What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[tmoran]

Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a sandblast bent billiard Oscar

How is it?

[JimInks]

Chatham Manor in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot.

[Haebar]

How is it?

It is really good! It produces a healthy volume of smoke and it is satisfying. I don't know if it is supposed to be an aromatic or not but a hint caramel came to mind.

[Big Tex]

OJK in my Peterson Aran Rhodie. Only my second go at this blend and I quite like it!

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.

I love the cob too!
You should post a picture up sometime of that clay, I hope it serves you well.

Is that a clay or a meer? Since it is shiny, I am guessing clay? Where is it from?

Some Comoy's Cask No.1 in a Karl Erik freehand.

[freestoke]

I've popped an old can of Erinmore Flake that predates the new square cans.

http://www.pfeife-tabak.de/Tabak/Murray/Erinmore/Plug/ErinmorePlugNL.jpg

I like the little flakes much better than the ones in the new square can. And they burn exceptionally well in the Sasieni "Canadian" Canadian, forming a musketball of precisely the right weight and caliber for the chamber.

[tmoran]

This morning it was more Scotch Flake Scented, this time in a small, straight Brigham Dublin with some black coffee for the morning commute. Happy Friday! Let's get this week over with.

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Edgeworth Slices in an old medium bend grain etched Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand. Someone surprised me by sending me about three bowls worth!

Scotch Flake Scented (aka, Aromatic)! Nice smoke, that! I've just opened another can of The "Royal Yacht" Mixture and have a fresh musketball burning in the less-than-regal Legend Forever. Looks as if we'll finish February without a single day above freezing. Damn Typhoon Nuri!!

Yes it is. I just bought some on IPSD based on the sample you sent me. There is no doubt that G&H has some of the finest tobaccos out there.

What's the flavoring? I've smoked regular Scotch Flake and thought it already had some kind of topping. Seemed slightly chocolaty like tonquin bean or something.

Reaching for more GLP Meridian in a Big Ben dublin. Drinking my coffee the Irish way on this Friday morning, engines needed a little boost to make it into the weekend.

It is kind of a cocoa vanilla flavoring. I'm not sure if there is a difference or not. SmokingPipes only has Scotch Flake, Pipes and Cigars only has Scotch Flake Scented, and on TobaccoReviews there are only 2 reviews for Scotch Flake Aromatic. One is Freestoke's and the other is saying it is the same as regular Scotch Flake. I've never ordered regular Scotch Flake, so I don't know if it's different or not. I do know it is tasty, though.

It is not the same as Scotch Flake, which is more a straight, medium Va. I guess it's the Scotch Flake with cocoa-vanilla topping that makes it smell like a chocolate candy bar. It's really the most chocolate smelling tobacco I've encountered. Very fine tobacco! It's not really a "vanilla" aromatic, either, not enough vanilla to give it much of a room note.

An after-lunch helping of Marlin Flake. Just found the can in the bottom of the tobacco basket! Amazingly fresh, since it's still in the original plastic lidded container.

This evening I am starting out with a bowl of HH Acadian Perique in my extra large Rossi Pickaxe freehand.:pipe: I've only had this tobacco blend for about a month, but I seem to smoke it frequently. This tobacco seems to create and leave a spicy wispiness around my nose and tongue that keeps me wanting more; yet I know that if I immediately had another bowl of this tobacco it would not be as good so I go on to another tobacco blend.:cheerful: I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and this evening is starting out just fine!:joyous:

Smoking my first bowl of St. James Flake in a Sunrise. I actually tried smoking this bowl last night, but it didn't want to burn even after leaving the tobacco out to dry for about 90 minutes. So I left the bowl for this morning and it's burning much better now.

