What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

A couple minutes or so away from smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.

[JimInks]

[Tony78]

MacBaren Navy Flake in a MM Legend cob

[Bruck]

Some homemade flake in a cob. This flake is cigar leaf and rolling scaps, plus some cavendish, VA, some other stuff, and dark rum topping. It's okay, but not one of my better ones, to be honest.

[JimInks]

Just finished this bowl of Amphora Brown in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin.

[JimInks]

B&B Scott’s Companion in a 1990 Peterson Irish Second Oom Paul natural.

[JimInks]

Watch City Persian Slipper in a full bend black pebble finish 2001 Rinaldo Lithos YY8 Titania Silver Line egg.

[Cool Breeze]

A concoction I mixed up. I bought some straight Virginia tobacco from a local B&M and it fell a little flat. It's not bad, just nothing that wows you.
I also bought a drugstore cherry blend that is wet and not very good by itself due to tongue bite and little flavor.

Mixed together, they're not half bad. Tastes okay and smells great. I now have a quart mason jar of it. :)

I smoked it in a MM Huck Finn tonight.

[Branzig]

A Custom-Bilt full of Red Rap

Hey Jim, any new info on the release of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky?


Silver flake in a Savinelli 920 ks

Nope. Haven't heard a word more. I'm sure of one thing: it's going to get hoarded like hell when it does arrive, judging by all comments I see on the forums.

I'm trying hard to think of what to smoke next...maybe some Odyssey.

[JimInks]

Sutliff Golden Age in a 1982 smooth straight Dunhill Root Briar 31051.

[GWBowman]

Philip Morris Revelation in my old reliable 1986 smooth Peterson Kildare 999 Rhodesian.

Jim, how old is that tobacco? I've never heard of Philip Morris pipe tobacco. This got my curiosity up.

[GWBowman]

I started to grab a stick when I remembered IPSD. So I opted for SPC Plum Pudding in a MM Cob.

[JimInks]

Jim, how old is that tobacco? I've never heard of Philip Morris pipe tobacco. This got my curiosity up.

This version of Revelation is from the 1950s. Philip Morris was fairly big into making tobacco blends until the late '60s, maybe into the 1970s. I'm not certain when they got out of the pipe tobacco market.

[Branzig]

Celebrated IPSD smoking a pipe I made with a blend I put together that I call no clue (because I didn't have one when I made it)
It now sports a 1/4 bend and the chamber has been blackened :cool:

[Branzig]

Starting up a bowl of Kendal flake in my Lakeland Legend. Gotta rep some Lakeland stylings for IPSD!

Just thought of something funny. What if I had one of Emperor Zurg's glass slippers and all I smoked in it was Lakeland snot covered tobacco? How ironic and funny would that be?! [emoji14]

[Pugsley]

After nearly a week of having only Carter Hall to smoke, I'm back home and celebrated with a bowl of Three Nuns in a John Bessai Special X squat tomato.

I never really took a liking to the Manil tobacco like I thought I would from the reviews before the U.S. release.

Anyhow Jim, Strang, is that the Motzek - Curly (Strang)? Where can one find it?

Escudo in a six sided paneled Mark Tinsky apple with a coral finish and amber stem. It's the 2007 Club Stogie pipe that I bought from a brother, who's name escapes me just now, on Puff. A terrific smoker with a nice, open draw,and I still can't understand how he could part with it.

[Bruck]

[JimInks]

Anyhow Jim, Strang, is that the Motzek - Curly (Strang)? Where can one find it?

As much as I like the Semois, I find I can only like as much as I do if I smoke it every once in a while and not in a big bowl. I much prefer Tilbury!

Strang is only available from Herb Motzek in Germany. You have to send him a private message for detail on how to pay for it. I say it's the best tobacco made today, and I wish I could afford to cellar it. If you decide to buy it, I strongly recommend you buy the uncut rope version, which looks like a cigar. The pre-cut version is a little less stronger with less nuance and for some reason, they add a very slight topping... guess to keep it fresh or something. Bad, bad, bad idea.

Just had some Burley Flake #3 in a Tom Howard Billiard. What a great way to start the day.

[Cool Breeze]

I had a small bowl of the St James Flake we got together and bought in our inaugural group buy.
It tastes very good. A little sweetness from the Virginias and just a hint of spice from the Perique.

It ships a little wet and did require a few re-lights, but it did not effect the flavor at all so it was a non issue.
I probably will rub it out and let it sit for a couple hours next time.

It's good now, I can't wait to try this after it sits for a year or two.

2010 Virgina Long Cut in a Boswell 00 pipe. Both were recently gifted to me on another forum. I did a partial bowl in a very nice pipe. Generosity of fellow BOTL still amaze me. I made it quick. Wind was gusting 30+ and it is 20 degrees and snowing. Not optimal smoking conditions, but it was worth it!

[Griz]

Forgot my tobacco jar at home. Dropped by Walgreens and picked up some Captain Black in the white pouch. Smoke it in a Dr. Grabow rusticated military. Not too shabby.

I don't know what the shape is called; I looked on their website and couldn't find a current offering that was similar. It was part of one of their grab bags of reject pipes. Glad to hear you are enjoying the forever stem. The clay you gave me is just starting to color like dulce la leche. It smokes cool and dry.

G&H Scotch Flake Scented in a no-name lattice billiard meer. Getting ready for March Meer Madness. This is the only meer I smoke. I have one other one, but I can't get a good smoke out of it to save my life.

G&H Scotch Flake Scented in a no-name lattice billiard meer.

Is that a Lakeland snot blend? I almost picked some up on IPSD but used my inner (weak) self control to keep the price of my order down.

Not really. The topping is mostly cocoa/vanilla. It has a very slight Lakeland floral quality, but it's more like it was stored somewhere in proximity to some Ennerdale. It is a very background note. I quite enjoy it, but I don't like heavy Lakeland blends.

Hmm interesting. Sounds like it is more of the topping that may be found on the grand SG Kendal Cream Flake. I may check it out sometime, although it seems when it comes to GH&Co blends, I like the snot thick :p

Speaking of Kendal Cream, I am finishing up some DGT style. Left half a bowl in the garage overnight for some odd reason. The extra dryness is bringing out some interesting notes in the burley side I think! :pipe:
