Probably not going to have time for any smokery in the near future so making due with a small chaw of G&H Sweet Rum Twist
For all you occasional chewers out there, IMO SRT and Black Cherry Twist are the best G&H ropes for chewing. Very tasty.

I'm getting the idea that you like that red & black…Quote:

Planning a light supper. Tomato soup and sandwiches of Hebrew National salami & Irish cheddar (it is St. Patrick's day), on toasted German pumpernickel. A multinational sandwich!
Man, I can't get enough of it. I never thought I'd have a straight Virginia overtake SG Full Virginia Flake, but I think this has.Quote:

Smoked lots of C&D Carolina Red Flake lately; it is truly excellent tobacco. One guy in the pipe club said it reminded him of the McCranie Red Ribbon from the 1983 batch. I got it in a trade with a fellow BOTL in California. He laid it out to dry for 3 weeks and it never molded. Once you get a bowl going you don't want it to end.
Had a nice cigar earlier.
Now I'm enjoying a bowl of Penzance in my Savinelli Champagne bulldog.
Their pigtail and black rope make decent chews as well, ideal for those occasions where it's not okay to smoke, but spitting is still within the bounds of decorum :)Quote:

Currently smoking 3 10# boston butts, for a church mens' outing in a couple weeks:

& simultaneously smoking some homemade flake in a billiard nosewarmer. The flake is mostly cigar scraps, plus some fire-cured dark air, imzur, cavendish, and "Tobias' Surprise," a blend that our friend @tobias_lutz sent me a couple years ago.
I've been smoking a blend someone on ebay sent me when they sent a pipe. He sent almost 2 ounces as a gift with the purchase. I asked him later what was in it but he only said that it was something he threw together. I know it's got some latakia, Virginia and burley. Smoked it in a Savinelli Silver billiard.

C&D Bayou Night in a MM cob
Robert McConnell Oriental in a Dr. Grabow Berwyck.
H&H White Knight in a Kaywoodie....
PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in an unfinished Savinelli series III.
Some FMCellar, then H&H Anniv. Kake, and finally some Solani ABF
Finally had a chance to smoke some of the home made Navy Cake @Haebar sent to me.
It is good stuff. I can't wait to see how it develops with a bit of age!
Thank you for sharing, Tab!
Headed out for some OGS:)
I had some Rattray's Marlin Flake in a sandblast Savinelli 114KS on my lunchbreak.
Still got about half a bowl left, so I'll finish it up when I get home this evening.
I forget how good Marlin Flake is. Great stuff.
Heading out for a round of calabashery and maybe a finger of rum. Wish I had some Happy Bogie or Brown Irish X here but I don't. I do have a chunk of some black, Sam Gawith rope of some kind. I'll prolly smoke a chunk of that
Hope he wasn't from Colorado :)Quote:

Last night had some Esoterica Dunbar in a Willard pot. This morning I am have a homemade VaBurPer blend that a pipe club member made. Smoking it in my new estate Dunhill billiard that I got on Ebay.
Puffing the last fill from my tin of Dunhill Navy Rolls. When I first opened the tin, I thought it wasn't as good as De Luxe Navy Rolls. Still not sure about that, but regardless, this stuff is superb tobacco.
Well duh. It's not 'Deluxe' anymore :p :pQuote:

Think the FDA would be ok with that? How about 'Ghetto Navy Rolls'?
Smoked a bowl of G&H Sliced Brown Twist in the newest Savinelli. So far I've been unable to smoke this pipe to the bottom; always a bit of wet tobacco that just won't burn at the end. Hard to get cake in the heel at this rate. I'm hoping this problem eventually corrects itself or I'm going to be rather disappointed with this pipe.
Blackwoods Flake in a Dr. Grabow Starfire billiard.
That's how my 320 was for a long time. It is getting better now, after a year+.Quote:

I have smoked more McClelland Virginias in the last couple months than anything else.
Smoking some IRC Slices (Iwan Ries Company) in a Dunhill group 5 chubby Shell billiard. I got this pipe years ago at a flea market for $50 but the bore was off-center. Sent it to Dave Walker at Walker Briar Works and he fixed it so that you can barely tell that the bore is off center.
Having some Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in my Savinelli Champagne bulldog.
Smoked some Drew Estate Central Park Stroll on the way home from work this morning in my MM Eaton. I think it's what @Emperor Zurg would call a "flavorless goopy aromatic but I've found that if I load the bowl and let it ride around in the car with me for a couple of days it actually doesn't smoke too bad, kind of a berry/fruit flavor.
DE actually makes decent aromatics. One of the few aros I enjoy occasionally is 7th Ave Blonde. They're not goopy; they actually will dry out and burn to the bottom.Quote:

Thinking a small bowl of G&H Black Cherry Twist is in order this afternoon...
I have been smoking a LOT of Solani ABF and H&H Anniv. Kake recently. I know when I pop a tin or jar of these blends (and a few others) that my other rotational blends get jealous.
Went to a pistol range with my neighbor today, so time for only one bowl this afternoon. Good old Escudo.
Finished up a bowl of GH Louisiana Perique Flake.
Just had a bowl of Prince Albert with some latakia added.
Having my first ever bowl of McClelland Dark Star in a bent Savinelli Series III.
Smoking a bowl of the blend from the fellow in the pipe club again in an estate group 4 Dunhill Shell billiard.
