McClelland Top Hat in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and saddle stem. Running low on this blend now.
OK.
So, last night at the "debate" I was smoking Drama Reserve. This little weed in a polyester suit with a name tag keeps telling me that I can't smoke at the podium. I told him to chill, and I would be done quickly as I only had one plank in my platform: Everyone Gets Bacon.
Well, the little weed wouldn't stop whining, so I switched to Full Virginia Flake and really started to fog the place up whilst slamming shots of VO.
Like I said, My platform had but one plank: Everyone Gets Bacon, but they sure weren't gonna let me say it. Especially Donny. He interrupted me every time I even thought about opening my mouth.
So I had a few more shots.
Then I went home and had more shots and a bowl of Homborger Veermaster in a MM cob with a forever stem. Then, a few more shots.
I woke up this morning hung over, but a bowl of St James Flake in a Falcon during my morning commute up the mountain to work helped a lot.
Just finishing this bowl of Sergeant Miller’s Inker’s Mixture in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted Comoy's Silver Cloud 624 sitter.
Peacehaven in a 2014 smooth quarter bend Basil Meadows horn with a cumberland stem and p-lip.
Engine #99 in the Country gent with lucite stem. This pipe is getting more and more loved as I'm finding the lat blends smoking good in it.
John Barrett’s Burley Blend in a smooth slight bend 2015 John Barrett long shank poker.
Straight Cut Plug Burley in an undated (1970s?) unbranded straight paneled sandblasted Tanshell Dunhill second.

C&D Habana Daydream in a WDC Wellington Jumbo
2012 Anniversary Kake in a 2014 John Barrett smooth short shank slight bend olive wood poker.
Most pipe smokers (not us geeks) smoke one brand and one brand only. They'll get a can of Captain Black for example, and smoke that exclusively, and then when that can is empty, they get another can.Quote:

Smoking some homemade flake in a Nordling Rustic. This flake is from last summer, one of my early forays into flake fab. It started out as some topped VA that our friend @Tobias Lutz sent me, plus some additional VA and burley plus some of my own flavoring. It's okay, but like I say, one of my early concoctions.
As an aside... we're in the process of getting the floors redone on the main floor of our house - replacing cheap contractor carpet with some nice hardwood (stranded bamboo - harder than diamond). So we have to move furniture back and forth like a giant thumb puzzle while the flooring guy works in different sections. The other day I had to empty my tobacco cabinet which held about 40 jars of various sizes, each with a different blend, including many I had forgotten about, and most with an inch or less in the bottom. So I'm concentrating on using up the remnants, including the flake I'm smoking right now.
I haven't really thought about that, but I reckon it makes sense.Quote:

Escudo in a cob for me tonight.
Haven't decided yet if it will be my only bowl of the evening or not.
Dunhill My Mixture BB1938 in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank. Have enough for about three bowls.
Listing this early so I can concentrate on work for a while: Skipper’s Flake in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band. Have enough left for a bowl or so.
Listing this early: Tilbury in a three quarter bend 1983 Jobey Danski 2 straight grain freehand rough top sitter.
MacBaren Navy Flake in a 1981 Ascorti Black Billiard Business with a military bit.
Some 1982 Deerstalker in a Dr. Grabow straight, smooth Patriot.
Thanks again, @NeverBend
Sounds like you had drama in reserve.Quote:

Troost Aromatic Cavendish in a MM Legend w/ lucite stem. I like this, it's similar to Virginia #1, but the cavendish adds a little extra sweetness, burns very nice.
Continuing the gentle transition of cigar to pipe with GH Dark Plug Unscented. Sliced razor thin and folded into a wide Posella.

I've been too lazy to clean my pipes the last few days, but haven't been willing to go without a smoke, so today has been cobs, and the Falcon.
I had PA in a cob this morning after breakfast, out on the porch. Then a bowl of Firedance in a cob on the porch in the late morning. Lastly, a bowl of St James Flake in a Falcon as I did the workday commute up the mountain this early afternoon.
