Solani 656 burley in my trusty Kirsten Mariner. Goes well with Nespresso Roma – medium roast arabica-robusta blend coffee. I like to let my pipe go out, then sniff the rich aroma of this tobacco wafting up from the bowl.

Bill,

It may be that time of year because my Louisiana Flake has been lights out good the past 10-12 days.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1950s Barlng's Make Ye Olde Wood #252 Fossil (sandblast), saddle billiard.

Just tried some undried Louisiana Flake, rubbed out and lightly musketballed into a little Savinelli 313.
Awful. Just awful. Atomic pepper bomb and Lakeland perfume was all I could get out of it and for the life of me I couldn't keep it lit... that and it was hammering me with nicotine by the 4th attempted relight. And to think this same blend was so good fold-n-stuffed and much drier in the Grabow Duke a few days ago. I finally gave up and dumped the bowl and now I'm slurping coffee to try and get the taste out of my mouth. I guess I just don't much like wet tobacco.

[JimInks]

MacBaren Modern Virginia Loose Cut in a 1987 Peterson first series Sherlock Holmes full bend with a silver band with a black vulcanite stem and p-lip. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink.

I don't musketball it, but that's not the reason, it must just be the difference in our tastes. I haven't found a way to make this tobacco smoke or taste bad (and I do seem to be immune to light quantity of Lakeland).

Louisiana Flake in the Imperial 2 point, dried, folded n stuffed.

Much better IMO.
The drying really cuts down the Lakeland and the pepper and lets the fruity flavors come through that I was enjoying so much before.
The bowl still starts out pretty peppery but it settles down before too long and becomes very tasty.

I fill/pack pretty loose (and tamp a little tighter as needed). It is a very fruity tobacco :).

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1984 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #306, sandblasted taper billiard. With coffee light.

Just received this pipe today from Smoking Pipes after @SirMotoyoshi alerted me that it was for sale and it was bought in seconds. Than you Andrew!

Big billiard, beautiful balance and easy in the mouth. Even with a loose stuff it took about 7-8 grms of tobacco and I've been smokng it for almost 3 hours with no end in sight.

I rarely smoke flakes in anything other than thick walled smooth pipes that retain a little more heat than rough surface pipes. The retained heat warms the VA flakes, bringing out the sugars and making them smoke sweeter. This pipe has the dimensions to be a flake smoker but the sandblasting disburses the heat slightly faster and that mutes the sweetness and increases the 'nuttiness'. I will smoke more flakes in this one, it's smoking superbly, but I'll stick with the smooths for most of my VA smokes. This pipe might well pair well with Royal Yacht, so that will be next for this bruiser.

I've loaded this pipe to smoke it after a Pinar del Rio Seleccione, let it dry some and see if I like it that way.

Somehow, I got the last 2 fish in the pond transfer, these are a pair of ultra-wary fish but I think that they'll like their new home.

I'm interested to hear your take on it dried. I dry it quite a bit though, usually breaking it into stuffable sticks while it's still moist, then laying those out on a sheet of paper and letting them dry for a few hours (or a half hour in the sun) before dropping a bundle of them into the pipe. It certainly does taste different than it does wet

Hi Nachman,

Haven't tried the Royal Yacht in it yet, but that would be a later evening smoke to be sure. I wrote earlier that this incarnation of RY is quite good, well done.

earlier...
2015 Gawith Hoggarth in a 1950s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood EXEXEL #251, smooth taper billiard with water, no ice.

My favorite shaped pipe of all. I once had 8 of these and they looked very much the same until viewed together where the individual characteristics were apparent. I know the difficulty in replicating shape in handmade pipes, Barling was the master of this to the extent that they numbered them and the look and feel is the same except when seen together. I 'lost' 5 of these and I don't smoke them enough.

