What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

So far this blend reminds me of cigarettes minus the taste of burning paper.

I loved the stuff but told myself "NO" to a box purchase since I'm on a budget.... Wish I had something to trade ya for some to lighten your, ahem, "investment" in said blend ;)

Haha! Yes, my 'investment' indeed :D
I haven't given up on it quite yet. Next time I try it, I'll rub it out to a ribbon and leave it more moist. Maybe that will perk it up. Ought to at least carry the Va sweetness (if there is any to be carried) a little better.

my favorite way to smoke it was to musketball it in a country gent, with enough moisture to musketball without it breaking all apart. Since it's mostly bright, I didn't get any kind of deep, earthy fruitiness I expect from the reds and etc. sugary, a bit acidic, and a touch cigarette like when not sipped.

If you do give up, I've got some mcclelland stuff that I have given up on if you like McC =P

Not feeling adventurous nor open minded tonight. I just want something good so it's going to be St James Flake in a Barling 5574 (pipe courtesy of Neverbend... wherever he is)

McClelland Frog Morton with some meat pizza and two points of Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout.
This is a blissful evening.

Ya, me too. I wonder what the deal is. I even tried the phone to no avail.

This evening I am having a bowl of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in my extra large Savinelli 606.:piper: I got several tins of this tobacco that was on backorder and this is my second bowl. I really enjoyed my first bowl and this second is even better.:yes!: After smoking my first bowl of "Strong Kentucky" my wife surprised me telling me how good it smelled; I asked her "are you sure" and she replied absolutely.:shocked: I will say no more. I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" and life is good!:beerchug:

Last night I light up some Fire Storm. Great blend. Sweet and spicy. First pipe I had in months.

Puffing Dunhill Flake. This stuff is so tasty -- nothing fancy, just straight-ahead excellent tobacco.
