What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[JimInks]

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.

Jim,

Be glad that it was Stonehaven and not that Mixture #79 that you were messing with a coupe of weeks ago.

Speaking of bad tobaccos...

2015 McClelland Tawny Flake in a 1981 Ser Jacopo 1C sandblast lovat.






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?

Doing something I (almost) never do - ditching a bowl, this stuff just isn't worth the effort and I won't ghost this fine Mastro pipe.

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.

Hi Thomas,

PM me your address and I'll send some along to you. I'm biased, having bought 4 kilos of it .
