What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Emperor Zurg]

I agree completely on the ODF. I went with a bulk sample of the ready rubbed to try it and will be adding a tin or two of the flake on my next order. Just a few bowls leads me to believe it will be a favorite of mine.

Fyi, you can (or could anyway, idk if you still can) buy the flake by the box. I think I got mine at Smokingpipes

I'm not sure yet if I want a box strictly based on how often I smoke. I only smoke 3-4 times a week most weeks, so a 1lb box would last the better part of a year if I smoked that and only that.

But yes, smoking pipes has ODF and a few other MacBaren flakes for $58 and some change per box.

In an aromatic mood this morning, so I'm out on the balcony, reading about the intricacies of Tort law, and smoking a bowl of Sail Green, which is a Latakia aromatic.
Not too bad.

[Pipe Smoker]

Puffing F&T Cut Virginia Plug in my newish Luciano squat bulldog. It's my least expensive conventional briar, but it's rapidly becoming my favorite.

[Cool Breeze]

OK, got that aromatic bug out of the way. Should be good for another month or so on that.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. McClelland No. 24 Virginia in a Savinelli billiard.

Three hour drive each way over the mountains for a two hour meeting. What to do?

Load the pipes, of course. Westbound I crammed an inordinate amount of brown bogie into my Tsuge pot. Eastbound an even larger bowl of Wessex Burley in a pipe carved for me by a Piper in England.

I was in the mood for a really mellow, yet tasty, tobacco. As always in that situation, I reached for Solani 763, White & Black. I love this stuff!

Next: off to Kaiserhof, my favorite San Diego restaurant, then my pistol range. I always shoot best after a fill of German food and a tall Stiegl Pilsner.

I'm smoking nostalgic; having a bowl of Lane BL/WB in a Dr. Grabow Viscount billiard (minus the condenser gadget). I still enjoy this pleasant tobacco.

[Cool Breeze]

Haven't had any Full Virginia Flake in a few weeks, so I cracked open a new tin today. Smoking it in my new (to me) Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar Canadian.
It was one of my very first favorites, and has lost none of its appeal to me. It always hits the spot.

Last night was our first evening of the season around the fire pit.
Had a nice bowl of my own English plug.
It was a great evening.
