What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Solani 656, ABF, is unflavored, but I taste chocolate notes in it none the less.

I dry it too. In fact, I dry everything. If I don't dry tobacco the flavor comes across as steamy and muted IMO. I also prefer this blend roughly rubbed out or cube cut. Seems it doesn't have enough surface area to really shine if I smoke it fold n stuffed. And no, if it wasn't called 'chocolate flake' I'd never peg the topping as chocolate. It's just a very nice tobacco with a mysterious, "deeper" flavor to me. I also love the sour notes in the first part of the bowl... which you don't get as much of if you don't break it up a little.

While working on the roof, I indulged in C'est Le Vie in a Rolo pocket pipe.Had anther on the porch.
Followed with Oriental Blend in my Swiss BBK while reading.

I've got a jar of that somewhere!
When I got it, it was to much nicotine for me.
I need to dig it out sometime and give it another go!

Right now I'm smoking G&H Louisiana Perique Flake in a Comoy's Tawny Saddle straight billiard.

When I first got it, it was too lakelandy for me. This was one I stored for a year in a mason jar with he lid disk inverted.

You think Rum Flake is more potent than Louisiana Flake? I thought they were about the same.

re-visited the FMC, this time in my Friar straight billard. I'm thinking I could smoke alot of this !

No, I think they should be about the same. I had just forgotten I had a jar of Rum Flake in the cellar! I've come to terms with Louisiana Flake and Bob's Chocolate, so I may have to dig around and find that jar of Rum Flake. It should have a year or two on it now.

You owe it to yourself to try Sam Gawith Chocolate Flake as well. Good stuff.

(When you really think about it, isn't that a ridiculous statement: 'owe it to yourself' ? How inane.)

I've added it to my list!

Yes, but I find I enjoy the inane parts of our language. One that always gets me is "a whole nother."

Had some GL Pease Quiet Nights in a Savinelli Punto Oro.
