Prince Albert in an MM pride with my morning coffee. I'm off today so I get to enjoy a full bowl with absolutely no rush.
Gonna go get my auto racing licence in a couple of hours. It's a good day today despite the sucky weather...
This sounds exciting! Good luck & Congrats!Quote:

I will be taking:
Old Joe Krantz, Mississippi Mud, Abingdon, Star Of The East, Storm Front, FVF, St. James, Kendal Cream, Grousemoor, Grasmere Flake, Kendal Flake, SG Navy, Luxury Bullseye, Orlik Golden, Red Rap, Nightcap, Devil's Holiday, CH/PA, 5 O'clock shadow, and who knows what unopened tins...
My cellar will be a lot lighter when I get home, but some pipes with friends makes it all worth it! :pipe:
This sounds like it'll be a exciting blast!Quote:

GLP Piccadilly this morning, a blend of Virginia, Latakia and Perique. It tasted good in the cool weather.

Sounds Wunnerful but what pipes will they be smoked in? We need a pipe by bowl description of the action.Quote:

I just received a trial size ($1.73 for 1 oz) of this tobacco from Pipes & Cigars. Very dry. I may review it later.
2015 Peter Stokkebye #701 Virginia in a 1987 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #107 rusticated taper billiard.
Just received this today and it smokes very close to AJ's VaPer without any Perique.
2015 Gawith Hoggarth Glengarry Flake in a 1961 Barling's Make #5179 smooth sadddle billiard.
Snow's starting and it's bitter cold out here but this tobacco has started nicely.
Almost finished smoking this bowl of SWRA in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front.
MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl. I posted my review of this for anyone who is interested int he review section.
Louisiana Red in a straight Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420.
McClelland 2020 Matured Cake in a fireside churchwarden
Back to smoking Royal Yacht.
2015 Gawith Hoggarth Glengarry Flake in a 1963 Barling #6106 sandblast billiard taper.
Bought another 500 grams from the great 25% off sale at www.PipeTobacco.Com as well as 2 kilos of Louisiana Flake today. They're similar but I prefer the latter.
We're close to 5" of snow on the ground and it's still coming down albeit not as fast as before. Supposed to snow into the night and we're running a lot colder than was forecast so I'm going to guess 7" when all is said and done tomorrow morning.
Sutliff Highlander in a MM Legend cobb.
Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a Grabow
Blackhouse in a Roma bulldog.
PS LBF in a Mastro de Paja rusticated straight billiard.
Just finished smoking Jim’s B Blend in a smooth 1998 Parker 489 three quarter bend Billiard. Next is McClelland Blakeney’s Best Tawny Flake in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin.

Mississippi Mud in a 1940s Custombilt. Don't like this blend in this pipe. Smoked OK, should of smoked it in my 90's Roma Savi...speaking of which...
Abingdon in my 90's Roma Savi. Smoked excellent, awesome complex taste.
Kendal Cream Flake in a Savi Alligator 1/2 bend. Another great smoke.
St. James in my late 90's Pete Irish Whiskey. I love this FVF with perique thing it has going on :p
Grasmere Flake in the Lakeland Legend. Good solid Lakeland flake. I would say topping wise it is between a Kendal Flake and Ennerdale Flake.
(I think) Wessex Burley Slices in a 1930s Custombilt. Wasn't too thrilled on this one. It was ok. Pipe smoked well at least.
I think that was about all that I partook in. About a bowl an hour, all while watching basketball and enjoying with friends. Went through plenty of bowls together. Good time.
The Meer Porn I promised will be in the March Meer thread soon.

I wish that we did it more often. Life is hectic and we all work crazy jobs. This is the first time that we all had gotten together in probably 4 months to have some bowls and enjoy.Quote:

Loading up a bowl of Junkyard Dawg in an old Wally Frank 1/2 bend. :pipe:
Listing this a few minutes early: 1970s Union Leader in a smooth 2002 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton.
If I was limited to Carter Hall tobacco and MM cobs for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be too disappointed. If you haven't already guessed, it's CH in a MM CG tonight, made for each other.
McClelland Yenidje Supreme in my Hwiebe.
Best. Pipe. Ever.
Just finishing this bowl of G&H Dark Flake Unscented in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend. Next is Arcadian Perique in my trusty 1970s smooth three quarter bend Peterson System Standard 305.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth CR Flake in a 1983 Ser Jacopo Gemma Granato smooth stout billiard taper with a gold band.
We ended up with 5 inches of snow and I'm glad to have been wrong. Cold out here tonight but pipe's smoking well so all is good.
Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in the second pipe I ever bought, a 1974 three quarter bend black groove carved Dr. Grabow Omega. Next is Chatham Manor in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash.
