Country Doctor match in a MM General
Homemade English blend in a Hickok bulldog
G&H Louisiana Perique Flake in a Grabow Omega.
I'm about halfway through a bowl of Arango Balkan Supreme.
First time I've had it and it is excellent. One of my favorite Latakia blends I've tried so far.
Esoterica Tilsbury in a Hickok bulldog
Old Dark Fired in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band.
Escudo in a barely broken-in Capri Headmaster Churchwarden. Cheap pipe, but I really like it.
D&R Rimboche A.B. in a Grayson's squat bulldog
it is absolutely fascinating to read what you guys smoke and what you smoke it in...
Finished the evening off with a bowl of Dunhill Nightcap in a MM Legend.
I agree.Quote:

Just finished work and this bowl of Chatham Manor in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob. Next is Peretti’s #333 in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant blowfish.
Jim, I have to ask. How many pipes do you have in your regular rotation, and how many more make a cameo appearance from time to time?Quote:

As if Louisiana Flake would be a Turkish blend or heavy on the Latakia and they don't want to confuse anybody.Quote:

When Bengal Slices was introduced (late 1970s) the James Russell sales rep said that it represented the English Colonial period in India. A Latakia / Virginia (thick cut) flake was pretty novel at the time and India grew strains of Virginia but no Latakia. I didn't get the connection until the head of sales explained to me that it was the color of the resulting flake, (somewhat) alternating black and yellow, like that of a bengal tiger.
PipeTobacco.Com (where I get my Louisiana Flake) also refers to it as Louisiana Perique Flake. I don't know the history of the blend but perhaps it was called the longer name at some point before a fellow of erudition, such as yourself, pointed out the repetitive nature of the mixture's name.

Interesting, Pete! I'm smoking some plain ol' RY at the moment, in the CG Forever redux. The sun is OUT!! Attachment 982Quote:

A couple minutes away from smoking Watch City Old Dominion in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315.
Anyone remember David McCarter? I just smoked some Erinmore Flake in a decent sized Pot shape he did for me.
Whoa!! Now that would be some pipe rack. :DQuote:

I remember him. I have a couple of his very early pipes that I bought from him when he was just getting started. I was just looking at his website a couple weeks ago and he has come a long, long way. Gorgeous stuff on there, although I just checked and the site appears to be down now. www.mccarterpipes.comQuote:
