What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Tobias Lutz]

I'll kick it off in our new home:

I'm about to fire up some original Middleton Walnut in my Zurg Glass Sipper cob.

[Tony78]

In response to having a proper sub forum, I'm having a proper English bit of Stonehaven in a Dunhull.

One suggestion: let's keep the what did you smoke to a single thread. Last time we had morning, afternoon, night and possibly lunar phase delineations for the what did you smoke threads. Keep it simple :-)

I'm with this idea 100%. If the cigar side can pull it off, so can we. I think it encourages more banter as well.

Totally agree.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to load a bowl of Hal o' the Wynd in a Ser Jacopo billiard.

I haven't tried very many blends and did a newbie pipe trade with Tony on here and got a lot of different blends to try, one of which was this.

I will say, this is my 2nd bowl of the 1Q and I know why it is so popular. I love it. I already have several ounces on the way in an online purchase (along with a couple more pipes and several more different tobaccos). :)

I decided to smoke something I have never smoked before, so I popped open a five year old tin of McClleland's Black Parrot. It is a broken flake Vaper with Virginias so sweet I suspect there is a sugar water casing involved and a good peppery feeling on the tongue from the perique.

[JimInks]

There is a match for Amphora Red, but have you heard of any plans for a match for the brown? That would be more to my taste.

Sutliff had been unable to get Amphora Brown to make a match. I had tried to get them to do it. But I had a friend go on Christmas vacation and he picked up several pouches for himself and me. It was my intention to give one to their blender, Carl McAllister, so he could make a match. Unfortunately, the week I got the pouches was the week he announced his retirement, and as Sutliff is in no hurry to replace him, the idea is dead. If I knew what I was doing, I'd try it.

Some homemade twist in a cob. This batch has dark air, VA, cigar scraps, cavendish, and imzir. It's not real tasty after 2 weeks, but a darn site better than when it was fresh. I think I'll let this one sit a couple months and see how it is then.

This is my first bowl but I'm a fan. It's a little sweet from the VA, smooth and a little spice from the Perique. I just have a sample someone sent me but think it would be a good investment.

Part way through this bowl of McClelland Somerled in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin.

[Cool Breeze]

About halfway through a bowl of McClelland 5100 Red Cake.
I'm a bit underwhelmed at the moment. I keep hearing about how sweet it is, but I'm not tasting it.

I think I'll order a couple more ounces (I only have 2) and stick it in a pint jar and forget about it for a year or so. Maybe it will gain that sweetness others mention.

It's not bad, just not what I expected.

Jim, do you like the Edward G. Robinson better than Molto Dolce? Or Molto Dolce better than Edward G. Robinson?

I'm staring at a tin of each and trying to decide which to open next. :confused:

I like the EGR better. But that's just my personal taste. I prefer a mild aro much more often than I do a full blown one. Aros are more change of pace smokes for me as I prefer straight Virginias, VaPers, and VaBurs. Molto Dulce is very good, but EGR hits the right spot for me.