[NeverBend]

I'm interested to hear your take on it dried. I dry it quite a bit though, usually breaking it into stuffable sticks while it's still moist, then laying those out on a sheet of paper and letting them dry for a few hours (or a half hour in the sun) before dropping a bundle of them into the pipe. It certainly does taste different than it does wet

Hi Bill,

I don't like it as well dryer. I can say that about all the flakes that I've smoked, I like them somewhat moist and I don't dry them. It takes a little longer to light but for me it's the way to go.

You are affected by the Lakeland essence. GH Best Brown has too much Lakeland for me, but most of theirs don't, so I assume that it's a threshold of tolerance. Most important, for me, is a loose pack at the bottom, especially with large, coarse flakes like Louisiana.

I thought that this would be a good pairing, pipe and tobacco, after my first smoke in this behemoth with GH Louisiana Flake.

Verdict, I liked the Royal Yacht before but I like it better now.

Smoking my homemade HALF and HALF "Burley and Bright". Solani 656 for the burley and Dunhill Flake for the bright. Quite good – a helluva lot better than the stuff that comes in the red, white, and green pouch with its over-the-top topping and ethylene glycol.

Edit – long ago every drugstore in the Midwest carried H&H, PA, etc.

I've often thought of buying a tin to try it... but then you have Sam Gawith Full Va Flake available in bulk and Newminster 400 available in bulk for darn cheap, so I've never pulled the trigger. (Although it seems the latter can stand a bit of age before smoking to take the bite out of it.) How does Dunhill Flake compare to these?

I do enjoy Dunhill Flake when I'm in the mood for a straight VA blend. It is a fine quality flake. It and FVF are my favorites.
I really enjoy the straight VAs when the weather is warm which means I'll be smoking more of them here in the near future.
I think I'm going to buy a couple of tins to stick back. I bet 4-5 years really makes it shine.

(Although it seems the latter can stand a bit of age before smoking to take the bite out of it.) How does Dunhill Flake compare to these?
I've no experience with Newminster 400. I do smoke FVF occasionally, and like it, but get tired of it after a couple of pipefuls. When I open a tin of FVF, I jar it with some humidifier capsules, then smoke one pipeful a day. OTOH, while I do like variety, I could smoke DF all day, everyday, and enjoy it if nothing else was available. It has such a clean, crisp VA flavor. I keep enough stock on hand that my tins are ~2 years old when I open them.

[NeverBend]

So why did you get rid of it? (chuckles)

Ellis Milan and his brother (pardons, forgot his name) were some of the classiest people I've ever had the pleasure to know. Milan Brothers always brings a smile to my face.

The VA flake I'm hitting all the time now is this Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake and the ambient rh has moistened it back to where I like it best. I've smoked much of this 15 month old vacuum bag (that was 300-grm, per my note on bag), will finish it soon and it's been delicious.

with that in mind,

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1984 Ser Jacopo L1 saddle panel. Ice water on a humid, humid day. This pipe has been over 30 years of wonderful service and taste.

Next up..what else?

Story of my life Pete...I have stuff that I either sell or trade away because I want different stuff. Then I end up wishing I had my old stuff back, so I end up selling/trading the new stuff in search of more stuff I used to own.

Hi Brandon,

You're a young man, you can change your ways. Look at me, I sold a Sixten Ivarsson for $60 and I'm here to tell about it! (pipe didn't smoke, just pissed that I didn't know to hold onto it another 30 years when it would have had a couple more zeros on the price).

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1964 Barling #3229, sandblast, saddle apple.

Take this little fella I'm smoking now. Bought it for a reasonable price (~$45). First few smokes were weak to mediocre but it's doing fine with this tobacco. The Lat mixtures I tried it with were a bad pairing. If he's going to smoke this way, I'll keep it, unless of course I need some cash to buy something else (grins).

FWIW, I've never had a tobacco pair so well with coffee; hot, iced, sweetened, black or with cream, it doesn't seem to matter. It's just... good. Odd thing is, I don't like this blend rubbed out - I find it too peppery and harsh and hard to keep lit. That and it tends to break up into splinters.
