Hearth & Home Chestnut in a Grabow
Enjoying a bowl of mcclelland 620 mocha black as I type. Great flavor but having alot of trouble keeping I lit. To damp maybe? Great flavor though.
McClelland St James Woods in a Peterson 314.
I adore my little Peterson, but frankly they are a pain in the @ss to clean. I think that deters me from using it as much as I'd like to.
Another bowl of Troost Special Cavendish. Review to follow shortly!
Almost finished smoking Sutliff #15 Base Cavendish in a 2013 medium bend Spillproof corndog cob.
I lit this bad boy up before I started posting (@10:21 pm) and haven't stopped so I'm cruising past 2-1/2 hrs. (laptop says 12:53am) and it's still got a little life yet.Quote:

About to smoke Royal Yacht in a 1970s smooth GBD 9665 slight bend with a rough top flat bottom sitter. Almost done with the tin.
Time for a short smoke: Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a 2013 MM straight Legend.
VIP Match in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer.
A sample of Christmas Cheer 2012 in a MM Legend straight.
Attachment 1126
Some Dunhill Light Flake in a Badger and Blade 2014 LE Tinsky squat Rhobulldog :)
Earlier, it was Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem. Now, it's Stonehaven in a 2002 medium bend smooth Rinaldo EGEA 03 Silver line spigot 10. I've enough for one more bowl.
2014 Patchface (#1008A) in an early 1970s Caminetto Business #104 saddle billiard.
Not bitter cold but raining so the cold cuts through you. Hard to type in this weather but at least it's not snow!
Newminster Navy Flake in the James Upshall (as posted last night) went out at 1:16 am.
Here here! Excellent tribute to Mr. Hansen and may we all live so long and be so remembered.Quote:

Haha same! The signature on mine has faded significantly though from oils and such.Quote:

Accountant's Mixture in a rusticated Savinelli Pot.
2014 Mixture #1007A (jarred 9-23-14) in a 1986 Ser Jacopo R1 Maxima canadian.
Time in the jar seems to have really helped this one, off to a nice start.
The Huntington River has reappeared in front of my house. Last year it swelled to cover the entire street about 4" deep and swept away a caravan of trash cans and such but best was a large chrome (diamond hatched) truck toolbox that made it to the delta (Jericho Turnpike). Hello Mother Nature.
Now smoking Peretti’s #333 in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.
Sipping on some Milan Colonial Pastime in a 1/4 bent, rusticated Dr. G Royalton :pipe:
H&H Virginia Spice in a no name briar I picked up at a flea market. No clue who made the pipe but it is one of my best smokers. Love it.
This is my first bowl of this tobacco and I'm enjoying it very much. I'll have a couple more bowls of it to get a better idea and post a review.
A bottom layer of CAO black and top layer of Bald Headed Teacher (last of the BHT) in cob while charging batteries and changing tires.

Had half a bowl of Cornell & Diehl Black Gold Maple. Again pretty good flavor but troubles keeping lit. Think I'm going to have to start let I dry a bit before loading.
Watch City Old Dominion in a 1988 smooth full bend Peterson System Standard XL 315. Have enough left for one small bowl.
Tnx for posting - that scene looks so much like home I can smell it :)Quote:

One of the commercial blends in it is H&H Berry Nice, which is an ultra-fruity goooper that a co-worker gave me a small sample of (I can't understand the guy - he's way bigger, older, and tougher than me - maybe he's trying to tell me something). I dang near puked from trying to smoke it straight, but a minute amount of it buried under layers of VA, burley, latakia, and perique gives the whole thing a nice, subtly sweet taste.
2014 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a 1961 Barling #7574 smooth canadian.
An encompassing mist has settled ove the still snow covered ground. Very much a holiday feeling but I'm ready to move on.
That was me last weekend!Quote:

Almost finished smoking Watch City Christmas Past 2014 in a 1978 smooth pointy bottom three quarter bend Sir Brent, shaped like a check mark.
Dunhill Nightcap in a MM legend.
Louisiana Red in a straight Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420.
Blackhouse in a Grabow Omega. Delicious blend.
Second bowl of Nightcap in the same MM Legend with a bottle of Angry Orchard Crisp Apple out on the deck on a sunny 87 degree afternoon. A little early in the year to be this warm.
Time for a short smoke: Sutliff Ambrosia in a 2013 slight bend red stone Rekamepip Rockcob poker.
Escudo Navy De Luxe in a Grabow rusticated pot
Had some Sherlock's Choice in my African Meer on the ride home. :pipe:
The Smoker Woodlands in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog.
Been working outside all day, sitting down now with a bowl of Odyssey in a cob and a tall glass of Cutty Sark and coke with a splash of club soda...its the only way to get this awful shit down.
Guess you have never had Old Smuggler :upset:Quote:
