What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

The last of my stash of GQ Nottingham Lace: Noir in a smooth 1981 Century full bend natural egg.

[BryGuySC]

Drew Estate 7th Avenue Blonde that has been jarred up for about a year.
It has become more mellow, and the vanilla has stepped back a little. Still a very sweet smoke, but pleasant.

[droy1958]

I wish I knew. It has "1986" on the bottom of the shank, and "Italy" on the bottom of the stem and a double circle on the side of the stem (hard to see on second picture). It smokes great....

[JimInks]

Smoker’s Pride Mellow in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple.

[BryGuySC]

First time smoking H&H Anniversary Kake. Pretty good. It should age really well.

[Aguineapig]

A bowl of Dark Birdseye in a small Jeantet Prince upon rising this morning (with strong tea). I really really like this stuff (curse you Jim!!) and will definitely need to keep it on hand for a hearty Virginia. Really fills a niche in the rotation.

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of the original Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09). Simply Orange is my drink.

[JimInks]

First time smoking H&H Anniversary Kake. Pretty good. It should age really well.

Last fall I smoked an eight ounce tub from the summer of 2012, and here's what I noticed: it loses just a little sweetness, and the Virginia becomes a little more refined and obvious than when fresh.

[AndyCAYP]

Really? No photo?

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

Nice and simple. There's some character thanks to a few short sandpit flaws but they'll go away once the pipe starts coloring. It smokes like a dream.

[JimInks]

The last of my open stash of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1970s three quarter bend half smooth, half rusticated Savinelli Autograph 4 with a lucite stem and ferrule. As I just got some of the original, I jarred the ounce of the Match I had left, save for this bowl. This Match is certainly closer to the original than Lane Limited Ready Rubbed.

I had a loooong smoke of the last of a sample of Balkan Sasieni in a Peterson standard this morning and afternoon. Got distracted and set it down numerous times. This blend is very similar to PS proper English, although the Sasieni is (I think) a bit more complex and flavorful. The Proper English is a perfectly good substitute though, and with a little age I suspect will be just as good (not to mention much cheaper).

[Bruck]

Some homemade flake in a briar. It's my flake batch 32: Mostly VA: bright, red, and lemon; small amounts of burley, MD 609, prilep, and imzir. Cased w/ DW and rum/vanilla. We like, is good.

So I broke out some Elizabethan Mixture and a MM Legend and it is really hitting the spot.

4noggins. I keep an eye out for it and grab it like it is Stonehaven on Christmas. Let it settle with a bit of age and it is lovely stuff. I prefer it in my clay pipes, but it is good in briars too. Far smoother than Semois. You do have to have a taste for stouter stuff, though. Brown bogie and rum twist are favorites.

I only have a couple bowls of the stuff left. Hopefully I will see it again soon.

I have been checking there several times a week and haven't had any luck. Wrote them about it and they said that their communications with the supplier had broken down and that they probably wouldn't be getting any in the near future. They don't even list it on the website as of a week ago.

This evening I am half way thru a bowl of SG FVF in my extra large Savinelli 320.:piper: I was digging thru my stash and spotted one pipeful of this tobacco in my baggie; it's humidity level was just perfect and no drying was necessary. I decided to use Neill Archer Roan's Chamber Geometry Technique.:wave: I do not use this process often for the simple reason that I am too lazy to prepare and smoke the tobacco in the required ways to extract this delicious flavor profile. My extra large 320 has the needed chamber geometry for this process. I crumbled 1/3 of the FVF into the bottom of the bowl and folded and stuffed the required amount to fill the bowl. I have been using this technique since 2010 and initially I was skeptical but after several years of using it-I am a believer.:wavey: The essence of this technique is to extract a maximum flavor profile from your tobacco derived from the unburned part of the tobacco. The concept here is that you actually obtain your tobacco flavors from the part of your unburned part of the tobacco in your bowl. Neills's process consists of the Combustion, Distillation and Condensation Zones. Neill wants the Combustion Zone to be in the middle and as small as possible in the middle of the bowl; I have never been able to do this and instead I only light a small section on the inside side of the bowl.:ask: Enough said about the process, this evening my FVF is absolutely delicious and I am topping it off with a large ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and this has been a great pipe event.:beerchug:
