[physiognomy]

Escudo in a Jirsa tonight...

[petewho]

Tonight will be my first bowl ever - Golden Cavendish - no idea what it is or what it's supposed to taste like. It was recommended by another patron in the B&M while I was buying my pipe, so I bought 2oz. I'm adventurous.

FWIW, it doesn't smell "good" to me. It's interesting. Smells nothing like a cigar. I'm half-tempted to grab a flake and chew on it to see what it tastes like (does anyone actually DO that???).

Got some cleaners, a Czech tool, matches, and a fellow Gorilla to fire-up with tonight. Wish me luck.

Oh, question - Pipe w/ Golden Cavendish first? Or cigar first?

[DrDubzz]

I say pipe first

cigar might overpower it

[DrDubzz]

PS bullseye flake, I like it!

[TheTraveler]

Fox & Hound (Altadis) - another of the free sample tobaccos. I'm really enjoying this one.

[DrDubzz]

I'm on a roll today

MB Vanilla Cream Flake now

I'll probably call it a day here, but maaaybe something else tonight :D

[drob]

Banana Nut Cheerios! :D

[Hydrated]

Rough day today... traveling on business... long day at work.

Warmed up the evening with a bowl of Lane's BCA in a cob.

Looking at something stronger to put me to beddy-bye. That Bracken Flake is staring at me. Maybe I'll burn it in my Stanwell Nordic...

[Dgar]

Banana Nut Cheerios! :D

[Joan]

Finished off a little left over local blend, Brigadoon, from Paul's in Portland...

now while waiting in the Vashon Isl ferry line for the next boat, having a bowl of McClelland 2015 in the Kirsten I keep in the Herf Bus.

Excellent morning bowl after a wild night of partying and herfing on the island. Aaaaaaah... [blows smoke out the window, sun on the water, beautiful day on Puget Sound]

Yummy. :pi

[TheTraveler]

I just filled my Savinelli with Dunhill Royal Yacht. :pi

[mugwump]

I enjoyed a bowl of Shortcut to Mushrooms in a brand new Meerschaum this afternoon. I forgot how much Latakia was in this blend and have been tasting it ever since. Still good though.

[petewho]

Dunhill Elizabethan mixture

[petewho]

Dunhill Elizabethan mixture

Since I am smoking little 1/2 and 1/4 bowls to cake my pipe, when this was done I loaded the cob with Bracken Flake and am smoking it now. And it is good stuff.

[DrDubzz]

peterson university flake

first bowl of it, pretty good so far

[DrDubzz]

update, about halfway through the bowl and not really liking it anymore. I think I"ll smoke something else to finish with a more pleasant experience.

I think I might cellar this for a while and hope it improves

[Mennald]

Started the evening with butternut burley in an Ashton bulldog and decided to end it with Boswell Christmas Cookie in a Castello bent egg. Both were equally nice smokes.

[DrDubzz]

how is Christmas cookie? it sounds nice

[Mennald]

how is Christmas cookie? it sounds nice

I like it. Has a vanilla cookie/creamy tobacco taste to it. Smokes dry, no bite, and the room note is great. Very high "wife approval factor".

Boswell's Peaches and Cream and Berry Cobbler are very good aromatics also.

Now that the weather is getting cooler my pipe smoking is becoming an indoor activity. This forces me to switch to wife approved tobaccos such as those mentioned above and Butternut Burley. I prefer a nice, smokey, latakia laden, GLPease, English kind of blend but she can't stand them. Life is full of little compromises.

[DrDubzz]

Life is full of little compromises.

aw shucks honey, well ok, I guess I'll just smoke this inside instead

[Mr_Wolf]

Christmas Cheer 07 in a Boswell.

[petewho]

local B&M house bulk blend "Medium English". My limited pallet would classify this as a mild English compared to some of the tinned tobaccos I've tried so far, but it's still nice.

[Python]

Just finished some GH Top Black Cherry a little bit ago.

[a2vr6]

Had a Samuel Gawith Cetlic Talisman the other night, the stuff is fantastic. Really nice aromatic that I can't seem to get enough of.

[Buckeye Jack]

Smoking a bowl of Mountain Mall Mix. It's a blend picked up at gatlin burlier tobacco shop in Gatlinburg, TN. This is the 2nd bowl I've smoked since picking it up this past weekend. I really like it.

