What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[LandonColby]

Lit a pipe full of some old Dunhill Early Morning Pipe, walked out to check the post from yesterday and found out I could be smoking some Organically Grown Flake that OnePyroTec sent! Dammit!

I'll finish this EMP and my cup of coffee and immediately toast up some OGF.

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of Edgeworth Slices in an old medium bend grain etched Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand. I've enough left for half a bowl. A cup of coffee brewed to the proper temperature is my drink on this cold and rainy day.

Great stick!

Gonna light up a bowl of Junkyard Dawg in a Custombilt while working on my homemade pipe rack.

[JimInks]

Doblone D’Oro in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315. I've enough for one more smoke.

[LandonColby]

Smoking my sample of McClelland OGF in a Fero author. This is a nice Va flake, bright leaf with a light sweetness, lightly tangy, but the flavor is tad rounder than a typical blend of all golden virginias. Good stuff!

[JimInks]

Listing this a few minutes early: HU Scotney in a straight Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420. This will finish the tin.

Practically nothing but RY in various pipes for three straight days, right now in a huge Ser Jacopo. Sauerbraten tonight! Warming up with a fine pilsner from Genesee Brewing Corporation, one of the few mainline American beers remaining. Practically everything is now owned by a Russian conglomerate and the rest by IntBev. Budweiser, Rolling Rock, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, Pabst, Rainier, Olympia, National Bohemian, Lone Star...the list is long and depressing.

You are becoming an English Codger. I too have been smoking RY today, except for one bowl of University Flake.

Gonna shake it up with a bowl of ...hmmm...Erinmore Flake! Yeah, Nick, I think my mostly-Limey genes were activated when I lived in England.

HA! I had a jar that used to hold RY, but when I opened this can of Erinmore the other day, I stuck it in the empty jar without relabeling it. So, even though it's Erinmore Flake, I feel that, technically speaking, the RY Juggernaut serendipitously continues apace!

What is your opinion of the D&R offerings? I see them at good prices on P&C pretty regularly, but I've never smoked them.

[izkeh]

Had a bowl of St James Flake in a cobbit shire and now Bob's Chocolate Flake in a full bent Digby. First bowls I've had in over a week...

[cpmcdill]

What is your opinion of the D&R offerings? I see them at good prices on P&C pretty regularly, but I've never smoked them.

D&R makes mostly dual-purpose tobaccos. Most have a cut and moisture level that they can be used in RYO cigarettes, but with a bit of added moisture can be good in a pipe, or can be used as blending tobaccos. Essentially, they are uncased, and have about the dryness and cut of Five Brothers.

I've only tried these two:
Picayune is an excellent alternative to Five Brothers, as it also has VA, oriental and perique. Reputedly one of the strongest pipe tobaccos, nicotine-wise. I have found it to be very strong, but the jury's out on whether it beats Brown Bogie.

Rimboche A.B. is one of their pipe-only tobaccos, and is a delicious and totally unique Latakia blend. Nothing else quite like it.

D&R tobaccos, being uncased, means that you get a lot more tobacco for your dollar, even given that they are already inexpensive. One can add some distilled water if necessary.

Had a great time at pipe club last night and much baccy was smoked. I got to try a bowl of Murray's Era Dunhill Standard Mixture from 2002 (excellent!) and also a blend that had Syrian Latakia (much different than the smoky Cyprian we mostly smoke now). It's amazing how fast three hours go by with great company and good baccy.

This morning I smoked Bald Headed Teacher in a Viking for the drive into work.

Gonna light up a Savi full of Mississippi Mud in a second here.

Looking forward to trying this stuff out...was going to end the night with it because Latakia can blow my tastebuds to the point that I only wan to smoke Latakia after a bowl, but I can't wait to smoke it.

Damn Anticipation!!!! :pipe:

[Branzig]

Well the Mississippi Mud was a let down...But it was my first go with the blend and the pipe wasn't exactly great either, so I will give it another shot later on.

Moving on to the tried and true Kendal Cream Flake now. Can't go wrong here :pipe:

Yeah.. heavy flavors tend to meld like that. A little air time and a pipe that doesn't have a strong tasting cake in it might bring out the different components.

Morning JT,

Sorry to hear about you getting more snow that means that we across the Sound had a narrow miss. Snow is melting slowly and the worst would appear to be over.

When Bengal Slices was introduced (late 1970s) the James Russell sales rep said that it represented the English Colonial period in India. A Latakia / Virginia (thick cut) flake was pretty novel at the time and India grew strains of Virginia but no Latakia. I didn't get the connection until the head of sales explained to me that it was the color of the resulting flake, (somewhat) alternating black and yellow, like that of a bengal tiger.

PipeTobacco.Com (where I get my Louisiana Flake) also refers to it as Louisiana Perique Flake. I don't know the history of the blend but perhaps it was called the longer name at some point before a fellow of erudition, such as yourself, pointed out the repetitive nature of the mixture's name.

When Bengal Slices was introduced (late 1970s) the James Russell sales rep said that it represented the English Colonial period in India. A Latakia / Virginia (thick cut) flake was pretty novel at the time and India grew strains of Virginia but no Latakia. I didn't get the connection until the head of sales explained to me that it was the color of the resulting flake, (somewhat) alternating black and yellow, like that of a bengal tiger.

Interesting, Pete! I'm smoking some plain ol' RY at the moment, in the CG Forever redux. The sun is OUT!! 982

Jim, I have to ask. How many pipes do you have in your regular rotation, and how many more make a cameo appearance from time to time?

I own 260 pipes, but I can't answer the rest of your question because I've never thought about it. I have favorites and a few non-favorites, but that's about as much an answer as I can give. Just never think about it. What pipe I smoke depends on what tobacco I am smoking.

Just finishing this bowl of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Next is Lane Hazelnut in a 2003 IMP horn Meer.

Anyone remember David McCarter? I just smoked some Erinmore Flake in a decent sized Pot shape he did for me.

I remember him. I have a couple of his very early pipes that I bought from him when he was just getting started. I was just looking at his website a couple weeks ago and he has come a long, long way. Gorgeous stuff on there, although I just checked and the site appears to be down now. www.mccarterpipes.com

There are a couple examples of his more recent work in this thread. http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/chicago-show-haul-part-ii-david-mccarter-egg

JimInks, I am curious to what your top blends of Watch City are? I am going to heading there this week.

I've only smoked a few, but the Deluxe Crumb, Slices, Persian Slipper, Deep Elem, and the Americano are the ones I have liked the best so far. I've only tried seven of their blends though I do have three more to try. I have posted reviews of the ones I've smoked at TR.com if you want to check them out.

Haha no Bogie in my pipe today, but I do believe I met freestoke's doppelganger out there today...


A gent in his mid 60s, beautiful large bowled Peterson military mount hanging from his mouth and drilling crisp iron shots all over the range. Turns out that they were the group playing behind ours so the pipes in our mouths made for instant conversation makers. He was really funny, and was smoking Carter Hall what else? He said he liked to smoke a pipe @ Downriver because it brought him luck from the Bing gods (Bing Crosby regularly enjoyed playing this course).

The Bing gods weren't looking so happily down on me. Had a decent front (46) but had the typical Brandon break down on the back and shot a 51! Luckily I pared the wholes the other guys didn't and was able to bogey 3 that the others didn't so at least I contributed to the score card (we were playing a best all round, 4 scores had to be recorded 4 players). We got second with a group score of 75, which means we got all our green fees back plus a few extra bills to spend at the 19th Hole.

Here is a pic of Bing and Bob playing downriver:
