What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Frog Morton's Cellar in a Grabow pot

Just finished smoking 2011 SPC Mississippi River in a 1949 medium bend Dunhill Shell.

Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog.

Just finished a bowl of FVF in a MM Country Gentleman.

I think I'll pull out a MM Legend and finish the night off with some Nightcap.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur #1 in a 2003 smooth Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville.

Couple minutes away from smoking Watch City Nor’ Easter in a 1990s smooth Peterson Captain Pete XL80 bulldog.

Just finished smoking 2011 Villiger Maryland No. 333 in a 2004 smooth long stem Canadian Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3.

Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega.

Early this morning I had a bowl of Gatlin-burlier Mellow Moonshine blend in my "new" estate Sunrise Canadian that I got on Ebay. It arrived with a cigarette burn on the bowl that wasn't shown in the pictures, but since I got it for around $10 it is not worth returning it. So I am going to keep it as a smoker.

I only tend to really notice PG when it's been laid on thick. The only flavored components available to me come from Sutliff and their stuff arrives practically dripping wet with it. I do get an "off" taste from their aros.

To keep this on track: I'm sitting here contemplating my feeble brain while puffing on some 15 year old Arcadia in a nice big McCarter craggy egg.

Morning Andy,

White burley I've heard of but I was hoping that there is a White Virginia as I imagined a mixture the color of Latakia and PVC shavings :).

I've only smoked one Sutliff mixture, a Latakia that was appropriately moist but I suspect that there may be others on the forum who share your experience with their aromatics.

I'm still not quite on track. Last smoke was an Arganese Cafe Dominicana (yesterday afternoon). Lovely morning cigar so I put a torch to one @6:30am. Pipes later.

Pete
