Just another couple of bowls of BBF and another container gone. :thumb: My program of clearing out the chaff goes on apace.

There is a new plague in TV commercials, probably the product of music education being virtually eliminated in high schools nationwide. (Who needs music when you have ridiculously expensive sports programs to entertain the parents, eh?) Few people now know anything about playing a musical instrument, a situation that extends into popular music, and it is reflected in TV commercials I think. Ad after ad has these plinky little repeated phrases as background to the 5 minutes of warning about a drug guaranteed to smooth your skin while it eats out your liver, or some mindless computer generated rhythm section, available on that Sony electric keyboard at your local online dealer for $79.50, free shipping. What I find revealing about these "musical" fillers is that they are precisely the same sorts of noise generated by beginners as they practice their exercises, or the sort of cacophony emanating from the basement when your teenage son invites his friends over to jam. It is the sound that George Bernard Shaw was thinking of when he said, "Hell is full of amateur musicians." Few have experience with the boredom of such exercises, so that listening to beginner noises as music doesn't trigger suicidal urges as it does with me. The biggest danger of many drugs, even in light of the extensive list of terrifying side effects, is mass psychological trauma of musicians exposed to their commercials.

Nothing but a walk today, despite the sun. Cold.

Ah, there it is. I've missed your rants in the 'what did you smoke today' threads. Music... manners... grammar and prose... it's been a while since I've heard a good rant. I detest all commercials so I'm quick on the mute button in the rare event I find myself in front of the idiot box. I especially hate radio commercials with their idiotic little skits featuring one prole gloriously reciting the majestic qualities of some (lackluster, Chinese-made) product to another sycophantic sap. It makes me ill, so I don't listen to media all that much. I consider myself fortunate that I am not familiar with the plinky tunes to which you refer.

Drying out a small pile of Glengarry Flake cubes. Might get to it today, might not.

As I smoke my first bowl of the day, the 4Dot and RY, I am presented with a new Humira commercial. Okay, what's with the pronunciation? Presented with the word "humira" and asked for possible pronunciations, I would start with the obvious -eye-ruh, -ee-ruh, and -ear-uh, and the three first syllables as hoom-, humm-, or hyume-. Since I can't come up with any use in English, German, Italian, Spanish, or Greek where the letter "i" is pronounced like the "e" in "err", I would have gotten it wrong. I've heard a few of these Humira commercials, mainly when I can't get to the remote in time, but they consistently pronounce it "Hyume-erra". All I can figure is that all of the announcers used in the commercial are from Syracuse, a small city in Central New York where they pronounce the city's name Sarah-cuse.

Another bowl of Aged Burley Flake in a cob this time.

I feel like the Durbar wants to be good. Gotta try it in another pipe. It didn't sing in my Custombilt at all. Very muted flavor. I also smoked it rather wet straight from the tin too though, so I think it deserves a more fair shake.

Love ABF, and a cob is a great pipe to burn it in. Brings out the sweetness in ABF and complements the burley nicely.

Rather fond of ABF myself. I think burley burns better in a cob than VAs, but not sure why that would be. The last of that can of RY just vanished before dinner (broccoli and pasta, with lots of olive oil, Parmesan, and red pepper), so I've resorted to some Marlin Flake in the FourDot pot which should last me to bedtime. Just transposed moves in a chess game and gave away what might have been a hrad fought draw or conceivably a win. sigh. Like signing an incorrect scorecard or something. "I am such a stupid."

I thought I'd have a nice tall bowl of FVF and settle in for the Giants/Dodgers game, then I remembered I finished that tin a couple days ago. So I started pulling tins of flake tobacco out of my cabinet, stopping after there were 8 different tins in front of me, not wanting to make a choice too difficult. Now I cannot decide.

Holy hell - Las Havanezas 1960 is amazingly good. Very well balanced, plenty of depth...this could be an everyday blend for me.

Except that I have to live in Portugal to get it with any regularity. Don't know if I like the guy who sent this to me or not.

Thanks guys! I am quite fond of it as well. I looked for a long time to add one of these to my collection.

Just got home from work. Gonna hit the hay. When I wake up, I think Mr. Durbar and I may have another round. Gonna try drying it out in different intervals and see how that goes.

This morning, during my morning commute up the mountain to work, I had my first taste of an Esoterica blend. It was Woodbridge. It's a mix of LOTS of different VA's with a fruity topping. I could only taste a hint of the topping now and then. The VA's were excellent. Started off very smooth and soft, and picked up flavor and "oomph" as the bowl burnt.

While smoking this Woodbridge in a Falcon, I came around a corner on this two-lane mountain highway to find a small rock slide had blocked the on-coming lane, and a group of bighorn sheep were blocking my lane. They were all standing around in my lane of the highway watching a pair of bighorns "get it on". The sex act had them all enthralled and they weren't looking at my truck, they were ignoring me. I dropped my truck into third gear, then second, then rolled right up on the pair that were rutting, stopping with my front bumper about two feet from the pair. The male looked at me then, but wouldn't stop rutting and wouldn't move. Several LONG blasts from the horn (from only two feet away) finally made the male dismount and move off the highway.

If those rocks are still on the highway when I get off work, I'll pull off the highway and clear them.

Just smoked some London Mixture. I have decided to make a regular rotation by choosing a Latakia blend, a Virginia or Vaper, a burley blend and Royal Yacht and try making myself smoke from the four jars rather than reaching for the RY every time. I will still smoke RY more often than the others.

What a difference a clean pipe makes. Finally got around to cleaning a few pipes yesterday, one of which was my favorite flake pipe, a Peterson sterling silver mounted Spigot X105 straight fish tail. Popped a tin of aged FVF, cut a flake into 4 half inch pieces, dried it, twisted the sections and packed them in the bowl, and I'm now enjoying one of the sweetest smokes I've had in a long time.

No, I'm fine. I just have a lot of small to medium size trade samples I am smoking up as well as samples I picked up from vendors at pipe shows. I'm trying to reduce the number of open baggies I have, nothing more. I thank you for caring enough to ask.

Absolutely. A can or two isn't going to make a difference to me if someone's running low. I'm doing the same thing, working my way through sixteen Pugsley samples, a Tobias purchase and a bunch of samples and tins from a buddy on r/pipetobacco. I've got to eradicate some baggies before I pop another tin.

Durbar in a 1940s Custombilt Lovat.

I've finally beaten Durbar!!! 10 minutes drying time helps. But the true secrete? Packing lighter. This blend wants a loose, air pocket pack. Finally getting this blend. Excellent Virginia sweetness and tangy/spicy Orientals. The latakia is playing second fiddle. It is excellent.

And that, boys and girls, is why you never give up on a blend until you've tried it in multiple pipes with varying drying times as well as different packing techniques.
