What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Enjoying a nice "Christmas is over, back home now, taking a few days off of work, can finally relax" bowl of Tewksbury Celtic Blend :)

I'm smoking my group 2 Dunhill Liverpool today, alternating two Solani tobaccos: 633, Virginia with Perique, and 656, Aged Burley Flake.

The 633 is crisp and citrusy, while the 656 is rich and meaty. Love 'em both.

what do you think of the Virginia flakes you've tried?

-edit-

Almost forgot: last night it was a partial, bottom-of-the-jar load of Sam Gawith, Chocolate Flake with a little MacBaren Vanilla Cream Flake to make up the difference. Amazingly enough my non-discerning palate could pick up elements of both blends. Pretty tasty.

I was quite content with my cobs, but he thought I needed a briar (who am I to argue). I haven't really smoked anything that I haven't liked yet. I enjoy the obvious differences in all of the pipe tobaccos, so much more variety of flavor than with the cigars. My palette isn't good at figuring out the flavors but I can definitely tell that they are different.

Having a cobful of McClelland 2013 Christmas Blend, from our friend @Tobias Lutz . It doesn't taste "Christmas-ey," not sure it's supposed to. It's just a really nice VA flake.

Davidoff Scottish tonight in the briar.

This 'Hobbiest78' sounds like an enabler. He belongs back on this forum! :pipe: :D

Let's just say that he's not a very social guy and decided that this wasn't his thing.

Oh, as long as I'm here, rounding out the night with some CAO Black in the MM cob.
