Then I had a bowl of Rattray's Hal o the Wynd in a bent Peterson Kildare.
Now I'm having a bowl of Orlik Golden Sliced in a Savinelli Champagne bulldog.

Breaking in a new garage only pipe with some Lane RL-6

Having a bowl of HH Old Dark Fired in a carved RealBriar pipe.
We have recently had to rearrange a lot of stuff in our house. I lost my office (got turned into a bedroom) and had to relocate my pipe stuff.
In moving it all, I found a box of pipes. It is cheap stuff I bought when I first started the piping hobby and I had forgotten about them.
Most are crap and not good smokers, but I found this one in the box. I forgot just how good this thing smokes. It is fantastic. It's the only pipe I have that was made in France, and I think it looks cool too.

Garage-only pipe? Is there such a thing?Quote:

Smoked a bowl of Ennerdale on a walk yesterday. Smoked it in an old grubby cob with a forever stem.
Probably going to go on another walk today. Got some G&H Brown Flake Vanilla (I think) drying out to smoke in my freshly ghosted cob.
Looks like a sitter too. Sitters are great IMO. So practical.Quote:

Having a bowl of C&D Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Savinelli straight billiard (A Roma maybe? I forget the model).
Anyway, this tobacco is great.
It was a limited run of 10k tins. Smokingpipes still has some if anybody wants it.
I had never had it before so I only grabbed 2 tins. After having a couple bowls, I may snag a couple more to put away.
I picked up 5 tins of it. It's not here yet. Figure I'll mason jar one of them and stash the other 4 away to age. What I really want now is some of the Carolina flake without perique so I can compare the two but alas, that one was sold out. Also picked up a little of that Bayou Morning flake to see what that one is all about. Sometimes I like stinky, pungent and strong. Keeps the bugs at bay.Quote:

I should dig it out and see if a couple years has mellowed it any.
Yep. Sometimes I'm just looking to change things up. Sometimes a perique bomb is just the thing. SOMETIMES I'll even smoke burley!Quote:
