What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Puffing Hamborger Veermaster in my Mark Tinsky extreme brandy. This tobacco rewards gentle sipping.

Jolly old st Nick in a stanwell bent bulldog

Popped a 2016 jar of Samuel Gawith Navy Flake.
Smells great! Still smoked a little wet.
Need to dry out the jar a bit.

Pulled the jar of "Stoniversity" our of storage to see how it's doing. Smoking nicely!
If you're not sure what I'm talking about, I made a thread about it a while ago.
Same old meer I've been using. It's a tank!

Burned a small bowl of SG Navy Flake last night. Such a nice blend.
Not sure of the vintage - I could look if I was at home - but there's some age on it sure.
Used a Barling Canadian I got from Neverbend

Good size bowl of SG Navy Flake last night since it's the weekend. Used a no-name Canadian I also got from Neverbend.
Had a tasty milk stout on the side

I just got out my jar of F&T Blackjack. For no good reason, except it was in the back of the cupboard, I haven’t smoked any of this stuff for quite awhile. A straight Virginia, it doesn’t need any drying out. No flavoring added, but it has a definite citrus character.

Smoking my Tinsky brandy today. First fill was The Mallard, now puffing Patriot Flake. Both of these Dan Tobacco offerings are superb Virginias, and similar. Both are grown in tropical regions and press fermented. Similar taste too, but different enough to justify stocking both.

Edit: The press fermentation process sounds similar to that used for perique.

I just opened a 2 yo tin of Wessex Classic Virginia, and put it into a Weck canning jar. I also have a tin of Escudo open. The Escudo is good, but the Wessex is the better vaper IMO. A red Virginia, it’s mellow and savory. Still using my Tinsky brandy to burn the weed.

Bowl of SG, Navy Flake in the Rossi lumberman that did its level best to kill me during break in.
Smokes quite nicely now :pipe:
