My first time trying it I really liked it. I shared some with my buddy today and he thought it was nice too.

I like this place. I may never have tried many blends if it weren't for info found here, trades or lottery winnings.

Last night I had a bowl of Light Flake. Tonight it was MacBaren Vanilla Cream in my meer.

[DrDubzz]

had some butternut burley/BCA mix in a meer tonight, just a quickie, hadn't smoked in a while due to illness

[MarkinAZ]

Yesterday morning some Boswell' Best...

[drob]

Mac Baren Navy Flake ('07) in a bent Pete - not as good as PS Luxury Navy Flake, but good enough to have around!

[Savvy]

Been smoking a lot of Boswell's Christmas Cookie lately, has to be my favorite aro.

Had some Westminster the other day as well. Glad its cooling down a little here, makes my pipes more enjoyable.

Some Classic Burley Kake to break in my newest homemade.

I received 2oz of Boswell' 'Bear Blend' earlier this week. Smoked a bowl this morning waiting for the sun to rise. An enjoyable 65 min. Every morning should be this fine:)

[Demented]

GLP Odyssey.

[Demented]

GLP Westminster.

Smoke both tobacco's for the first time today, for my taste Westminster might be a better morning smoke with coffee or tea, while the spice of Odyssey would be best after lunch.

This evening I'll try Charing Cross.

[TheTraveler]

Just finished a bowl of MacBaren Vanilla Cream. :pi

[alley00p]

Day off today!

Started this morning with a bowl of GLP Westminster

Around lunchtime, a bowl of SG FVF in a large pot.

Later, I had a bowl of Habana Daydreams...

Now, just finishing a bowl of PA...

Maybe some GLP Union Square later on...

And, I haven't wanted a cigar all day! :D

piccadilly in a stanwell bulldog earlier, Boswells burley in a bjarne dublin now, and if all goes right I'll finish the night off with blackwoods flake.

[Curly Cut]

Germain's Royal Jersey Perique Mixture in a K. Huhn Zulu.
nice flavors, still a tad muted due to humidity of the tobacco from a freshly opened tin. nearly a shag in cut, so it burn with ease even while too moist.
i think i've found the tobac that i'd use to break in va/per pipes with.

[Nick]

Escudo in my radice.

Low Country Waccamaw in my new Nording Freehand. Definitely has improved since I last smoked it. It's going nicely with some JBM blend coffee on the side. :D

GLP Westminster.

Smoke both tobacco's for the first time today, for my taste Westminster might be a better morning smoke with coffee or tea, while the spice of Odyssey would be best after lunch.

This evening I'll try Charing Cross.

I really like the GLP Westminster. I managed to garner a 16 oz. tin for around $30 over at Low Country when I visited there (scratch and dent sale). It is a very complex blend with leathery and earthy overtones. Very smooth, a veritable filet mignon of pipe blends. I look at Westminster more as an evening blend, it's full bodied and has a tendency to overpower the senses. A real experience when smoked. :2

ATL

[TheTraveler]

MacBaren Vanilla Cream while watching the first half of the Giants/Raiders game.

[Demented]

It is a very complex blend with leathery and earthy overtones. Very smooth... full bodied... A real experience when smoked. ATL

I fully agree with your assessment of this mixture, as to its being complex, earthy and full bodied.

While I can fully appreciate the subtle qualities of Romeo y Julieta Belvederes, Gamay wines and coffees like Jamaican Blue Mountain… My taste, run towards the like of La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero, Chianti and Cabernet Sauvignon, Bourbon and Grappa and dark roast Sumatran coffees.

A lighter blend of tobacco might be hard pressed to stand up to the full bodied cup of Sumatran coffee.

Cigar/Pipe tobacco and coffee parings might be an interesting topic.

I had received a tobak "bomb" a while back from Brad (Slavac) with a sample of Tinderbox Wilshire and a tin of Peterson Special Reserve 2009.

I had teased Brad about the nice box of potpourri that he sent me, but today, I decided to try a bowl of the Peterson in a cob (just in case). I was pleasantly surprised! :banger

Even though it smelled very "floral" in the tin, it turned out to be a nice mild mixture of Va and Cavendish. It was a very nice smoke! :tu

Thanks, Brad!! :pi

Smoked some Dominican Old Glory today. Being my first pipe in months, I kinda forgot how much I drool when i smoke pipes... :dr

[GWN]

Squadron Leader. Always seem to put my pipes away in the summer and start up again in the fall. Working my way through a bunch of blends RH Newfie bombed me with and about ready to dive into a tin of Dunhill London Mixture another brother hit me with recently :)

[MarkinAZ]

Some GLP Robusto this morning with a cup of Trader Joe' House blend coffee. Wow! What a very nice blend of tobacco this one is. The aroma simply captivated my nostrils this morning:D

[Savvy]

Half a bowl of McConnell's Scottish Cake in my Mastro de Paja, still breaking it in.

Followed that up with a bowl of Dan's Blend in my Boswell. Always good.

