Had part of a bowl of outlaw while at work rest of the bowl ended up on the floor board of the work truck when the stem broke. Got to love well maintained parish roads. Had a bowl of wallstreet when I got home.

[BigFrank]

Finished off a bowl of Laurel Heights. Been using the DGT method and I rather enjoy it.

[Sawyer]

Haven't touch my pipes much since I moved back in January, but I pulled them all out and made up for it with a vengeance today. Had bowls of LGF, an unmarked mystery jar with a few bowls of a curly cut that I believe was Three Nuns or Heinrichs Curly Cut and a bowl of a private blend that is described as "Made of the finest Red and Bright Virginias, a pinch of extraordinary Izmir Oriental leaf for spice, pressed and cut into flakes, with a hint of Burley to shut that one guy up". They were in a Tinsky apple, a Stanwell 191 bulldog and a Tsuge brandy respectively.

Smoked a bowl of Yorkshire blend from The Briary in Birmingham, AL. Great way to unwind.

Final pipe of the night. St. James Flake in my MM Legend Cobb!

[WyGuy]

GLP Westminster in my Boswell.

[Emjaysmash]

G&H Westmoreland in my nording.

This is a mild blend, with thick smoke which leaves a syrupy coating on the palate. The flavor is of mild tonquin (sort of a mix of vanilla and slight cinnamon) and subtle latakia which gives a slight spice through the nose.

Room aroma is that of a sugar cookie. I am on the fence about whether or not I like this tobacco. Its almost too mild for my taste.

[AD720]

Let's see, last night I smoked a bowl of Scottish Whiskey in my MM Country Gentleman cob. Before that, the last few nights, it was Christmas Cheer 05.

I can't wait to get my new (to me) pipes and get smoking.

[Emjaysmash]

Smoked a bowl of Throroughbred, a local english mix.

[AD720]

Now some Butera Pelican out of my MM cob. Very mild.

[BigFrank]

Second round of some McClelland's 2015 that I found stashed away.

[AD720]

Last night I tried both of my latest purchases, 1st Ashton Artisan's Blend and 2nd Holt's house blend "Jerry's Creed". Both are English blends and were very good, albeit a little mild but I am chalking that up to the spicy bbq chicken I made for dinner.

[AD720]

Tonight's smoke was some GL Pease Union Square in my new (to me) Chadwick bent bulldog (thanks again Jonathon).

[groogs]

Just finished a bowl of Old Gowrie. I really enjoy Virginia leaf, and this was no exception, although I did find it to be on the mild side. I noticed that it didn't have the bite that I expect from Virginias, and I don't know how much Perique is in this blend but I didn't really pick it up.

[BigFrank]

Chelsea Morning. This blend has really grown on me. Smoking it in my tsuge which I had originally attempt to use for VA blends, but I found that english blends are shining in it.

Tonight I'm smoking a bowl of GLP Westminster...go figure.

I might have to give it another try. For some reason anything with Cavendish in it turns me off.

Tonight I tried some Ashton Consummate Gentleman out of my Duca Carlo. Liked it a lot, I am really digging the English blends. I'm going to make a concerted effort to try something different next time I smoke.

[Emjaysmash]

I just laid out a couple coins of Escudo to smoke later tonight... I haven't had some Escudo in a while; I'm excited!

Tonight some Full Virginia Flake in my Dr Grabow Omega. Very good.

Smoked a bowl of Halav V Dvash yesterday, and a bowl of C&D Chocolate Cav in my Kaywoodie Saxon.

[madirishman]

smokin a bowl of C&D briar fox...first time with this blend...im impressed with the sweetness on the finish

overall i like it

[BigFrank]

C&D Epiphany, not too shabby. My 2nd bowl this blend is diverse, certain tobaccos seem to jump out and run. First bowl was all burley with some VA's bleeding through. Second bowl was latakia and perique.

Last few days been smoking C&D star of the east. this is supposed to be a knock your socks off latakia blend. But to be honest, it's lack luster. Trying to find a nice latakia blend in bulk to stock up on. I'll just keep some odyssey on hand for now.

[yellowgoat]

One of my favorite all day everyday smokes, Orlik Golden Sliced in a Design Berlin that I just received today.

[BigFrank]

C&D Star of the East. Got a little more of this blend left. Tried a new pipe tonight. Nothing special yet. Might call this bulk blend a bust. Shame it's damn cheap. Just doesnt really do much for me, it's got a ton of latakia in it. But it's like the latakia just doesnt have much flavor.

[Emjaysmash]

That's a gorgeous pipe!

Thanks Jared! I am really enjoying it!

[WyGuy]

Had some Westminster earlier tonight. Been a while since I had the pipe out, been smoking a lot of cigars lately, but it was a nice change of pace!

Balkan Sasieni last night and a little more this morning with some coffee. For the price this might be my go to Balkan blend. Good stuff.

Hello, all. This is my post introductory posting, so I thought this thread would be the best kickoff venue.

