D&R Rimboche A.P. in a straight smooth patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite stem. Just got this pipe! :)
Heine's Blend in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem.
Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake, is the only burley I've found that I like. It has LOTS of flavor.Quote:

Blends nicely with DF, too.
@OnePyroTec 's "House Blend" in the best looking Kaywoodie White Briar I've ever seen...... ;)

Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot with a black vulcanite stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.
Lane Limited BL/WB, followed shortly thereafter by Sutliff Highlander, in a MM Twain cobwarden
Just finished smoking D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a 2003 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a black acrylic stem.
Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a straight 2012 MM Pony Express cob. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
Fixin to light up a bowl full of various leavings in a Barling... leavings consisting of;
Red Raparree
1792 Flake
SG Chocolate Flake
I think that's all that's in there. This has all the potential to be awful. I'm scared.
-edit-
Well it's not too bad. Just tastes like I'm puffing on Red Rap in a pipe with a tonquin ghost.
The room note isn't going to win any friends though; it's pretty vile
C&D Sansepolcro (Small Batch) in a smooth medium bend post-WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock Killarney 9BC with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite stem.
Haven't been posting here much lately. The pipes kind of took a back seat over the summer. Been starting back up again, and I have been favoring mostly Va /VaPer's.
This eve, a little Dan Hamburger Veermaster in a MMCG.
Having a "raw" blend tonite - some fire cured dark air (VA) and perique, both from Larry the Tobacco Butcher. About a 2:1 ratio, no topping. Pretty much a clean tobacco flavor, a little cigarette-like, with a little tanginess from the perique. Semi-strong in the nic department.
Pipe is a MM - pretty sure it's a Diplomat; it's the one that's kind a wide egg shape.
Just finished smoking G&H Black Cherry Twist in a 2013 bent MM Missouri Pride Legend with a yellow stem.
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 smoking Dunbar in a straight smooth patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite stem. This is a great pipe, and I'm glad I got it.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front with a black vulcanite stem.
Comoy's 184 Pebble Grain......

Puffing a celebratory fill of FVF, cellared in 2007, in my venerable Kirsten Mariner. So good!
Hearth & Home Mazatec in a MM Twain cobwarden
Having some Balkan Blend from Seegar and Snuff (London) in an Altinok Meer. It's one of these:

Only mine has started to take on some nice creamy brown tones as a good meer should :)

Peter Stokkebye 701 Virginia in a MMCG for the drive to work this am.
Half way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front with a black vulcanite stem. Been fighting food poisoning the last couple days. That's certainly not for the timid.
Drying out cube-cuts of Gaslight for a trip thru my Glass Sipper, semi-churchwarden, Country Gentleman.
I like lat blends in cobs... and someone got me thinking about Gaslight, so there you have it.
First pipe in a couple days. Had a very busy day yesterday, took my daughter, son in law, and stepson out to an extended lunch at the local oyster bar to celebrate her birthday. She made fun of my 10 year old flip phone and finally convinced me to get a smart phone. So after lunch I went phone shopping, then came home and did more research online. Ended up settling on a Apple iPhone 6s and ordered the unlocked version online. It will be delivered Friday and if I can figure out how to use the camera I may now be able to post pics of my pipes. But for now you'll just have to imagine what this one looks like as I have a bowl of SPC Mississippi River in a MM Dagner Poker Cob.
Neat pipe!....Quote:

Half way through this bowl of C&D Corn Cob Christmas Blend 2016 in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem. Been drinking plenty of water.
I have my venerable Kirsten Mariner loaded with Solani 633, Virginia with Perique. Such a bright, cheery tin label! And it ain't no lie -- the flavor is bright and cheery too.

Not too far away from finishing this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite stem. Still hard on the throat to smoke (and talk), but I'm finding light blends are easier to take until I get better.
Almost finished smoking Jim's Va/Bur in a 2015 Basil Meadows Bing Crosby Merchant Service replica with a smooth straight thin shank, aluminum band and black ebonite stem.
McClelland 2015 VaPer in a Nomad black rusticated nose warmer.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...112dd1001e.jpg
Having a bowl of Drew Estate Gatsby Flake with my morning coffee.
Pretty good straight Virginia blend.
Now smoking early 1970s Amphora Original (Brown) in a 1990s slight bend black Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Dark 4 Dublin with a black vulcanite stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
Part way through this bowl of 2015 Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Oom Paul with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem.
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. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
