What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pipe Smoker]

Puffing a fill of Dunhill DLNR from a just-opened tin. And yes it has "DE LUXE NAVY ROLLS" on the tin label, rather than just "NAVY ROLLS", as new tins have. I hope that the tobacco in the new tins hasn't been modified. Dunno why they changed the name -- maybe some regulatory busybody demanded it.

Embarcadero Part II, handled the overnight DGT very well. I think it improved with it actually. Good stuff.

You know, when I bought it I was sorely disappointed. P&C or Smokingpipes - can't remember which - had a sale on the Savinelli Elegance series; regular price of $70 bucks marked down to 45 or 50 or something like that. I'd wanted a Sav for a while anyway so I looked at the 313 prince and saw 'no filter', just a slight bend and what looked like rather thick walls. I clicked 'buy'. I had no idea at the time that a prince is usually a pretty small pipe and I never bothered to look at the bowl size for some reason. It showed up and I thought 'damn! I just bought a lady's pipe!' Figured they should have called the shape a 'Princess' rather than a Prince.

F-fwd to now and it's my go-to pipe for all the strong blends. I smoke alone so it doesn't matter if I look like a homo with it. On the rare event I smoke in company I'll be sure to bring something manly like the big ol' MM General... although that one does have a somewhat pink Forever stem...

They're great for a strong smoke or for a quick smoke......

A bowl of leftovers in this little homemade monstrosity

Is that a massive bowl or do you have tiny hands?

[bluenoser]

It's a pretty big bowl in my tiny hands. The chamber's 7/8" wide and about 1" 3/4 deep. Real light weight so a good one for a long smoke. Was my second attempt at pipe making, thin walls so have to keep it slow or she heats up pretty bad.

That's freekin' Trumps hands! I know they are, as I seen them on TV.....

Having a bowl of Dan Tobacco Sweet Vanilla Honeydew in a Dr. G Omega. I don't normally smoke aromatics but couldn't pass up @Tobias Lutz 's fire sale, which this was a part of. It's actually not too bad - nice Virginia flavor, not too sweet, not biting, not gooping, staying lit, we could be friends

It does seem that @Tobias Lutz could be easily befriended. A fine specimen of the human race for sure.....

Oh, I already consider Tobias a friend and brother (although I've yet to meet him in person) - I was talking about the tobacco

Errrr......ahhhhh.....ummmmm.....well, while we're putting our cards on the table, he got a little goopy with me. Also, I'm not sayin' he bit, but he nibbled a bit hard on my arm for my needs at the time. I went and found a juice box, some crayons with a coloring book and a therapy rooster to get through it. I know he wasn't trying to be mean, but at times he seems rather aggressive.....
