Hamborger Veermaster in a pipe by Eckhard Stohr that I purchased several years ago from someone who had, unfortunately, been laid off and had to liquidate part of his collection. Not quite sure what to call this shape, but if you look at album one on this page, it's the 5th pipe shown there.

[Branzig]

A bit of Haddo's Delight in a Capitello Billiard.

[JimInks]

Now smoking Capstan Blue in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. Needed a straight Va. with a little sweetness.

[JimInks]

Now smoking Walnut in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat. This finishes the stash, though I have an ounce or so jarred for the future. Still working and listening the MLB talk on the XM.

[Branzig]

About to light up another bowl of Durbar in a 1940s Custombilt lovat.

Trying to decide what to watch on Netflix. Just watched "Beware of Mr. Baker." Documentary about the famous drummer Ginger Baker. If you love music, I highly recommend it.

[JimInks]

A minute or two away from smoking Old Colonial in a medium bend beater 1979 Aalborg natural freehand made by Nording.

[JimInks]

Almost finished smoking Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a 2013 MM straight Legend.

[JimInks]

About half way through this bowl of C&D Oak Alley in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic stem. Have enough left for one more bowl.

Anybody else awake yet?

[JimInks]

Now smoking Sam Gawith Brown Sugar Flake in a mid-1970s black rusticated straight Savinelli Estella 915 KS billiard. Have enough left for a couple more bowls.

[JimInks]

First time smoking Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a smooth shank. Man, this is one great tobacco! It's their version of Escudo though it tasting more like Dunhill Navy Rolls to me.

[JimInks]

McClelland Top Hat in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and saddle stem.

[JustTroItIn]

Smoking a bowl of Nightcap in a Non Canta La Raganella Prima.

[JimInks]

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

[Pugsley]

Second bowl from a fresh tin of Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique, this time in a cob. Definitely has a rough edge to it, but nothing a few months of rest in a jar won't smooth out. Looking forward to trying it again in about 6 months.

[Alligator Gar]

Smoked a bowl of thin sliced, rubbed and thoroughly dried jackknife plug in a Barling NeverBent. It tasted way different than it does in a cob. Sweet looking burl, for sure.
http://i.imgur.com/2sTha3E.png

[Bruck]

Having some homemade flake in a Dr. G Grand Duke. This batch is VA, perique, burley, cavendish, with some peach topping.

[Alligator Gar]

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

And now I've found something else to lust after. Thanks Jim.

[JimInks]

Relaxing after dinner with D&R Ryback in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Rego 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule. Probably should have used a pipe with a bigger bowl. Love the dark fired in it!

[JimInks]

And now I've found something else to lust after. Thanks Jim.

I'd put it in my top five all time smokes. And if it wasn't so hard and expensive to get from Germany, I'd have 30 pounds or more in this house.

[Alligator Gar]

I'd put it in my top five all time smokes.

Which begs the question: what are the other four?

[Bruck]

OK, now we're doing a little Daughters and Ryan Three Sails in a cob. Pretty much straight VA w/ a little sweetness.

Happy Cinco de Mayo y'all!

[JimInks]

Which begs the question: what are the other four?

VaPer Three Nuns is my all time favorite smoke. The others are Strang, old Balkan Sobranie (certainly not the new rubbish they are making now), Stonehaven, and Murray's Dunhill Navy Rolls. However the new Peter Heinrichs Curly Block is much like the Murray's NR, except a little sweeter with fewer, almost no grass notes, not that the Murrays had much of it. Edgeworth Slices is #6.

[JimInks]

Viprati in a 2004 smooth long stem Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3. I'm hydrating the rest of Ryback so it'll burn slower.

[Lynn]

gotcha..Butternut Burley..4 bowls today while in town..2468

[Lostmason]

Hard day cutting trees and brush,,,settled in with a bowl of CH.
Tell us Lynn , how is that pipe,think this a new hobby for you?

[JimInks]

Peretti’s #333 in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09).

[Alligator Gar]

However the new Peter Heinrichs Curly Block is much like the Murray's NR, except a little sweeter with fewer, almost no grass notes, not that the Murrays had much of it. Edgeworth Slices is #6.

So other than the Stonehaven, all are pretty much unobtainable.

http://i.imgur.com/2sTha3E.png

Do you like it better in a cob or a briar?

[Alligator Gar]

Do you like it better in a cob or a briar?

Cob, by far. Barling had just received a rigorous cleaning, may need a few bowls through it to get it re-seasoned.

Had a nice bowl of MYB (My Own Blend) from P&C that was sent to me by a BOTB. He mixes a VaPer with DFK and a splash of Cavendish - lovely stuff.

That whole P&C thing is a bunch of fun - really happy with my blend. In fact, it is about time to order another few ounces...

Where can I buy some St. James Plug? Thanks
I just buy St James Flake at half the price. It is the same thing, sliced, and you will have to slice the plug to smoke it. Some say the plug ages a little differently, but unless your taste buds are world class, you won't be able to tell the difference.

I can tell a little difference because the plug does age a little differently, but it's not a major change by any means, and certainly not enough to justify paying $100 pound, plus overseas shipping.

Puffin on some Lane Burley Light without a Bite (or something like that). I wouldn't normally go for an aromatic burley, but a dude from work gave it to me - not too bad, really.

[commonsenseman]

JFG Brown Flake in a Glass Sipper, followed by a B&M "mystery" Navy Flake in a Savinelli 101. I suspect it's a MacBaren blend based on appearance, flavor & how my tongue feels afterwards.

Home after a wonderful dinner, but I only managed to get in one smoke, which was Watch City Christmas Past 2014 in a 1978 smooth pointy bottom three quarter bend Sir Brent, shaped like a check mark. Now to make up for lost time! Smoking the last of this stash of St. James Plug in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit.

A short time ago I finished off the last of my aged tins of Classic Burley Kake. Tonight I had my second bowl from a fresh tin. I have always loved this blend, but what I smoked tonight bore no resemblance to the Burley Kake I've enjoyed for so many years. The topping was just overwhelming, growing in intensity as the smoke progressed, one of the worst things I've smoked in a long time. I couldn't taste the burley at all. What happened to this blend? Did I just get a bad tin or has the recipe been changed to the cloyingly sweet tobacco I had tonight?

Smoking a La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor churchill for a change of pace

Out of everything that I sent ya, I would say it is a toss up between the Red Rap and Abingdon being my favorites. I concur on the creaminess, and I think it is one of the smoothest tobaccos that I have ever smoked.

Spring is in full 100% swing here, so my smoking is at a stand still until the pollen settles down. Part of the reason I have been missing around here as of late. But I have been self medicating my congestion with some Habanero powder that has been doing the trick .... :p
