What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pipe Smoker]

Just finished a bowl of Dunhill Flake in
a Chadwick cutty

I opened a 3 yo tin of Dunhill Flake early this morning. It’s been awhile since I smoked this stuff — had forgotten just how good it is. No fancy topping, just plain tobacco of the finest. Now on my third fill. And sipping a Nespresso “Ristretto” espresso. The Italians shoot it, but I sip it.

Been more than a few years since this old Medico has had a bowl of Amphora brown run through it. Found my grandfather's old pipe when we were home a couple weeks ago. Figured tonight is as good a night as any to load a bowl of his favorite tobacco and enjoy. Solitude on the deck but smoking it in good company.

Your grandfather took good care of his pipes — that old Medico looks to be in pretty good condition. Maybe your good company was thoughts of your grandpa while you were puffing the Amphora Brown.

I’m not an aromatic guy at all. But I’ve been impressed with the quality of Solani tobaccos, and the blending skill of Herr Will. So a year or two ago I bought a tin of Solani 639, Tropical Mango Flake. Black Cavendish, Virginia, and Burley.

This stuff turned out to be INTENSELY aromatic. Too much for me — after smoking half a bowl I dumped my pipe and threw the tin away. But later, I began to regret my haste when it occurred to me that a blend of straight Virginia and the TMF might be interesting.

So recently I bought another tin of TMF. I’m now puffing a mixture of 76% Dunhill Flake, 24% TMF. And it’s pretty good — still strongly aromatic, I’ll reduce the TMF component to 20% next time. This blend is a major league change up for me. I put the rest of the TMF into a jar, as I won’t be smoking it at any great rate.

PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in my unfinished Savinelli Series III.

I don’t smoke a lot of Solani ABF, but sometimes I get hungry for it. That just happened, so I got out my jar. It’s going down just right.

Had some PS Proper English earlier.

Now I've just lit a bowl of Sam Gawith Navy Flake in my Rogers Town and Country.
