Whats in your bowl?

[MUNKY]

Had some brindle flake this morning, loved it!

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

I had a bowl of "sweepings". Mostly VaPers with a little Balkan and some other stuff mixed in. Not bad stuff. The only problem is when it's great, there's little chance of reproducing it exactly.

Yesterday was cob Tuesday so I took my favorite Santia cob and loaded it with my favorite H&H El Nino.

Today was some 10 year old Brown Clunee in a regular cob while spinning some briar on the lathe.

3 Nuns again this morning. I'll be needing to order more soon.

Captain Bob's Blend in a Missouri Pride Cob, and in a Baraccini Tulip. This was my first smoke in the Tulip. I got it on special last year and just got around to using it. I did open up the airway and chamfered the end of the tenon because I have read in the past these pipes are not good smokers. I should have smoked it before making the mods...but it is a flawless smoker now that cost (at the time) around $30.

I got into this game late, so I never tried the original VAPER Three Nuns. I can't imagine how it could be better than the new edition.

[alfredo_buscatti]

I felt that way about a tin I smoked ~November. But then I smoked Pease "Gaslight," which is so good I would have to classify it as belonging in the stratosphere with 3Nuns made by Imperial, which is not to say anything bad about "Nightcap," always a classic.

Is there that big a difference from the Murray Nightcap to the current production Nightcap? I haven't opened a tin of the current blend yet because I still have the old stuff :D That being said, I'd never put Gaslight above "Murray" Nightcap. It is good, but not that good IMHO. :2

Off to the shop for a day of playing on the lathe. I'll be smokin' H&H El Nino to start the day, then a bowl or two of Blackhouse, finishing the day off with Magnum Opus. All will be in pipes I made. :tu

Yesterday was two bowls of the H&H Marquee to be named later blend & finished the day with Magnum O! again.

2003 Wessex Sovereign Curly Cut in a cob

I tend to lean towards the aromatics. Mostly light aromatics though . C&D does a fantastic job with them. Then again, I have never had anything from C&D that was not fantastic.

I recently picked up a tin of Dunhill Nightcap and just now got around to trying it. I gotta say that it was delightful! If it weren't for my increasingly disappointing Kaywoodie, I would have enjoyed it better. I like the shape of the Kaywoodie, but it burns way too hot and the draw is tighter than I like. This baccy may just inspire me to smoke a pipe more often and find a replacement for the Kaywoodie.

Carter Hall in a cob past few days. Very good at what it does (which isn't much).

I've read complaints that most SG blends are very wet. I've had very little trouble with my tin though. Dry some and try it both ways. I've seen the same tobacco exhibit different flavors when dried vs. out of the tin.

I have a kaywoodie also. My main complaint of that pipe is the gurgle and slop around the stinger. Occasionally I get a taste of nicotine water. Nasty! It's to the point that I disassemble it and blow it out and run a cleaner while smoking a bowl. If I could only find a nice little apple like this that didn't gurgle....

Been smoking H&H White Knight in cobs & meers this week.

There is a new Tobacco I haven't seen yet. I love the H&H Blackhouse, House of Lords, 10 to Midnight, daybreak to name a few and my wife and son like more then I do but the Distinguished Penguin! There is more just can't think of them all right now. TO many tobaccos to remember. Guess one I will need to check out on my next order. However I will have to buy from the other site. Seeing I have Been getting my orders from one that don't carry it. Looking at the other retailer I order from time to time they have it. I know That is where I found most of the H&H line. oh yeah stogie, Sunjammer and how could i forget meat candy lol

Anyway smoking my last bowl of House of Lords in my Kudu 73 covered in leather. Enjoy your day all

I did hear about the one for the BlackHouse. I didn't know it was under the same for WhiteKnight blend as well. I would love to try some if you have a little sample to spare! Just remember no kind deed goes unpunished LOL.

James

[OnePyroTec]

I have plenty of it on hand. PM me your address and I'll get some in the mail.

It is one blend I keep a large jar of and don't plan on aging it. Russ in my opinion made a time machine with the blends. The Black House is what Balkan Sobranie, in his blending wizardry, had aged to after twenty + years as you know, and the White Knight is what he remembers Balkan Sobranie being in the late 70's. I WAS lucky enough to have it months before the official release. It is a blend that Russ is really proud of.

[WaRevo]

Thank you
Well I will say for sure that BlackHouse so far is my 10000000% favorite tobacco. Liked it so much that I have even gifted a few tins to people in the past so they could enjoy life like I was.

