What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite stem with cream swirls.

[JimInks]

[Cool Breeze]

Dunhill Elizabethan in a MM Legend.

[Bruck]

Some homemade flake, Batch 27, in a cob.
This one's a brick of "Tobias Surprise," a blend by our friend Tobias Lutz, and, to quote from my notes, "all the usual stuff." That would include VAs, burley, perique, latakia, and some orientals. Not sure what's in the Tobias Surprise but it tastes/smells like kind of a vanilla/whisky blend. At any rate, Batch 27 is a keeper :)

[JimInks]

Frog Morton's Cellar in a generic billiard

Oh man. I just got finished with my very first bowl of FM Cellar.
I cannot remember a tobacco that I fell in love with this fast. From the charring light, I knew I was going to love it. Love everything about it from the tin note to the sweet flavor. Definitely a keeper.

[El Whedo]

Last night I had the urge to open a new tin, something I haven't tried before.

I opened a tin of McClelland's Oriental No. 14. It claims to be a "Full Scottish Mixture" and I have no idea what that means. It is wonderful. Black VA's, a wee bit of latakia, and LOTS of other oriental leafs. It is sweet and sour, smooth, with just a touch of latakia (which I don't like much these days, but I find I do like latakia when there is a light touch blending the latakia, like Bob's Chocolate Flake and this McClellands oriental #14). I smoked it in my latakia dedicated cob.

On the way to work this afternoon I had another bowl in a cob that never had latakia smoked in it. I wanted to more accurately gauge the strength of the latakia. It was even better than last night's bowl. Wonderfully light and smooth, with enough complexity that it's gonna take a few more bowls to really figure out this blend.

[JimInks]

Not sure how I feel about this one.

I was the same way when I first tried it.
There's nothing wrong with it per se, there's just not enough there for me.

The tin note (or bag note since it's a bulk blend) is phenomenal IMO. The flavor just fell a little flat for me.

[Cool Breeze]

Having some Dunhill Elizabethan in a MM Legend.
This is my 4th or 5th bowl and I like it a lot. I don't think it will unseat St. James Flake or Escudo as my #1 and #2 Vapers, but it is damn good none the less.

What does a spillproof corndog cob look like? That sounds interesting.

A guy on another forum who goes by the name "Spillproof" took a round cob bowl, gently coated it to make it studier - without smoking hotter - removed the shank and replaced it with a bulldog shank and vulcanite stem. It's really cool.

Smoking some RY to end the day that started with RY. Just turned off the TV after hearing another L'Oreal beauty products promotional. "Baby I'm worth it." Can you imagine a men's commercial that says something like that? So narcissistic, so self-absorbed. "I'm just wonderful, because I'm ME! And I deserve everything because...I'm a woman who loves herself!" C'mon. Give me one single example of a commercial aimed at men that has the guy say, "I'm worth it." Well...maybe in the sense of being able to afford it. Does anybody else feel that the women's movement is completely dead, and the goal now is to become a beautiful, empty-headed Stepford wife with nothing better to do than dye her hair and scrape her feet -- because she's "worth it". You can earn it, you can be happy you have it, you can even owe it to yourself, but you don't have it because "you're worth it".

If the women's movement is dead, curmudgeonry yet lives!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to grab some more as well. I cracked open a new tin on Father's Day and I think there are 2 flakes left in my jar.

This is the most cost effective way to get it. It's like getting 2 tins for free.

2015 McClelland #2010 in a 1961 Barling's Make #7574 canadian. Bought this pipe last year on The Bay and it's been an elite Virginia (flake) smoker.

I'm thinking that I'll next...

It was amazing, a mellow caramel/vanilla flavor with hints of pecan.The problem is I loaded my pipe three days ago and forgot which tobacco I loaded.It's been a bad week,lots of yard work and and such.Air conditioner went down,water heater gave up the ghost.Now the boss is going on vacation and it looks like a busy two weeks of extra work taking care of guests and pets.I think I need a job digging ditches,it's easier.

Well, I've been like a kid waiting on Christmas the last few days. I ordered a pipe from Smokingpipes.com and have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival.
It's my first ever brand new briar and I am not disappointed. It's a Savinelli Standing 114 KS. Not an expensive one by any means but it is a good smoker.

I was trying to decide what to smoke in it first and figured my favorite Vaper would be a good one to start with. So I got a flake out of my tin of St. James Flake that came in the same order, rubbed it out and let it set for a couple of hours (if you've ever bought a Samuel Gawith flake, you know why) and here I am on the balcony with it.

Love it. It smokes like a dream.