I'm smoking some PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Cavicchi "C" dublin. Although technically not a VaPer because of the cavendish center, I place LBeF on my top five VaPer list, alongside Escudo (big surprise there!), C&D Bayou Morning, H&H Louisiana Red and Solani 633.

It's good stuff. Good right out of the bag, but my LBF stash improved considerably with some time in the jar. If you decide to go beyond the sample, buy enough to cellar some in a mason jar for awhile. I hope you like it too.

Been thinking about picking some of that up myself. But I'm no a big fan of cavendish.

What ya think of the sutliff blend?

[Emjaysmash]

What ya think of the sutliff blend?

It a basic English/Oriental blend that is enjoyable, but it wont keep you on the edge of your seat. Kinda like a yard gar, you smoke it while focusing on something else. I keep my 50g tin out on the porch just in case I don't like a what I'm smoking at the moment so I can just dump the bowl out and fill it with this stuff.

Might have to pick up a tin to try. The price is right on the blends they offer. Although I think after going through most of G.L.Pease's line most others fail in comparison...

The little cavendish heart is just there for some background condimental sweetness. But if you don't like it, try PS Luxury Navy Flake instead, which is basically the same as LBF minus the cavendish bullseye.

Had a pipe for the first time in awhile (normally a cold weather pipe smoker) with some Briar Fox in my new Cavicchi. That pipe is amazing. Might buy another one down the road somewhere...

[Zeaward]

sounds good, I've got a ounce coming to try ope it's as good as u make it sound.

Well, at least to me it's every bit as good as I made it sound. YMMV of course. This is a road all of us must trek by ourselves, as our body chemistries differ and so do our tastebuds (some of us have more, some have fewer of them). I had a bit of an adventure with that order. They sent Victorian Stroll, an English blend, by mistake. They immediately made it right and sent me the correct order a few days later. It turns I also like the Victorian Stroll anyway, so it's all good to me. :tu

Right now: PS LBF in a Cavicchi C dublin.

[BigFrank]

Awesome Ed.

Went to the local ( 25miles away ) B&M today. Pick up some of their house blends. Trying some "14k" right now. It's a golden VA ribbon with a light topping. Think I might have to pick up a new pipe to dedicate Aro's too. One I have now is a cheap yello bole and it makes most taste the same...

:tu:td

To be honest I notice only traces of it in the tobacco I find it mends well with the perique. I get the VA's then the sweet / spicy runs in and out of the smoke. So far so good. I just grabbed two disk stuffed em into the pipe and went to town. Still smoking it as I type. I think that most blends use too much cavendish maybe that's why I did not care for it too much.

Might need a brother to split a box up with. Dunno if I'm game for another case of jars...

Presbyterian Mixture in the Sasieni Four Dot Burton, a Ruff-Root (sandblast) bent billiard that I bought new back in 1978.

[BigFrank]

P.S. Luxury Twist Flake. Not sure what to make of this blend. It seems to have some sort of casing on it. It's extremely sweet. I'm not sure it it's from the cavendish "pressing" done to the flake or not. The room note is not too bad. Maybe a change of pace smoke, but I dont think it's something I would load up on...

[BigFrank]

Two bowls so far tonight.
1st bowl of Louisiana Red from pipesandcigars good Va/Per Blend. I like the range on the VA's. Will be getting more of this for sure.
2nd bowl is Ten to Midnight another blend from P&C. Latakia krumble kake of sorts. I first tried to break pieces off and sit them in the bowl and smoke similar to a flake but that was a massively bad idea. I dumped the baccy and rubbed out the kake now it is smoking like a dream. Good Lat blend but isnt quite a Lat bomb. Good for when you want a good shot of Latakia but not so much. Definitely going on the pound purchase list...

[Zeaward]

Presbyterian Mixture again, in a GBD 5th Avenue (Made in France), a diplomat shape. Good first smoke of the day. TGIF.

I tried some GH Sweet Rum Twist in a no-name apple today and lived to tell about it. I guess all the cigars have prepared me for the stronger pipe tobaccos.

[BigFrank]

How do you like the P-lip? I've never smoked one but they sound intruiging.

I've only smoked 1 bowl so far. It definitely did as it's supposed to, directly the smoke to the roof of my mouth. Which proved good for the VA Flake I was smoking since I tend to puff heavy on VA Blends. I'm going to have to give it a few more smokes to make a real decision on the p-lip.

I've been smoking my new corncob i/o cigars for this week. So far I have tried Tobacco Barn aromatics from their sampler #1. Also "Merde de Cheval" just because of the name. Liked the aromatics especially, the Horse Sh#t had a nice aroma, not so nice taste. I'm REALLY liking the pipe! I think THIS is the DARK SIDE!

Had some Frog Morton on the Town. Stuff was damn good. But was missing something. Going to get some FMOTBayou. Maybe that little bit of perique in there will make it a block buster.

Also cracked open a tin of Mac Baren's Roll Cake. Smoking it right now and I am not very impressed. Going to give this a few more smokes, than maybe on the trading block. So far Dark Twist definitely is where it is at.

