What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

2014 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Sliced in a 1983 Ser Jacopo Granato stout billiard with a gold/silver band.

On the porch, it's in the 40s with a brisk breeze but the sun is beautiful and life remains good.

I've found that G&H remains the closest in flavor and smoking profile to what I remember from the 1980s of the current brands that I've tried. I can compare my 2014 G&H with a few inches of a 30yo+ G&H Happy Brown Boogie pigtail that I still have. You smoked G&H for flavor and impact and not subtlety and that remains the case. Perhaps it's the age but the old pigtail seems to be lower in vitamin K than the Dark Sliced (smoking now) or the Dark Flake unscented.

2 Daughters VIP in a late '70s full bend straight grain rough top Savinelli Autograph 6 sitter with a cumberland stem. This finishes the tin. I sure enjoyed it.

Yesterday, I smoked Royal Yacht all day, except for a bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed match after dinner in a Roma Lovat which my grandson gave me in October. The Roma is finally broken in well, and the nasty taste from the stain that was in the bowl is gone. Now it smokes well. A good cake coves a multitude of sins.

I remember you posting about that awhile back. Glad it finally shaped up for you. And I'm sure your grandson will be happy to see you getting use out of it.

Load that Legend up with Happy Bogie and PA and we'll start calling you 'freestoke'
Of course first we'd have to bury you in snow...

Hopefully, when he melts out in spring, they will have discovered a way to revive him. At least he'll still be fresh.

We're getting some real good melting! Lots of sun really does the trick. Smoking Erinmore Flake today, one cob after another. Heading for the afternoon Vitamin B supplement, Genesse beer. beerchug.gif

Troost Aromatic Match in a slight bend black sandblasted Lorenzo Elba Imperia 8636 with an amber colored acrylic stem. Have enough for one more bowl. Then I'll work on finishing up what I have of the original.
