two nights. I was smart this time and packed a travel kit Smoking some Velvet Hammer in my Savinelli overlooking the lake.

From the mines of Eskisehir which is the ancient Greek city called Dorylaion ( in latin is Dorylaeum) build by an ancient Greek tribe called ''Phrygians'' which immigrated from the city of Arcadia of Peloponνisos (in english is Peloponnese Region) but after many years became ''locals'' and fought against their old-time neighbours the Achaians in the civil war of Troy.

this is a sample of their language which a Greek still at 2019 can read it.

It is easy to forget that Anatolia has been "Turkish" for only a mere 1000 years. Before that, Anatolia was Greek for much longer.

Listening to Heavy horses by Jethro tull with my true meerscham pipe carved in turkey. Dark blue american spirit and latakia with a pinch of the katerini

 

[HighDesertHippie]

It's so fragile it makes me nervous. I usually only drag it out every few months or on nights like Christmas eve!

Counterfeit Cob

In these days of deep fakes, it's sometimes hard to tell the real thing from a pretender. Given the high cost of real corn cobs, this handy meerschaum makes a presentable stand-in. Maybe nobody will notice that Bob is not smoking the real thing on Christmas Day.

I carved this a few decades ago--modeled after a "smokable second". The shank eventually broke off. This past weekend, I finally repaired it. The bowl is packed with
Kentucky River:

• Latakia 37.5%
• Burley 18.75%
• Oriental 6.25%
• Bright 12.5%
• VA Red 18.75%
• Dark Air 6.25%

I was smart and sold my tech stocks and invested in corncobs well before the rush on cobs.
