What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Part way through this bowl of SWRA in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot.

I survived smoking Mixture #79. I've had worse, but I doubt I will finish this gifted pouch.

Jim, I have never seen you throw a tobacco away before. M79 must be some awful stuff because I have seen you bravely slog through some tobaccos I would never put in my pipe. You may not like them, but "waste not, want not", and all that rot.

Yeah, it's true I have smoked pipe tobaccos that I really didn't care for - or hated - because I don't believe in throwing tobacco away. And #79 actually isn't the worst stuff I have smoked, but it sure doesn't fit my personal taste. That will make it hard to rate since I like to write objective reviews, not ones that fit my preferences. I won't throw away what I don't smoke. I'll give it to some body at some point. I've done that many times with stuff I didn't like.


Now smoking D&R London Dock in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2001 Karl Erik Ekstravagant brandy with a leaf engraved silver band. A bottle of Sprite is my drink on this rainy day.

I found M79 completely appalling. Didn't make it through more than 3 or 4 smokes of the stuff. Just terrible.

But then I discovered that mixing it 50/50 with Middleton's Apple (which by itself I found cloying), the result was something pretty decent. Like a spiced cider aro. I actually managed to finish off all the rest of the M79 and Apple that way.
