What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pipe Smoker]

Brown Bogie in a pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock.

I've never tried it before. A friend from my local shop brought me a sample yesterday.
It's pretty good. Pretty good nic hit for sure.

What kind of tobacco is Brown Bogie? Cigar-like?

Puffing Escudo, and expecting a shipment from SmokingPipes before the day is out. It'll include a tin of F&T Blackjack, which I haven't smoked for several years.

What kind of tobacco is Brown Bogie? Cigar-like?

I didn't really think it was cigar like in flavor, but in mouth feel, yes it is similar. Very robust and bold tasting.
It is a mixture of fire cured burley and Virginias.
It comes in a rope, but it is a rather thin rope, not like the SG Brown No. 4.

It is strong in the nicotine department, but it is manageable. Nothing to be afraid of if you're an experienced smoker.
Wouldn't really recommend it to someone new to smoking.

Finishing up a bowl of GL Pease Embarcadero.
Think I'll go back to a favorite for the next bowl. McClelland Red and Black in a bent Savinelli Series III.

Thanks again for the Embarcadero sample you sent, now you've reminded me of it. I've been smoking in once in a while on very hot days when I still feel like a pipe, and it really hits the spot.

Glad you like it. I was iffy at first, but its growing on me. To the point I'll probably order another tin.

I am currently smoking my last bowl of the night (probably).

Now puffing Fribourg & Treyer Blackjack that I just received in a SmokingPipes order. I use to smoke this stuff years ago, but it fell off my radar screen. SmokingPipes says that it's a red Virginia, but strawberry blonde is closer to the mark. Its tin note is hay-like. And yes, I know what hay smells like. I spent many hours playing in the haylofts of my dad and uncle when I was a kid. And even doing a little work -- breaking bales, and forking hay down to the stanchion.

This is a very fine tobacco. Mostly rubbed out, no topping, and nothing but sweet Virginia in that tin. And nobody is going to complain that it needs drying time -- it's ready to go right out of the tin.

Having some Firestorm in my Peterson Shamrock.

G&H Rum Flake alongside a few morsels of Bleu d'Auvergne and a splash of E&J brandy.
Most enjoyable smoke in a very long time.
