What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

Not far from finishing this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1978 smooth full bend Dr. Grabow Omega.

[JimInks]

Amphora Brown in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin.

[JimInks]

Heine's Blend in a 2013 MM straight Legend.

[Alligator Gar]

Had 2 bowls of Coyote Classic this afternoon while gardening.

Also tried PA for the first time.
I was very excited to try, and I am looking forward to more.
Can't say that it was love at first smoke, but I am interested.

PA?

[BryGuySC]

Probably Prince Albert.

[Alligator Gar]

Smoking some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented in a MM Great Dane. I don't know if it's the carpenters wood glue I used to repair the shank or the Lakeland essence, but it sure is flavorful.

[El Whedo]

I had a bowl of Billy Budd in a latakia dedicated Dr G during my morning commute up the mountain.

[JimInks]

Almost finished smoking Jim’s C Blend in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band.

[fastnbulbous]

PA?

Yup, Prince Albert.

[JimInks]

Out of the blue, I got a small packet of pipe tobacco from a company called "Test Blend". I dunno what it is yet, but I'm smoking it in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer.

[GWBowman]

Elizabethan Mixture in a Mr. Brog pear wood churchwarden.

[Bruck]

some homemade flake in a meer. This flake is VA/Oriental mainly, with some cavendish, perique, and latakia. Flavored with a bit of rum and vanilla. we like.

Hi Jim,

Can you show some more pics, including one of the smoke hole (end of the stem) and possibly I can help identify it. Pipe looks like (from this one shot) a Cadogan made pipe from the 1960s-1980s. Do you know anything about it? Were there other pipes from the same smoker? Often smokers buy most of their pipes during a specific time frame.

[JustTroItIn]

I have been busy the last few weeks so have not been around too much. I just got back from a weeks vacation up north for some dirt riding, fishing, and the county fair. Only smoked a few bowls while on vaca but did manage to get a few cigars in. I'm not much of a picture taker but here are a few I managed to get.

They started logging the woods where I usually go riding turning gorgeous woods from this:

There are a lot of little lakes and rivers in the area. The kids and I hit up a few.

As you can see the fishing wasn't great but the kids didn't care as long as they caught something and I really enjoyed being out on the water.

Had a few bowls today to play catch up. This morning was Bald Headed Teacher in an MM Great Dane with Forever Stem. This afternoon a bowl of Mississippi River in a Lilliput. That bowl finished up the 2oz tin, but as you can see I have an unopened 8oz ready to go. Currently smoking some Davidov Flake Medallions in a Calibash.

Pete,
I'm ashamed to admit I don't keep very good records when it comes to buying lots. I havn't restored this one yet, just cleaned it and started smoking it. One of my utility players, for sure. Here's an album:

Lol! Obviously not Cadogan but it looks as if it were modeled after one of their pipes. Rounded rim and bent apple was a staple of theirs and someone in Italy borrowed from that shape. Looks like a nice stick, how does it smoke?

It smokes amazing, actually. One of it's more charming characteristics is it fully combusts whatever I put in it.

The Professor is an all black blend that I created for my friend, Dr. Mitch S., and it became a store favorite. I've been working on it for a few weeks and this is the final version that tastes like it did when originally made in 1979. I've also recreated a similar blend that I called Einstein, (so named when Mitch got his doctorate).

The cobs have been wonderful for testing.

I'll post a separate thread if anyone is interested in sampling.

Oh, OK, I'm colorblind (I actually am). Ours was dark blue. We called her Big Blue, imaginatively. It was a great vehicle for road trips, and when you remove the rear seats, there's more cargo capacity than most pickups.

I like that stuff. A little light on flavor but what flavor there is I like. Has sort of a nutmeg thing going on. It's better with a coin of SRT mixed in IMO.

FYI, P&C has a Newminster bulk sale going on - 20% off or something like that. Might have to get a bit more of their 400 flake to squirrel away. Methinks this stuff is good right now and will be even better after a few years.

Oh, forgot... a bowl of SG Firedance Flake, folded/stuffed in a little Savinelli. Not my favorite but burns well and lasts a long time. Like most aromatics, it starts out OK but the remains of the topping just seem to get in the way during the second half of the bowl.

Thanks for the heads-up Bill. My first smoke of the #403 was pretty good although it burns a bit hot. Has some of the cashew taste of the Gawith Hoggarth Curly Cut deLuxe Sliced. I may try the #403 with some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Sliced, thanks for the tip.

Pretty boring topic but at least I'm smoking some good baccy.

INCARCERATION should count as 2-1/2 words!

Tobacco exists for times like this. Relaxed inspiration. You'll ace the essay.

My new neighbor brought over some very spicy barbecue, so I took a 15 minute break from my reunion with Marlin Flake. Straight out of the tin this has been an exquisite and incredibly long lasting bowl (moderate sized pipe) that I've been working for over 2-1/2 hours (less the lunch break). Kudos to Kohlhase because this Marlin Flake is a worthy successor to the original (very similar) but I wish that I'd tried it earlier and I'd have bought 20 tins during the P&C 20% off sale.

No question, Marlin Flake will become a staple of mine again. If you like Virginia flakes (VaPer) and haven't smoked it I'd recommend it. You'll love the long flakes (I think) that are heaven to fold and stuff.