Today going through my desk I found some Tobacco that has been in here since 2009ish, I am not sure if it was Dec 09 or feb 10 somewhere between there I was sent some things from Holland and UK from a friend.

Anyway I thought I had long smoked all this tobacco and happy that I had just over a bowl left of some (Gawith, Hoggarth & Co) Coffee Caramel. That is what I am told it was from the UK. This tobacco was a nice treat today with my AM Coffee. I do admit I liked it more then my coffee. Ash in pipe and still 3/4 cup full of coffee..

i did find this tobacco to be alittle on the wet side, Smoked alittle hot in my slight caked Arlington Standard pipe. Ran 3 pipe cleaners through the pipe while smoking to keep it clean. I spent the better part of 2 hours smoking this. I found this to be a little light on the Coffee and very caramel rich in taste. Now I just need to find some more of this tobacco.

Hope you all enjoy your day

Smoking a Special Blend from a brother, Without giving out amount I will just give the Tobaccos that are in it. Yellow Virginia, Orientals, Red Virginia, Latakia and some Perique. Smoking in a Dr. Grabow. Love this pipe and this TOBACCO. It smokes great in everything I have smoked it in. This tobacco has a Great Finish long lasting. In all honesty I could really cut down on how much I smoke tobacco by smoking this blend 2 times a day. I would be content. My wife loves the smell and while she was smoking a bowl says it is very smooth. For me this is close to House of Lords my Fav however there is no Turkish in this and no Perique in House of Lords so are different beasts. Yummm

For me this is a Nice Va/Lat for me it seems very heavy on the Latakia. Not a Every day type of tobacco. One that I could put in my Rotation 2 or 4 times a week.

I'm giving pipes another try so I had some Dunhill Nightcap in a Grabow Silver Duke ¼ bent apple I just picked up. I like the smaller bowl on this. It was very good! I have another couple of estate pipes on the way. They're in really nice shape and I shouldn't have to do anything more than clean them. I have high hopes this time around as I have learned to dry out the baccy a bit first and it seems to have worked well. It was probably one of the most enjoyable pipes I've smoked; it was nice and cool and dry. :tu

I definitely seem to have the most luck with the English blends. I have a lot of tobacco and a few pipes coming. About 2/3 of the way through my tin of GLP Stratford and I'm excited to try some different VaPer blends. I'm particularly excited for the Escudo. I see that being tossed around on just about every forum and review site there is.

[OnePyroTec]

Loaded up a cob today with something that is from 2004 or before and never had enough time to go outside to sit long enough to smoke it. On the go all day long. MAYBE in the next couple of hours or in the morning.

I truly do not know what the tobacco is. A friend of mine gave me his pipe tobacco in 2004 and this is from one of the bags which were not marked. Chances are it is not going to be smoked completely. So far, a couple of the "no name" bags haven't been worth keeping IMHO.

[ApexAZ]

Got my new Mark Twain cob today. It is rather large with a smaller bowl. The walls are the thickest I've ever seen on a cob. Since the bowl is fairly narrow, I'm going to dedicate it to Virginia's.

Brian, That is an interesting looking Cob, Congrats. Hope it is a great smoker.

James,

Thanks!

The first bowl seems to be smoking really smooth and sweet. I decided to leave the filter in for now, until I can get a new stem for it. My thoughts were the filter may help with some of the residues or other junk left over in the bowl. I don't think I've ever used a filter, but I gotta say it doesn't really seem to reduce the flavor at all, from what I can tell. Is it better to use a filter? What's the point?

Brian

[MarkinAZ]

Got my new Mark Twain cob today.

That's a great looking Mark Twain cob Brian. I like the thick walls on the bowl. Here's some measurements on the diameter and inside bowl depth:

Chamber diameter: .75 in/19.05 mm
Chamber depth: 1.625 in/41.275 mm

I've never used a filter myself, but you may want to go ahead and smoke a few bowls with the filter, then remove the filter and smoke a few more bowls of the same pipe tobacco to ascertain if there is indeed a difference.

Again, nice looking cob my friend:tu

[WaRevo]

Great advise from Mark there, I would smoke a few with and a few without and see what one you like better. I know that there are some people that smoke really fast and hard. They tend to like the filters to help keep the tobacco or ash from getting into the mouth. Under normal use I like to smoke without the filter. If I am going to mow the lawn or do something where I can forget to take it slow I too use a filter just in case I draw to hard. I don't like ash in the mouth lol... If it is a wet blend, The ash most times don't make it to far past the shank.. Another reason I use a filter if I am out mowing is I don't have to worry about running a pipe cleaner in the pipe. I can just smoke away.

James

[ApexAZ]

Mark--Thanks, I couldn't find the dimensions on the MM site, but admittedly I didn't look very hard either. I thought the bowl would be bigger though. It's not as wide as my country gentleman bowls. It smoked really great though.

James--That's good advice. My forever stems won't take a filter, but I have all the original stems, so maybe I'll keep a few filters on hand for some of the reasons you state. Are you not supposed to run a cleaner though while the filter is in?

I can't wait for my new tobaccos to get delivered.

Very nice looking pipe!

I got my PS Luxury Navy Flake in today, so I decided to try a bowl and my allergies went nuts and killed it for me. I have no clue how it tasted.

[OnePyroTec]

Thanks gents! This is the one and only pipe I let my wife help pick/design before buying. The picture doesn't really do it justice either. Hard to tell but all the weaves are actually carved out not just scratched on the surface.

Wow, beautiful. I was reading about meerschaum pipes earlier and Wikipedia said some people use gloves, or some sort of leather holder to ensure an even stain. Do you do this? I looked at a site selling baki pipes, and at $300 it seems like you would want to do this?

That is awesome looking Meer. Most are a work of Art but yours is an amazing work of Art. Congrats on the pipe. Can't wait to see it in 10 years and see the colors that it does between. One thing I have to say I learned about mine. If you stop smoking it it stops coloring. I need to make sure mine stays on a normal rotation of some very wet blends LOL. hearth & Home don't do much for coloring in my book anyway..

C&D Autumn Evening. Its pipe season again. I really need to start smoking something different. I just love this one though.....maples in general I guess

This pipe was a little more than $300, but I don't wear gloves. On one hand, yes, it is a work of art. On the other hand, no, I don't worry about how it is going to color even or not. I tried holding it at the stem the first time I smoked it...too damn heavy hold that way for the entire smoke so I hold it like every other pipe I have. :tu

That's cool, I can appreciate that. I'd probably do that too :)

I'm smoking a bowl of GLP Laurel Heights tonight. My allergies are still giving me problems, but not quite as bad as last night.

[Subvet642]

Just finished a bowl of Ashton Consummate Gentleman mixed with some Peterson's Irish Flake in my new (estate) e Cabinet rusticated Dublin(?) ¼ bend. It's an excellent smoker; very few re-lights. Next up is some Penzance that I've got drying a bit. I'm hoping that my new(estate) Commodore Canadian shows up today.

Smoking some Yummmy Hearth & Home Whiteknight in a small bulldog. Love this no name made in Czech pipe. Just the right size for the last bit of the Whiteknight I had left..

GLP Gaslight

[OnePyroTec]

I was going to toss some unknown tobacco I really didn't care much for but I couldn't do it. Instead I have been smoking in (just finished last bowl) in a modified MM Country Gent cob with bamboo shank and mini warden stem.

Now to start another jar of unknown tobacco. <<<sigh>>>

[Col. Kurtz]

Luxury twist flake

[ApexAZ]

Had a bowl of GLP Barbary Coast on the way in. Now smoking a bowl of SG St. James Flake. I like this stuff a lot. It seems to be heavier on the perique compared to the Stratford.

Dunhill flake. Very tasty.

Tonight or This morning, I am smoking some Prince Albert in a Arlington Standard.

[nutcracker]

So not much of a pipe smoker, but the Fall is a great time to sit outside and enjoy a nice pipe.

I picked up some GLP Meridian while down here in the US, and am really enjoying it. Not as wild as Pirate Cake that a tried a few days ago, but great aromas from this one. Seems to go with the autumn colours. Intense brooding and delicious.

[spacemonkeyjon]

on my 3rd bowl of c&D kajun kake. this one in my 320. have a great night everyone

[WaRevo]

Morning all, Smoking my Meerschaum IMP Filled with Captain Black(White) On a Straight smoke this tobacco is simple and smooth. With the Retro it adds to the Flavor profile. No matter what tobacco I have. I always have CBW and PA in my daily smoke rotation.

Smoking some DT Holmer Knudsen's in a SmokeMaster S300. Strange pipe really. Cool in it's own right. A filter pipe (Pipe Cleaner) folded in half slides in 2 holes in the stem. Kind of an interesting older pipe.

[Subvet642]

Sutliff Private Stock #5 in my Chacom Alpina 28, a good, solid English. The pipe continues to smoke cool and gurgle free. I'm using those "Hi grade" softy bits from P&C and between that and the light weight of the pipe, it is a very comfy smoke.

Thanks James! That sure is one strange looking pipe; kinda Steam Punk-ish. It is an interesting system. It looks like the pipe cleaner acts as a trap for the condensate from the slotted tube.