[MarkinAZ]

After a bit of a break this morning, later had the GLP Charing Cross. Love the fullness and nose of both the Charing Cross and Robusto...:tu

[MarkinAZ]

Placed a couple of disc of 'Escudo' in the Boswell Billiard this morning. Really enjoyed this smoke. Believe it or not, the aroma and smoke kind of reminded me at time' of the original Taboo SFO Robusto blend before that blend was downsized by Taboo.

:hmMaybe I'll have to mix a disc of Escudo with an equal portion of the GLP Robusto for a little experiment:)

A small question: I noticed a small "gurgling" sound emitting from the bowl from time to time. Moisture from the tobacco?

[TheTraveler]

Sat by the pond at lunch and enjoyed a bowl of St James Flake. :pi

I may order some more when my 2oz sample is gone!

Ok, another bowl of the GLP Robusto this afternoon...:)




What type of blend is that?

[MarkinAZ]

What type of blend is that?

Here's the background on GLP Robusto from the GLP web page:

http://www.glpease.com/Tobacco/Blends/Images/Robusto.gif
"For years, I've been intrigued by the idea of cigar leaf blends, but with one notable exception, nothing has really hit the mark for me, and the one that did, the celebrated Sobranie Virginia #10, has long been out of production. In mid-2000, I began flirting with different ideas, experimenting with different leaf, concocting prototypes, and quickly tiring of them, until, finally, I was shown samples of some exquisite maduro wrapper leaf that stimulated a new interest in finding my perfect cigar leaf blend. After months' worth of experimental recipes, I zeroed in on the blend I'd been searching for, and Robusto was finally born.


The cigar leaf would make an overly bold statement if blended with a heavy hand, but in just the right amounts, it provides an alluring spice, a suggestion of the richness of a great cigar, and a creamy texture to the smoke. Cyprian Latakia rounds out the flavors, and smoothes the edges. Ripe, red Virginias provides a modest sweetness while giving the blend structure. Oriental tobaccos fill in the gaps, and make Robusto a complex, full flavored and spicy mixture that is still gentle on the tongue. It's perfect with the afternoon coffee, as a delicious finish to a wonderful meal, or as a stout companion throughout the day.
And, it ages beautifully (http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=41)!


Robusto was introduced in November, 2002"


:pi

[DrDubzz]

had some Bombay Court in my new Altinok meerschaum earlier

been waiting 6 weeks since I ordered it, but it has finally arrived

[Savvy]

Enjoyed bowls of McConnell Scottish Cake and Boswell's Dan's Blend

I seem to always smoke those the same day. Works for me.

[DrDubzz]

had my first bowl of CC 2008

it was good, but I need to let it dry a bit before next time, it was fussy and I gave up half way through

[Curly Cut]

yesterday was...
CD Bayou Morning Flake - after 2 months of being open, the flavors have finally arrived.
Germaine's Royal Jersey perique - jury is still out on this one, other than this would be a tobacco to use if you wanted to cake up a Va/Per pipe.
Old Gowrie (from '01) - very flavorful, but this older production tends to bite a lot more than newer stuff. very tangy, almost annoyingly so.

this morning was...
McConnells Folded Flake - a very nice light burley. another tobacco that would cake up a pipe quick, it's pretty sticky and the flake falls apart in a near shag cut.

[Savvy]

Had a bowl of McConnell's Scottish Cake earlier, and have a bowl of McClelland's Blackwoods Flake sitting out right now for after dinner. Good smoking day.

[DAFU]

C&D Morleys Best...............great English/American hybrid. Good with a little added VAPER also.

awhile back before dinner some Margate in my newely designated English pipe... and now, some Fillmore, ALOT different for a Va.per than the Escudo... but I do enjoy it....Burning a bit hot but was a tad moist, An odd almost... Acrylic Plasticy sweetness if that makes sense haha...Cypress..... VERY smooth nose exhale... leaves a little tingling flavor profile, can't quite pin point what though...

alright i really gotta stop typing as things pop in my head ha, Cheers and good smoking-(edit) WOW i'm getting some Caramel.. dark bitter chocolate?

I have found that pipes with wider bowls smoke virginias and vaper's much better than pipes with narrower bowls. If I'm looking for a virginia or vaper pipe I generally look for something which is at least .85 of an inch in diameter and no more than an inch and a half deep. However if you are smoking a flake a smaller diameter bowl is better for flakes. This is all just personal experience and what I have heard other people say, not necessarily anything to hang your hat on.

Scottish cake right now by the way in a bent pot.

Smoked a blend I like to call "Hoyo de Hamberger". It is a blend we made at the Northwoods Herf II consisting of about 3/4 of a tin of Hamberger Veermaster and one Hoyo de Depute which was plugged at the time. Smoked it in my cobb. Wasnt bad.

*note: don't smoke this and drink a tangy wheat beer at the same time. tastes fine, just amplifies whatever possible tongue bite you may have (or what you didn't know you had).
