What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pipe Smoker]

Actually I munch on dry coffee beans from time to time. They're good. Started with those chocolate covered espresso beans and got to liking just the bean without the chocolate.

GL Pease Gaslight, cube cut into a grubby, old cob. I like lat blends in cobs; seems to take the edge off the latakia and lets the other flavors come thru.

Some years ago I tried mixing some fresh coffee grounds into my pipe tobacco to see if I could get some coffee flavor. It was a "fail" though – no coffee flavor. At least not with the amount of coffee I used.

[JimInks]

Gawith Kendal Toffee in a cob.
It's an okay Virginia and the topping didn't come through too much in the smoke. The shag cut does give it a tendency to burn hot if you are not mindful.

[JimInks]

Bryan's Shelf Blend in a great little Kaywoodie Drinkless 7785. I'm pretty sure this pipe is from the 30s. It was well cared for, and has a replacement push stem.
The blend is developing into a great Vaper, and the pipe smokes wonderfully. Very happy.

Interesting experiment, but I'm surprised it was smokeable at all. Coffee beans have some oil in them, and burning oil is nasty.

[Lostmason]

Dang man, why all the junk?

BIL is a freakin hoarder.Next week we will be loading motorcycles that haven't run in over
ten years.And there are three trucks to move that need to go over the scales,IMHO.
And luckily he's not planning on taking all fifteen washers and dryers that are gathering
wasps.But I can't complain too much,it's my job and at least it pays the bills.

My wife has a half brother like that in OKC. He buys new clothes rather than washing the others. Piles of friggin' clothes and crap stacked to the ceiling. He has 2 degrees so he's not stupid, but I have no idea where his mind is. He used to drive over and stay with us, but he was harder than a bad girlfriend to get rid of. He had plenty of money. I finally had to put my foot down and tell my wife that he wasn't welcome anymore. Just a strange cat that gave me the creeps....

DUDE ! (yeah,I'm an old guy) I once sprayed a house for a family that was like that.Four people,two adults and two teens,the laundry
room was piled to the ceiling.Have no idea if they owned a washer and/or dryer.Stackes of new clothing on their beds.There was new
clothing that still had tags piled in the garage.How can people be so wasteful?I sprayed their neighbors house not long after and all
they could say was,"if you can get rid of their roaches,our spiders don't stand a chance".

[Bruck]

Cool. How did you press it?

Here's a description of the process:

http://www.cigarbum.com/forum/the-do-it-yourselfer-discussion/cigar-leaf-flake-4658.html

And the components of this flake were: mostly cigar scraps, some cigar cavendish, imzur, latakia, Tobias' Surprise, and 2 leaves of Dark Fire. Cased w/ DW only.

Tobias' Surprise is a whisky/VA/cavendish blend that our friend Tobias Lutz concocted a couple of years ago. It's pretty good by itself, but I've found that it makes an excellent flavor component for my pressed flakes.

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink on this very hot and extra humid day. Watching the Red Sox-Royals game. Vin Scully is on the XM at 10:10 EST.

[Bruck]

If that's the one you sent me, it was good......

Pretty sure it's the same stuff I sent you. Helps to dry it out. I actually had to put a dessicant pak in it overnight to get it down to the right RH. Very humid here in VA in the summer - tobacco doesn't "air dry," even indoors.