[nutcracker]

It snowed today! Not cigar weather, so I tried a flake from the tin of MacBaren Dark Fired I bought yesterday, in my ancient meer I acquired from one of the members here. It was a great little smoke - actually quite complex with some BBQ sweetness in there. The meer gurgled a bit, but maybe I was puffing too quickly because of the lousy weather.

She's a delicate lady, so I cleaned her up and will let her rest a bit!

I haven't tried that yet, James. Its in a jar. I'll try it soon and report back though. :)

[ApexAZ]

Oh wait, you sent me the my mixture, right?

[Subvet642]

Sutliff Private Stock Nº5 in my Grabow Silver Duke. This could be a regular in the rotation. On another note, could anyone recommend a non-fruity aromatic for a guy that likes English blends? The wife asked if I might try one.

[ApexAZ]

You try Barbary Coast yet, Darren? It's good.

[WaRevo]

Oh wait, you sent me the my mixture, right?

Your right, you know what. I meant to send you some of the De Luxe as well. Don't know why it is still here in my drawer. Well!!! Shoot. Already on my second Tin. I will have to buy a Tin and see what is different.

James

[Subvet642]

You try Barbary Coast yet, Darren? It's good.

No, I haven't. Who makes it? What'sit like? I haven't tried very much of anything yet, but I want to take a well reasoned approach to find my everyday smoke. I know, in my head, what I want, but it's hard to describe. I have some Comoy's Cask #2 on the way: chocolate and vanilla with a back note of port wine. Sounds good.

It's a very light aromatic by GLP. Burley based and very tasty. It's not overly aromatic, retaining much of the tobacco flavor and has a good room note. I like it a lot and coming from cigars I also like the English blends.

Yeah guys, that's just the kind of thing I was thinking about. Something NOT like a Swisher Sweet. It's on the list.

The wife wanted me to check out aromatics because they remind her of her dad when she was growing up.

Ah, I gotcha. I haven't really delved too deep into those, cause it's not really my thing I guess. The ones I've tried were too sweet I guess, which is why I found the BC to be a nice balance. I wish I could help more.

On my regular supply run to the Granite State, I had an opportunity to stop at a great pipe and tobacco shop called Gold Leaf on Rt. 1 (Lafayette Rd.) in Hampton. I found them by checking out the GLP website and they were listed as a stockist. What a great shop! The proprietor is gentleman right out of Central Casting; he looks like he was born with a pipe in his mug. He mostly sells pipes, pipe tobacco and accessories, but he has some cigars. I bought his last tin of GPL Barbary Coast and got some good advice about gurgling pipes; counter sink the tenon. Another shop patron called it "G-Forcing". :pi

[MarkinAZ]

A bowl full of Father Dempsey Blend from Kramers Pipe and Tobacco Shop in Beverly Hills. Good stuff:tu Smoked this in the unknown billiard estate pipe that I'm refurbishing to tighten the tenon in the mortise. Appears to be doing the job. Maybe a few more bowls and then I'll get rid of it (maybe)...

Let me know how you like the BC. I just smoked a bowl on the way in to work and continue to really enjoy it.

Also, since you gravitate toward the English blends, be sure to try GLP's Gaslight. I got a few samples of it with some tin orders and enjoyed it very much. I plan to buy a few tins on my next shopping spree:)

Couple bowls of John Bull English over the weekend. Really pleasant stuff. Very classic "pipe" smell according to everyone I Was around.

[ApexAZ]

More Frog Morton On the Town. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying and using this brebbia pipe cleaner/sweetner stuff and all I taste is mint. Lesson for the day: NEVER USE BREBBIA MINT SWEETNER!!!!!

This stuff is so strong it masks even the latakia. Dang. Hopefully it will go away after this bowl and a cleaning with everclear. =(

What does "counter sink the tenon" mean?

I'm smoking some BC in my new Ropp Silhouette prince. I like it! I have it in a tobacco jar I picked-up on the 'Bay. I'll post pix tomorrow in the purchase thread. Counter-sinking a tenon is actually just like it sounds: use a drill bit, by hand, to open the opening of the tenon such that it's funnel shaped. I imagine that it smooths out the air flow.
Wow, this BC stays lit and cool. The pipe, itself, is silent. I'm learning to time my puffs with my breathing and it helps a lot. Gaslight caught my eye and the description sounds good, so I was looking at that, as well. It caught my eye, because I like the movie so I got the reference. I still have a couple of tobaccos sitting around that I haven't tried yet: the Iwan Ries Three Star Blue that they sent free with the Ropp (another crossover, from the description), and the Comoy's Cask Nº 2 (a bit more aromatic). I'll probably get to them in the next couple of days. I'm only smoking a half bowl as its the pipe's first smoke, but this BC develops a bit as you go.:pi Thanks again for the help, everyone! :tu

I got a couple new cobs. Another mark twain, but bent this time to fit a churchwarden stem. Also the new 5th avenue diplomat. Just a taller version of the regular diplomat.

