Had a couple bowls of McClelland 40th Anniversary earlier.
Ending the day with some Brown Bogie in my pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock (mainly because it's my smallest bowled pipe).
Tastes good, but damn......
Man I love Brown Bogie!Quote:

Most of the time when you hear of a tobacco that is super strong, it is mostly hyperbole, but Brown Bogie lives up to the reputation. It is certainly full/strong in every sense of the word. I find it is one of the few pipe tobaccos that stands up good to a glass of Scotch or Bourbon.
This evening I am having a bowl of Dunhill's "Aperitif" in my no name extra large Sherlock Holmes #1.:pipe: I had already smoked 3 tins of this tobacco from last years Pipes and Cigars end if the summer sale and I am now working on this years end of the summer sale. I seem to really like this tobacco because I keep coming back to it frequently.:leprechaun: I am topping off this smoke with a small glass of "Honey Brandy", and I am beginning to feel very relaxed after a busy day.:wave:

I think I sucked down about half a bowl of Captain Black after reading that.I'm telling you,that stuff doesn't tasteQuote:

Well... at least you were smoking a pipe BEFORE it was cool :p :p :p http://i65.tinypic.com/263hmk2.jpgQuote:

Well I did it... talked myself into trying one 'fresh'. Mini 'review' to follow...
Acid Blondie Belicoso
The first half would have made for a decent, albeit very mild, smoke were it not for the sickening sweet goop they slopped on the tip. Figured I'd just take a blade and cut the tip off but the goop goes down for at least a good 1 1/2" if not more. (If I don't just give these things away, I'll try smoking the next one backwards as there didn't seem to be any sweet goop on the foot) Other than that, the artificial flavoring (though not appreciated) wasn't overdone although I doubt the actual leaf would have had any flavor at all without it. This cigar actually seemed to have a pleasant room note from what I could notice while smoking it. From about the halfway point on, the thing got progressively more nasty as I went along. The reviews I read mention 'sandalwood'. Well if that's what I'm tasting, suffice to say I don't like sandalwood; I think it would be best left for making sandals as my feet lack the ability to taste and smell. I think I'll go cleanse my palate with a small bowl of Sweet Rum Twist.
Trying a new tobacco today. Went to Iwan Ries and picked up some Dr. Bradley Mixture & tasting it in a meer. So far so good....

My tin of Dunhill Flake was nearly empty, so I added enough Hamborger Veermaster for a complete fill. About a 50-50 mixture. Dang, it's good -- tastes like a completely different tobacco! Gonna have to remember this.
Just popped open a tin of Capstan Medium (blue tin label) with 3+ years of age on it. I was going to stop ordering this stuff, simply because I have other straight Virginia flakes that I like -- would simplify my inventory. But this stuff is going down so nicely that I might have to reconsider. IMO, Capstan Medium is the best tobacco that Mac Baren ever made.

I see you're watching the man in the high castle. Mrs. Bruck and I watched thru that series a while ago. Very interesting and thought-provoking, but it didn't really end, it just sort of petered out. Other than that, I won't spoil it for you :)Quote:

Elizabethan Mixture in a smooth, bent Dr. Grabow
Yesterday I slowly incinerated a bit of old leaf I've had lying around. First, I had a bowl of Erinmore flake in a cob. The tin is years old and I don't really care for the blend but it was fairly dry and I didn't have time to dry out anything else. Then, at the campfire, I remembered a cigar tube containing a few bone dry coins of G&H Black Cherry Twist that have been rattling around in my glove box like a pouch of Mixture 79 for close to 2 years. Those went into the cob and met their demise with little fanfare or flavor. Surprisingly, there was still the same hint of cherry flavor this blend always has but little in the way of anything else.
Having some Dunhill Royal Yacht in a cob this morning with a cup of coffee (It's Starbucks 2017 Holiday Blend and it tastes great. Don't judge me.) :)

This evening I am having a bowl of Orkik "Dark Strong Kentucky" in my extra large Savinelli 606.:pipe: As usual I went digging thru my stash to find something to smoke and I could not come up with what I craved and then I remembered this "Dark Strong Kentucky" that I had gotten in Pipes and Cigars end of the summer sale.:wave: so I went to my jarred tobacco cabinet and found it. This tobacco is just what "the doctor ordered" and it is delicious.:peaceful: I am topping this smoke off with a small glass of brandy and I am totally relaxed.:santa:
[I]some I haven't seen yet (since I returned) and I hope that they are still active here.[I]

Puffing F&T Special Brown Flake from a just-opened tin with 2+ years of age on it. This is an interesting tobacco. SmokingPipes says that it's rum flavored. It certainly generates tasty smoke, but I doubt that I'd've guessed rum if I hadn't read the blurb.
The flakes are very neatly stacked in the tin, but they've the most fragile flakes I've ever seen. That's in contrast to Solani ABF flakes, which are durable enough for light construction.

I've been smoking some of the new Cornell & Diehl Red Virginia Flake. I didn't buy any tins while it was available but a friend in the Knoxville Pipe Club gave me some. At the club meeting Wednesday night, I opened a tin of Ashton's Consummate Gentleman and everyone liked it.
That's one of my favorite tobaccos. Just ordered some more from P&C this morning.Quote:

Managed to get a pipe in before work today. Dunbar in an old Grabow Starfire.
Monday rainy commute day commemorated with Irish Flake in my Stanwell silver band.
This evening I had decided to dig through my old bag of stash and came across this tiny free sample bag of "Harvest Moon" tobacco that is more than 10 years old; I decided to try it in my corncob.:pipe: I don't have any memory of where I got it, but it has definitely been sitting there for more than 10 years. This tobacco was still moist after all this time. After lighting it, I found that it was a very sweet aromatic, flavorful, ran hot and was not to my liking; after smoking half a bowl I dumped it out.:sick: I am now having a bowl of SG FVF in my Savinelli 606EX and am enjoying it.:santa: I am topping off this smoke with a small glass of brandy and the train is "back on the track".:wave:
Last night I burned a bowl of Sweet Rum Twist in a gourd calabash.
This pipe is perfect for these strong blends; smallish bowl size and it really mellows the smoke.
Happy Thanksgiving Bums!
May your cigars be delicious and burn perfect
and
best wishes for the happiest of holidays to you and your family.
To you as well. I was traveling thru the middle of nowhere the last 2 months and missed your return but would like to welcome you back to the forum.Quote:
