What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Smoking a bowl of H&H Sweet Cask in a Dr. Grabow.

Smoking a bowl of SPC Mississippi River in a Sydney P. Ram bulldog. I love this blend but something is wrong here, I'm just not enjoying it. It's not just this blend or this pipe either, even my favorite tobaccos just aren't doing it for me lately. Either the love is gone or all my pipes are so in need of cleaning that everything tastes like crap. I hope it's not the former but I have doubts that it's the latter since many of my pipes have only been used a couple of times since they were last cleaned. Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

I can't say everything tastes bad, but I purchased an 8 oz. tin of Mississippi River 2/2016 and opened it 4/2017 and it doesn't taste like the sample that was sent to me. I don't know how long the original was cellared, but it was much better. I'm drying some out right now to try again after supper. Good luck finding your taster thingies....

Had a bowl of (mostly) G&H, Bob's Square Cut on a trip across town. It needed something to offset the predominately grassy/floral flavor (which I don't care for) of this weed so I amended the charge with a few shreds of Black Twist Sliced. Perked up the flavor considerably and was quite nice for the first half of the bowl but the dark, oily flavor of the BTS started to get annoying toward the bottom. I think next time I'll try adding a bit of Sliced Brown Twist instead.

FVF tonight.
It was just okay because I've got a cold ramping up. May have to put the pipe down for a few days. Bummer.

I've been smoking G&H Scotch Flake almost exclusively the last two days. Very tasty Virginias and no bite if you take your time with it. Not nearly as strong in terms of N as many of their other blends.

sounds good. Is that the one you were rehydrating? if so sounds like it worked well.
