Smoked him with a Lowes shovel
Just finished a bowl of Cerberus in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls.
H&H Anniversary Kake in a John Bessai Special X squashed tomato. If I find that there is an afterlife where smoking is allowed but I can only have one pipe, this is the one I'm taking with me.
Afterlife yes, but it would only be heaven if no one wanted you to stop (smoking).Quote:

MacBaren Modern Virginia in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band. I've enough for one more bowl. Ice water chilled to the proper temperature with floaty li'l icebergs is my drink.
I am starting out with a bowl of Stonehaven in my extra large Rossi Freehand.:pipe: It has been a very busy day and is so relaxing to finally get to my pipes.:couch: I am enjoying Stonehaven while listening to "Mas Que Nada" Brazilian Guitar while topping it off with "Kirin Ichiban" brew; how nice it is at the end of a day!:beerchug:

In the 80s with a good dose of humidity today, very summer like but the wind's gusting into the 20 mph range so I need to use care with this little fella who was abused before I got it (lots of spiders and craters in the bowl).

Now smoking St. James Flake in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit. Been a while since I've smoked this VaPer, which is one of my favorites. Even though I reamed this pipe first, I notice the taste of Stonehaven, which was what I had smoked in it previously.

D&R Three Sails in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian. It might be a RYO, but I like smoking it in a pipe.

I'm close to hating this tobacco. Horrible cut with a miserable, uneven and hot burn. Packs real easily but it falls out easily too. The good news is that I only bought a single 50 gram tin. Bad news is that I still have about 35 grams left. It is a chore to smoke.
I'm going smash it up in a mortar and pestal and then blast it with a hair dryer and then drop the powder into the bowl and see if that helps because IT CAN'T HURT!.
Disclaimer: I have nothing against McClelland except this Tawny Flake. Just ordered several tins of Blackwoods and #25 and a pound of #2010 and I was one of their first (and enthusiastic) customers back in 1977.
We now return to your regularly scheduled broadcast.....

@NeverBend , I wish I had some Stonehaven.
How about McClelland Tawny Flake?Quote:

I'll wait a few minutes and then smoke some 2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1982 Ser Jacopo Gemma Rubino canadian.
How is that Louisiana Flake I have been eyeing that Flake ever since you dropped us the lead on the Pipeplace bulk sale. I just didn't want to get 500g without knowing. now I am sad the the GH is nulling part of it.Quote:

Smoking the last of the open stash of MacBaren Modern Virginia in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band.
Yeah, I'd take that Tawny Flake off your hands. Haven't tried the G&H Louisiana Flake either.Quote:

My first bowl of Semois in an MM Great Dane. This really is the most cigar like pipe tobacco I've tried so far. Earthy, nutty, with the tiniest bit of sweet. Quite unique to anything else I've tried.

I believe the new worst commercial in history has hit the cableways. All records are there to be broken, as they say, and this one simply has established a new nadir of creepiness and bad taste. It's the Quilted Norther toilet paper ad with the bunny in the bathroom. "Smash me." Sick stuff. It has the spookiness of a movie like Chunckie, combined with a disquieting, threatening bathroom humor. I don't think anyone is safe until the perpetrators responsible have been put away safely with their insane kindred spirits.
I'm back on the Royal Yacht, merrily puffing my way through an Artful Detective.
