SPC Plum Pudding in my first monstrosity

Lane BL/WB in a MM Country Gentleman
Finishing the day with Dunhill Nightcap in a straight rusticated Friar with a nickel band.
Just finished a bowl of Dunhill Three Year Matured Virginia in an older banded Dr. Grabow.
Think I'll finish the evening off with a bowl of Nightcap in a rusticated Savinelli Bing's Favorite.
Firing off with Golden Glow in a straight Middeltonian
Je agree - probably the insufficient pressure.Quote:

Had some Prince Albert in a cob on my lunchbreak.
Got a box in today and tried a couple I haven't tried before, with mixed results.
Had a half a bowl of C&D Old Joe Krantz. I'm really glad I only got a 1 oz sample because I couldn't finish the bowl. Just plain burley taste with a tremendous spice kick.
Not for me.
Opened a tin of GL Pease Embarcadero and it is wonderful. Smoking a bowl of it in my unfinished Savinelli Series III.

Hi folks! I've been off line for awhile – I suffered nearly simultaneous problems with my iPhone and my laptop Internet connection. Apple has now replaced my four year old iPhone 5 with a brand new iPhone 5. Cost me $80, which seems like a fair deal.
My failed Internet connection was a dongle that plugged into a USB port of my laptop, and connected to Sprint's LTE network. My new Internet connection is a Netgear "Hotspot" which also uses Sprint's LTE network, but connects to my laptop via its built-in router. A better solution, but I spent a lot of time researching it, purchasing, and getting it activated and configured.
I'm very happy that that hassle is now behind me, and I can just sit here enjoying a pipeful of Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake!
That's kind of what I thought of D&R Picayune, only it was cigarettes minus the paper and a tremendous spice kick.Quote:

Maybe because Saturday was Chinese new year... that oriental enough for ya?
Glad my brain kicked into gear when I saw your thread, and better still that the baccy I recommended having never smoked is a hit!!Quote:

Not going to have time for any Grand Orientals tonight after all. I had to make due with a couple handfuls of smoked almonds.
Changed the water pump on our Jeep this weekend.
Over the course of staring, thinking, mulling, pondering, wrenching, draining, waiting, cursing, and celebrating; I enjoyed the following (all in cobs):
McClelland Blackwoods Flake
My shelf vaper blend
McClelland 5100 with some perique and a pinch of latakia
H&H Larry's Blend
I keep a fairly strict tobacco rotation, and yesterday DF was up. But I had a hankering for Perique, so I opened a tin of Solani 633 instead. Puffing a fill of that now. It is a very fine tobacco.
A bowl of DE Central Park Stroll in my one and only briar this morning.
McClelland 24 Virginia in a Savinelli Bing's Favorite.
Only my 2nd bowl of this. So far I like it. A lot.
Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake in a straight, smooth Brewster billiard
Hearth & Home Porch Swing in a MM cob
Finishing up a bowl of GL Pease Embarcadero in an older banded Dr. Grabow Berwyck.
I think next up will be Rattray's Marlin Flake in a Savinelli Roma 114KS.
Had some C&D Bayou Morning on my lunch break.
It's one I'd tried about a year ago and didn't care for. I thought I'd give it another go.
Meh.
Gotta be in the mood for that one, the Perique really makes it presence known. If you end up liking that McClelland PM I sent and want more I'll swap you next go around. I suspect the bayou would be a good one with a decade of age or so on it.Quote:

SPS Maple Street in a straight rusticated Friar with a nickel band.
My first smoke in a Dr. Grabow Golden Duke I restored. No varnish. Just oiled.
Tobacco is SG Best Brown Flake. It really is. I just rubbed it out and stuck it in an empty Blackwoods Flake tin because it was a hair moist.

What kind of oil did you use on it?Quote:

Enjoying a bowl of SPC MS River in a Howal. Great pipe and wonderful tobacco along with the SPC Plum Pudding from SPC. I need to try some more of the SPC offerings someday......
I think I found something great.
3/4 McClelland 5110 and 1/4 PS blending latakia. Sweet, smokey, delicious.
You should try it.
I have some lat, but I wonder what would come close to the 5110?.....Quote:
