What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Haebar]

D&R Picayune - bracing!

What a coincidence! I had my first bowl of Picayune yesterday and loved it. But halfway through my second bowl I started feeling a little weird and nauseous - the stuff is strong! Still I love the flavor and burning characteristics. Smoked it in an E.A. Carey straight billiard with the "Magic Inch" at work.

Smoking a bowl of Red Ox Twist in a Comoy's Guildhall billiard. This is pretty good tobacco for smoking.

We can buy it most any decent "tobacco store" here in East Tennessee. PM me your address and I'll send you some. Just so you know, it is marketed as chewing tobacco.

Puffing Patriot Flake (Dan Tobacco, Germany) in my Mark Tinsky straight brandy. Many years ago I smoked a ton of Patriot Flake, but when my B&M stopped carrying it I quit smoking it, because B&Ms were the only places I bought pipe tobacco in those pre-Internet days. I pretty much forgot about Patriot Flake.

But a couple of months ago I came upon an empty tin of Patriot Flake that I’d used to keep paper clips handy, and that brought the tobacco to mind. SmokingPipes listed it, but “out of stock”, of course. But ten days ago it was briefly available, and I snagged five 50g tins. They arrived yesterday, and I’m puffing PF now.

It’s good stuff — lots of flavor, all natural, no topping. Like Hamborger Veermaster, another Dan tobacco, there’s a single irregular stack of flakes that don’t separate easily. Here’s what SmokingPipes says of it:

“A Dan Tobacco tribute to the brave men and women, who fought for freedom, Patriot Flake features U.S. Virginia grades and Virginia tobaccos from Mysore with additional fermentation under pressure. It is press aged, sliced thin and kept in flake form. Easily rubbed out. This blend has an excellent cool burn with a satisfyingly rich, but smooth flavor. Medium Strength.”

BTW — my tins don’t have the ugly German tobacco warning on the bottom half of the tin label.

a bowl of lane virginia slices for breakfast, and then a half bowl of newminster 400 for afternoon. comparing these two, the lane tastes more like OGS ad the newminster clearly a macbaren product. both are good. liked the lane better initially, but the newminster has grown on me a bit.

Interestingly enough, I just laid out a flake of Peter Stokkebye, Luxury Navy. Figured I'd have a glass of white wine and some Va tonight.

Penzance in a sandblasted Savinelli Bing's Favorite, along with a cup of coffee.

Just finished up a bowl of some homemade Virginia/Dark Fired rope in an Ashton Brindle billiard.