To celebrate the Jewish New Year, and the conclusion of Shabbat and Yom Kippur, I'm having a bowl of Peterson's University flake in my Israeli Alpha.

I snuck out at lunch and smoked a bowl of Three Oaks Syrian that made Monday seem a little better.......
.
.
.
.....wait for it....
.

.......and then managed to not just drop my pipe but shut it in my car door, snapping it into two pieces! :mad:

Luckily it was just a cheap $20 Kaywoodie I picked up on ebay, but Monday still sucks!

[BigFrank]

Smoked my first bowl of Erinmore Flake. Damn tasty smoke. Going to pick up a few more Burley / VA Flake blends to try. I've had some burley blends but they were ribbon cut, I don't know if the pressing of the tobaccos makes that much more of a difference but I really enjoy the bowl I had.

[B.L. Sims]

Had a bowl of MB London Burly Blend this morning, a perfect pick for the cooler weather we are getting into.
The best way to describe it is this:
It reminds me of a hearty stew. Its bold, flavorfull, and thick, with a rich warming aroma not unlike roasted pecans.

GLP Westminster, favorite blend at the moment. Any recommendations to something similar to this?

Frog Morton is a VA/LAT blend that comes highly recommended by most. http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=F&TID=768

Sutliffe Private Stock also makes a blend named "Westminster" which is also VA/LAT. Which might be worth checking out due to the price.

"Balanced, poised and sophisticated. Cyprus Latakia is layered with fine Virginia tobaccos and small leaf orientals, then pressed, sliced, and tumbled into ribbons. More savory than sweet, with classic structure, medium body, and captivation complexity. Meridian is the perfect companion for a mid-day stroll, or with the afternoon tea."

Lol From what I can see some pipe tobaccos fly off the shelves in a ridiculous amount of time!

Ya I think that's got more to do with the maker than the blend.

Tudor Castle and then some Early Morning..

Tried my first bowl of Vanilla Creme Flake this morning. As expected the room note was amazing, maybe a little too sweet for me though.

I may try blending a little with some straight virginia. If I can cut down on the sweetness and retain the room note I may have a winner.

[MarkinAZ]

Some lite drizzeling rain coming down earlier this morning, and enjoyed a bowlful of C&D Habana Daydream:pi

Yah it is pretty good stuff. I definitely want to load my cellar full of this stuff. But I have an order of bulk coming in thats about 4 pounds of stuff, so Union Square might have to wait until tax time...lol

[Curly Cut]

it is good stuff.


been going through a tin of Escudo from '05 on this exercise. (for some reason i wrote '07, but the date shows '05).

[BigFrank]

Smoked a little of a blend called "Unique from a local shop" I pretty damn sure it's Lane's 1-Q either way tastes decent for an aromatic.

Has anyone compared 1Q to Butternut Burely? Are they similar at all?

[hotreds]

Still going through various sampe bags from various online stores. Ebony from Tobacco Barn was good. So far have not liked too much of the Pipes and Cigars stuff, tho.

Totally different.

Have you tried either yet?

Union Square and Laurel Heights last night. Had some trouble with the Union Sq. last night. But this is usually how it is for me when I try to smoke flakes just stuffed into my pipe. Didn't let it dry out enough and didnt load the pipe well enough. Oh well still tasted good. Laurel Heights keeps getting better and better each night. I read a good article from G.L.Pease about first impressions of tobacco ( http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/put-that-in-your-pipe/the-fickle-nature-of-first-impressions/ ) and I've been smoking the same blend in the same pipe each time.

I've had the Butternut Burley. I really liked it. Never had 1Q.

So I got 2oz of Sugar Barrel and had a bowl of it to and from the bank today. It bit me. and it tasted like plastic and air. I'm hoping drying it out will help.

Heard a lot of good things about Sugar Barrel hopefully it doesnt suck for you. As for the 1Q, it's one of the better aro's out IMMO.

I'm planning on probably using it to mix with other tobaccos, Tambolaka for instance.

[BigFrank]

Try tossing it in a Heavy Perique blend. I've done this a few times with some good results. Granted I'm not a huge burley fan. McClellands #2015 is decent for this.

I want to find more burley blends, because I feel like I would enjoy them (I know Univ. Flake is a VaBur with a slight berry topping, and I really like that, as well as Butternut Burley).

Give Erinmore Flake a shot. It's a Va/Burley with some kind of topping. Has a floral note but is rather enjoyable. Also theres Orlik Golden Sliced. Its more of a sweeter VA with burley but it's not bad either. The only other Bur/VA blend that I have had an enjoyed was Kingfisher, but it's been rather hard to find online recently. I've got a tin of Exhausted Rooster and Burley Flake #3 still sealed in the tin I've been thinking about opening...Cumberland from G.L.Pease gets a ton of rave reviews too.

I have Erinmore, 1Q, and Orlik on hand and open if you wanna set up a trade. Unni flake is on my want to try list. Shoot me a PM if ya wanna set up a trade.
