What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Bruck]

Enjoying the fall colors and burning some of my own leaves - a silver river blend, in a mini meer.

[Nachman]

I wanted something quick and easy so I popped open a jar of 5 Bros from the American production with many years of age on it. It was as dry as dust and about the same consistency. I went ahead and loaded a MM Patriot and lit up. It still tastes like 5 Bros. That pipe only lasted about five minutes, but it put out the low nicotine light.

Just had a bowl of Smoky's Blend (1Q & BCA) in my Orlik Captain Black billiard while watching the Tennessee-Alabama game. Tennessee lost but they sure put up a good fight!

New forum rule: you and Alligator Gar must cease mentioning the 320KS. Thanks to the impending little one I'm under a self-imposed spending halt but PAD is hitting me hard and the Sav Bianca Author is calling to me like a siren's song.

Heck, TAD's hitting me hard too. I have to walk past a shelf of Capstan, FVF, IF, and Dunhill Flake every day, and I can't help but think how great the tins would look tucked away in my cellar.

Currently burning 2010 FVF in the Herbaugh. The rain's coming off & on, the wind's picking up, but it's still comfortable enough to be outside.

[coffeecup]

This evening I am smoking some "Dunhill Early Morning Pipe" in my extra large Rossi freehand.:pipe: I have not smoke this blend in more than 6 months and while I was digging thru my stash this tobacco blend "popped out at me" and I could not resist.:wave: My tobacco this evening is so very nice and flavorful; I just might have a second bowl after this one finishes. I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Becks" brew and I am feeling mellow.:beerchug:

Just finished smoking Condor Ready Rubbed in an undated fancy designed tall, thin bowl medium bend Waren Zeichen Viennese Coffeehouse Bombay clay with a white acrylic stem.

Just finished a bowl of D&R Picayune in a swanky little mini clay with a bowl molded in the shape of a man's head - looks like a stern academic type.
Picayune is a STRONG burley/perique. Nice flavor, and did I mention it's STRONG? Going to bed as soon as the room stops spinning :)

Ah, my poor Bills. What a disappointment this year.

Still on the snuff kick this morning. Digging into French Carotte right now. Potentially on deck is Crumbs of Comfort, Black Rappee, Rose of Sharrow, Bordeaux, or Ambassador. All are within arms reach. Hops and/or Pumpkin Pie will be sniffed once I commence to cracking open some Southern Tier Pumking later today.

Morning Andy,

I like Buffalo and Rex Ryan and I root for them as much as a Jets fan possibly can but they are in a real bad way today against the Jags.

I absolutely felt that this team needed an attitude, and Rex was the right guy to bring it. I also absolutely felt that his troubles in NY were because of Woody, but I'm realizing that Rex's problems are equally his own fault.

He's a defensive genius but can't generate pressure with one of the better front fours in the league. He's blitzing like crazy and exposing huge gaps in the field that decent QBs can exploit. This team was supposed to ride the defense but the whole thing is falling flat. I'm less concerned about the offense, but I figured by now we'd be seeing more than what we've gotten...

Frankly, the whole thing is a mess. Thankfully, I was the ONLY Bills fan not expecting the playoffs this year but I did expect to be a wild card contender.

Hi Andy,

Not to get too much off topic but I think that the Bills have a strong front four but Rex is best in a 3-4 and he hasn't used that good DL effectively. He also drops guys off into coverage (and Mario Williams, perhaps among others doesn't like that). I don't see the Bills well prepared and that's on Rex.

Jacksonville just can't close and have kept the Bills in the game.

Alternating Toque's Rich Dark Chocolate and Toffee. Should be mainlining it, to be honest, because I'm incredibly nervous now that I hit "import" on a file containing over 25,000 item codes for the new website. If this gets screwed up, I've created untold work for myself. If it goes off without a hitch... Well, I still have hours of work before the site can go live, but at least the biggest hurdle will have been hopped.

Actually, if this gets screwed up, I'm going outside with a baseball-sized bowl of Royal Yacht.

I actually just returned from smoking a tiny cob bowl of my choco-vanilla aro at work while I was compressing 20oz of my new VaPer blend into a space slightly smaller than a Padron 2000 cigar box. I wrapped it in caution tape and put a sign on it not to open until November 9th. My hands smell like the most wonderful mixture of earth from the Perique and burnt wood from the bourbon I used to add moisture to the kake instead of distilled water, and the tiny-tiny-tiny bit of Latakia I added. Wish I could capture it in a cologne bottle.

My experience: smoke it wet in a tall, narrow bowl. Entirely different sensations.

[AndyCAYP]

About four years ago I jarred up a quarter can of Red Raparee. Wasn't in the mood for anything in particular this morning so on a whim I grabbed it.

I can't say if it's the age of the tobacco or the pipe, as I've never smoked it this old and I've never smoked it in this particular craggytop McCarter, but this is one of the best bowls of tobacco I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It started out seriously floral which I absolutely loved, and then it became creamy with a decent bit of pepper offset by a citrusy tang and pure sweet tobacco goodness. At times I noticed salty and sour notes that could be separate or complementary, and the floral character has come back for bits of time, and while light in character I want to call it rich. What a treat.

[c.ortiz108]

My experience: smoke it wet in a tall, narrow bowl. Entirely different sensations.

I did dry it out longer than planned. I'll try it wet next time, in my billiard. I think that's the tallest and narrowest pipe I have.

In all seriousness, I am going bald. And, I'm on track to report over 140 hours for the past two weeks when payroll is called in. So there's that, I guess.

Just finished working for the evening. It was in the low 40s through this afternoon, pouring down rain all day. It became extremely windy a few hours ago for a short time, a thunderstorm rolled through, and now it's in the low 60s. Very, very, very weird.

Sutliff's Edgeworth match. I asked them for a sample with the last order I placed and it arrived today. I think I'll be ordering this in!

Update on the Red Rap conundrum: the bright floral notes the other day were definitely due to the pipe. I had another bowl earlier today in a taller but skinnier bowl and there wasn't a hint of soap or flower. Still good, very good, but not Nectar of the Gods good.

Hi Andy,

Site looks good and I placed an order. Well done and may it be the vessel of bountiful business!

Rattray's Marlin Flake (~65%) and Gawith Hoggarth Sweet Maple Twist (~35%) in a 1961 Barling's Make #5179 saddle billiard. Lovely combination.

Curiosity got the better of me. Had to take a peek at Whiskeykake.

http://www.niceashnews.com/blucover/whiskeykake.jpg

I only opened it for a minute, honest. It's back under pressure already. I'm not sure why there's a large, slightly sticky mass in the center (where it's noticeably darker) - maybe because I had to jury rig the whole thing and I'm pressing it unevenly, so it's forcing some of the moisture to that area - but that's not a big concern. This stuff is oily as heck and it smells absolutely divine. I will say that for using only a touch of latakia, 5%, it smells fairly strongly of it. And the perique, which accounts for 20%, is very pungent too.

Anyway, I'm putting my pipe down and lighting up a Behike. Haven't had a cigar in a while, and I've earned this one. I also brought a smidge of Pappy rye and a smidge of EH Taylor rye, so that'll be my late lunch.