A little weird, there. Got an email (haven't figured out how to shut that off yet) that alerted me to Colby quoting me. Following the link, my words (no doubt a string of pearls) are nowhere to be found, but now that I'm here I'll just mention in passing that I'm about to light the Sasieni TwoDot apple, one of my absolute favorite pipes. (I have approximately 10 absolutely favorite pipes, BTW.) The pipe contains the last of the Tilbury that tmoran bribed me with to come her, oddly coincidental with the fact that Landon actually quoted tmoran. Must be the harmony of spheres is hitting a few jangling accidentals or something.

[JimInks]

Almost half way through this bowl of GQ Balkan Full in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog. Have enough left for a couple more bowls.

Dupe. And more weirdness -- my post count equals my RG.

Nothing. I've smoked nothing today. I smoked nothing yesterday or for the last four days because I apparently have some form of plague. That hasn't, of course, stopped the TAD orders from rolling in...mocking me. I see you down there in my tobacco cabinet. Calling out to me to smoke you.

Damn you cowpox or swine flu or ebola or whatever this is....I just wanna smoke my pipes.

I thought as much, and I appreciate the assurance that I still maintain my headlock on reality.

I will share with you today's momentous happenings, as I work away at some Nightcap in the Legend Forever and my second Genesee. I hired a crew to shovel the roof! Man, that is a LOT of snow off my mind! I've been feeling like Kelsey Grammer in Down periscope, when he sees just how deep the old WWII submarine will go without the hull crushing, in my case, wondering exactly how much the roof could take without collapsing. Pretty sure the rain Tuesday would have brought the snowpack into the garage and flattened the shed.

We also succeeded in beating the old February average temp record, set back in 1851, with a sizzling average daily high of 7F. We console ourselves knowing we survived the worst February ever and wallow in all the prestige that that entails.

And, how did you like it? I was going to post a review about OJK today actually. Love that stuff.

[Branzig]

And, how did you like it? I was going to post a review about OJK today actually. Love that stuff.

I am about 3/4 of the way through it right now...I am sipping it to try to get all the right flavors out of it.

From the start, I am shocked at how mild overall it is! Nice nutty Burley and smooth with no bite at all. Burns great! The N kick is decent, but not as strong as some have made it out to be (IMO). I would put it in the medium range.

My only complaint so far is...the perique believe it or not. I am usually a perique fan, but in this blend I feel like it is robbing from the Burley a bit and the Va A LOT.

I love the stem on that!

[MrMotoyoshi]

I love the stem on that!

Thanks. The original was very similar swirled green. I sent that and a Custombilt to Shinichi Kuwahara of K's Pipes for two new stems. They smoke way better now.

Smoking the last of my stash of Watch City Slices in a straight 2012 Rekamepip made Sugar Barrel pipe.

I notice you are finishing a lot of different jars. You must be doing a clean up.

[JimInks]

I sure am. I have so many open baggies and tins, and I want to narrow it down some so I can smoke some other stuff. This is take me some time to accomplish.

My power was out for several hours, but it's back on now. Earlier, I smoked mid-1920s Half&Half and then MB Vintage Syrian. Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in the second pipe I ever bought, a 1974 three quarter bend black groove carved Dr. Grabow Omega. A bottle of 7-Up is my drink.

Now smoking an eight year old Camacho Corojo Churchill. Can't remember the CC line this cigar falls in, but it's one of the strongest cigars they make!

[Lostmason]

Just sat back with a Burley Lite ( bulk blend ) Used "Frank's"method and it's smoking so smoothly,,,,,Thanks for the tips !!

[Trroutman22]

Early in my pipe career McCranie's still had some and I bought a bunch. It is one of my favorites.

[Bruck]

Got a few new tobaccos today. Just finished a bowl of Stokkbyes Bullseye Flake, which was very nice. Definitely a "git more of."

Currently burning up some Daughter and Ryan 3 Sails. I got it mainly for mixing/blending, but I thought I'd try it by itself first. It's not bad, very light and clean, but a bit on the bland side.

[GWBowman]

TB's VA/MD Flake in a Dr. G Savoy

It is unique, but I didn't dislike it.
