What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Okay,,,Today is FMC in a Swiss BBK

Now he’s gone and lost his britches again!

Puffing a new-to-me tobacco: Solani 660, Silver Flake (AKA Silver Label). SmokingPipes says of it:

“Solani Silver Label is a medium to full flake made from ripe red Virginia and spicy, dark-fired Kentucky.”

My initial impression is quite positive — fairly mild, tasty, and quite different from any of my other tobaccos. Flake? It’s damned near fully rubbed out — OK by me though. Dry out of a new tin, it lights and burns easily. Usually available at SmokingPipes.

Silver Flake comes only in rectangular 100g tins. Those don’t seal at all, so I put it into a Weck 742 Mold canning jar, which it filled almost completely.

BTW – I really like the Weck “Mold” jars for tobacco. They’re wide at the top, making it easy to get tobacco in and out. I use the Weck 741 Mold jars for tobacco from 50g tins.

Puffing my new tobacco, Solani 660, Silver Flake, again, now in my Radice Rhodesian. 660 has an enjoyable spicy taste, and no bad habits.

Replay. Yes, I like it better without the cav. Probably mental but the sweet is sweeter and the pepper is pepperier imo.

Puffing Solani 660, Silver Flake, in my old Kirsten. Very flavorful, and a bit zippy — just right.

And looking forward to lunch, which will feature a smash burger with garlic dill pickles, raw onion, mustard, and mayo. I make GOOD smash burgers!

I'll take your word for it on that since I don't know what one is and don't feel like Googling it.

MOAR debullseyed Bullseye flake. Maybe this time I'll try it with a Honey Brown lager since wine is for evenings IMO. I was saving the bullseyes since I have an aversion to throwing good tobacco away. But then I tried crumbling a couple of them up and dropping them on top of the charge before a relight. They add nothing. Nothing that I care about anyway. Now I just give them a fling. They remind me of the core in the center of a roll of paper; looks useful but really isn't.

Irish X in a meer rounded out a mellow Saturday p.m. I now have about twice as much hair on my chest; hope Mrs. Bruck doesn't mind
