What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Bruck]

Cobful of Carter Hall

Puffing 3 yo F&T Special Brown Flake in my Luciano stout bulldog. Good tobacco! SmokingPipes says that it’s flavored with rum. Could be. Whatever it’s flavored with is tasty. The fragile flakes rub out more easily than any other flake that I know of.

I'm having a cigar to finish the evening, but I had a few bowls today.

I had a bowl of SG Navy Flake, a bowl of Dunhill Ready Rubbed and a bowl out of a catch all jar that gets the remnants when a tin is nearly empty.

Smoking my Caminetto pot with silver spigot mount today. I started with F&T Special Brown Flake, one of my favorite tobaccos, but it was just so-so. Now puffing Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake. It’s going great!

BTW — despite the clowning, this is a very entertaining rendition of “The Orange Blossom Special”:

burned a nice bowl of G&H Louisiana Flake yesterday on a boat trip

Puffing Solani 113, Sweet Mystery, in my Luciano squat bulldog. An aromatic that even I like. A delectable aroma, and it tastes like it smells.

McClelland 2015 Virgina/Perique flake in an unfinished Savinelli series III.
Mighty good.

Burned a MM Diplomat full of Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake today on another boat trip.
Good thing the Diplomat has thick walls, this is one of my first cobs and it's all wallered out from smoking it too fast. Makes for a rather large but shallow, pot type pipe though and the walls are still thick enough to smoke cool.
IMO, a cob isn't the best for smoking a virginia. Seems straight Va is more flavorful in a briar but hey, I'm not bringing a good pipe on a river trip.

I just opened a 2 yo tin of Escudo — now puffing a 2nd fill in my Luciano stout bulldog. I had kind of forgotten just how good this stuff is. Dunhill Navy Rolls is a more regal tobacco, but Escudo has its own appeal — more Perique than Navy Rolls.

Edit: I noticed this $900 pipe in SmokingPipes’ American estates last night:

Not my kind of pipe, but it has the most impressive ring grain that I’ve ever seen.
