Peterson Irish Oak in a sandblast Savinelli Bing's Favorite.
Puffing Solani 633, Virginia with Perique, with decent age on it. Another fine example of Herr Will's blending skill. This stuff is soooo tasty.
Last week,I was gifted a sample of 1970's Borkum Riff.
Well this is the first pipe I've loaded in just over a week,
so I thought I'ld give it a try.Not sure what blend it started
out as,whiskey,bourbon,or rum but the toppings seem to have
evaporated.It was a very dry,slightly peppery burly forward
taste. Couldn't pick out and citrusy or smoky virginias.Seems
to be it would make a nice filler for an overly sweet aromatic.
I used my Middletonian for this smoke and chased
it with coffee.
Puffing F&T Blackjack. This light red Virginia is sure purty in the jar. And in my pipe. It's one of those days when every tobacco I smoke is delicious. Compensation for those days when nothing tastes quite right.
I've had several days that nothing tasted right.That's when I take a break and kind of
let things reset.Unfortunately I've also been known to do that with food,really pisses
off the Mrs when all I want is buttered bread and milk for days at a time.But I always
make up for it,I can put away 5 pounds of meatloaf and a pint of ice cream as a
snack.
At present I'm smoking EGR in my Swiss BBK and still drinking coffee.
Dang dogs woke me up at 5:30am, nothing to do but smoke.
So starting with EGR in my 1950's Monterrey.
Had a real sweet tooth today for some reason so today is a bowl of C&D Dark chocolate. This is smoked in a MM Ozark Hardwood my wife bought me when I first started with the pipe.
It is super moist, to the point of staining my fingers when loading the pipe. Its either the topping / casing or straight pg. Either way it burns surprisingly well and leaves a nice, creamy chocolate taste. No bite either, even if I puff to the point it crackles like a camp fire.
I would not smoke this all the time but it certainly filled the role of something sweet today.
Smoking the crumbs and shake left in a tin of Orlik DSK.
Burning them up in a MM Pride with forever stem while loading up the woodshed for the coming winter.
Had a bowl of Troost with a topping of Solani ABF crumbs. Smoked it in an "Albert John" billiard.
This morning was Motzek Strang Cut in a MM Cob and coffee with Whisper Creek Tennessee Sippin' Cream.
This evening is H&H Classic Burley Kake in a smooth bent Dr. G and pour of Defiant Whiskey.
