What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pipe Smoker]

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

The chocolate poked in here and there, but if it weren't called chocolate flake it might be a bit hard to tell. I got that good SG baccy flavor in droves though. I did dry mine for several hours though, so I think that's partly why the chocolate wasn't as prominent. what do you think?

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.

G&H Rum Flake in a MM General with an acrylic stem whilst doing a bit of turkey hunting.
One full bowl smokes off and on all day.

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.

[Emperor Zurg]

I've come to terms with Louisiana Flake and Bob's Chocolate...

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.
