What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

Now smoking the last of my stash of 4Noggins Weybridge in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315 with a black vulcanite stem, nickel band and p-lip.

About half way through this bowl of Peretti’s Cuban Mixture in an old grain relief, partly smooth full bend "V" shape bowl Ben Wade Prominence freehand with the letter A and the numeral 2 in circles, with a black vulcanite ferrule and stem.

Now far from finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.

Sav half bend Alligator full of GH&Co Louisiana Flake.

This pipe usually isn't on flake duty. It's doing this blend no favors right now....haha

Maybe it's a Savinelli thing. I tried a bowl of Louisana Flake in my little Sav 313 a while back... just awful. Pepper and perfume was all I got. I struggled with it for a while and finally gave up and dumped it out. In the little pipe's defense, the LF was more wet than I usually smoke it and somewhat rubbed out whereas I prefer this one as stuffed flake.

Had a bowl of Nightcap in a small Peterson yesterday. It's been a while since I smoked this baccy which made it taste all the better.

Just finished smoking MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with an amber colored stem. A bottle of Mist Twst is my drink.

The main issue with mine I think is the chamber diameter...something about this pipe just hates flakes. Rubbed out they fare better, but I'm a flake stuffer ususlly.

Also I've been smoking a lot of VA and burley blends lately....I think my taste buds are tired of them. I just lit up a small bowl of Grasmere flake on lunch, and it even tasted a bit bland....when Lakeland snot starts tasting meh, you know you're in trouble.

Time to up the latakia I'm rekkon

That's true. Lakeland ought to taste revolting like it normally does.

Either that or time to take a break. I find when it all starts tasting the same I've overdone it and need to take a week off. That first bowl afterwards just tastes so good

Some Peterson's Connoisseurs Choice in a bent beater, and some Gatlinburlier Valley Virginia in a 1986 Italian pipe.....

I've been smoking all day, but every time I post, I get an error message. Gonna take a couple days off here and see if the problem straightens out. This happens on a semi-regular basis and I hope somebody will look into it.