I haven't been smoking as much lately, because I recently got invisalign and it seems to really make them taste disgusting and I can only take them out for a maximum of 2 hours per day.

[WaRevo]

It is ok. Most people seems to slow down this time of year I think anyway. Most do to weather or could be just all the shopping lOL.....

Escudo I like it a lot. Not something that I would use as a goto but a every other day smoke is great. Hope you are all staying warmer then I am right now. WOW tonight going to be 1. burrrr.
Glad I smoke inside now. Before I would have to break out the Propane heater and stay warm while smoking even in the snow. Drive my son nuts sometimes because he don't like the cold lOL. He loves cigars so he would never miss a cigar time, Pipe he would be like na not this time lOL.... So maybe 2 a day where I was smoking 5 to 6.... Now while home I can smoke all day long no matter the year..

Next month is my 2 year Anni. I will have to get a nice cigar for my wife and I to enjoy our day.

Smoking some Escudo in a MM Cob today. Wanted smaller bowl then my normal 622KS. Very nice smoking pipe and tobacco combo as well..

I love those coins :) I just bought a pound and a half of PS luxury navy flake to put in my cellar. I'll post pics in the pipe related purchase thread when they arrive. I'm still trying to smoke what I have open. I only smoke a bowl every other day since I got the invisalign. Plus I've been smoking more cigars lately.

My pipe should be done this week if Mr. Crawford is still on schedule!

Dunhill Mixture 965 thanks to Stevieray. Nice smoke, the flavor really coats your mouth, not at all what I was expecting after smelling the tin. There's a nice mild sweetness to it.

Found some Anniversary Kake buried in the tupperware bin last night. I believe it was from before the blend change. Tasty stuff.

Last of my H&H AJ's VaPer in a cob. I like H&H and I like the AJ's. But I don't really have room for this blend any more since I discovered Escudo, Marlin Flake, and Fillmore. Of course I guess it's no crime to let my next tin of this sit for a few years if it takes that long to get back to it.

So much good tobacco, so little time!

I'll try it soon and let you know. I haven't really had a GLP blend that I haven't liked though. Although I don't think I've had any with Cavendish yet.

Laurel Heights to break in the new Savinelli. It smoked great! Jury is still out on the filter though. Are the filter adapters worth buying?

A bowl of H&H Marquee Sweet & Savory. Nice pipe blend. Floral notes and mild sweetness which gave way to "Haddo" like flavors. This all settled in when the Kentucky Dark Fire mildly started to jump in to the mix. Second half of the bowl, the flavors kept jumping back and forth to the end. Easy to keep lit. Really a nice smoke in the Mark Twain cob:pi

Laurel Heights to break in the new Savinelli. It smoked great! Jury is still out on the filter though. Are the filter adapters worth buying?

No idea regarding the adapters Brian. Maybe another can answer that...

Some Escudo folded and stuffed into a Ropp Lecture classic strawberry. I also put a couple of Denicool crystals in, as the Escudo was right from the tin and a bit moist. They're doing a good job, not a sound, cool and dry.

Penzance. I couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about and it's pretty good. Multiple changes all through the bowl. Some puffs sweet as mcclelland va, some oriental blasts like squadron leader, all with a latakia undertone. Not a lat bomb. Complex and tasty. If you have a chance, try some.

I have about a half a tin left. I'm reluctant to smoke any more until I can source some more. It's hard leaving it alone.

Nothing wrong with referencing the web page Bill. They are simply "out of stock" in both the 8oz bag and 2 oz can. A number of online suppliers are "out of stock" in this particular product...

Drat. I was going to get some to try!

If I find any, I'll post it. Mars is also out of Penzance, but they have other Esoterica blends in stock.

[The.Sheepdog]

Yes please. I have looked all over even small local shops. If it is that hard to find it must really be good!

Nice and cool on the patio this morning. Father Demsey's Blend in the MM Mark Twain while enjoying a cup of Brazil Bobolink Brown:pi

Have a great Monday everyone...

Finally finished off the Laurel Heights today. I have a little bit of Escudo left and then I'll be cracking the Haddo's I have tucked away :)