[physiognomy]

Tonight I wrapped a flake of Orlik Golden Sliced with some Wessex Burley Slice... Reminds me that I need to add some Stonehaven to my next order :pi

[petewho]

Sunjammer! :dr

[DAFU]

Packed a couple flakes of SG Chocolate.............really hits the spot!

[petewho]

Junkyard Dawg in a Comoy's

[Python]

Smoking some SG St. James Flake.

[DrDubzz]

I tried the altadis blends Aldukes hooked me up with, Blue Note and Midnight Smoke

both were good, but man they left the bowl soaking wet, I will use these sparingly, my other prefered Aro's don't muck up the bowl anywhere near what they do

[petewho]

Had me some Peter Stokkebye Navy Flake over the weekend, and it was good!

[physiognomy]

Amongst other things, I smoked a bowl of Iwan Ries Gourmet English tonight... Good stuff!

[DrDubzz]

had some MacBaren's Virginia No.1 with 6 mos age on it

it was fantastic. I'm glad I have about 99 more grams of it :pi

[petewho]

Yesterday was C&D Star Of The East in the Comoy's and today was Medium English (probably Altadis renamed to house blend bulk from B&M) in the Sav Natural.

I am trying to get rid of all my ziplocks before I crack into the tins.

Wessex burley slice in my sanblasted Jirsa tonight...

[DAFU]

Wilke #10..................:pi

[physiognomy]

I think I'm finally 'getting' this Escudo stuff (now that my tin is almost empty)... Folded a couple of coins & twisted them into my Jirsa tonight. Topped with some fines it lit right up and smoked great to the bottom. Does anyone else notice a big difference in flavor with this blend when you don't rub it out?

[Dgar]

Finished off my first bowl of McClellands Navy Cavendish, this morning.

I didnt detect any rum flavors like I expected, it had a very light if any casing, I did enjoyed it, sort of had a woodsy taste, either that or I was smoking the briar. Not sure if its worth the extra bucks, yet, the jurys still out. heck I'm still enjoying a little Prince Albert and Carter Hall. The Tin smelled like ketchup.

[MTB996]

Don't laugh, but right now I am smoking Cappuccino and it is pretty darn good. It also makes my garage smell AWESOME!

[RevSmoke]

Last bowl I smoked was some Cornell & Diehl Orthodoxy. It was a blend they did for me, but no longer able to be made because one of the constituent tobaccos is Syrian Latakia - no longer available.

I have about a pint of the stuff still cellared.

[12stones]

Just finished a bowl of McClelland's Venidje Supreme that I got from joed and it's been awhile since I've had one. I'd forgotten how good it is.

[BigFrank]

GL Pease Haddo's Delight.

yuummmmmmy :tu

[DrDubzz]

another quick bowl of MB Vanilla Cream Flake

[BigFrank]

another quick bowl of MB Vanilla Cream Flake

How does that compare to the non flake, Vanilla Cream?

[groogs]

I have not smoked a pipe in awhile, but I decided to pull out my Nording Free Hand and load it up with some 2006 Christmas Cheer.

[DrDubzz]

How does that compare to the non flake, Vanilla Cream?

I don't know, I have some loose cut on the way, as well as another tin of the flake, but I've only had the flake so far. I enjoy it, I imagine they're reasonably similar

[BigFrank]

I don't know, I have some loose cut on the way, as well as another tin of the flake, but I've only had the flake so far. I enjoy it, I imagine they're reasonably similar
Ok, was just wondering. The cream was foul for me. Debating about giving the flake a try.

[DrDubzz]

just had a half bowl of MB Navy Flake in my brand spankin new T. Christiano

it was alright, but dang, it had a nic kick

[BigFrank]

Have a bowl of SG FVF packed and ready to go in bout 30 min or so.

[Emjaysmash]

Bowl of Thoroughbread, a local english blend.

[Asher]

Had my first bowl of Haddo's Delight. Half a bowl, actually; I'm breaking in my new Savinelli.

[BigFrank]

just sparked some GLP Cairo. So far so good.

[12stones]

Nothing at all this week unfortunately. If the weather holds up tomorrow, I'm definitely having a bowl or two. I have to break in my new pipe.

[12stones]

Okay, just finished a bowl of balkan sobranie in my bulldog. I think I'm going to dedicate that pipe to the sobranie (though I only have one pouch right now). I'm dying to break in the new pipe, but it was quite breezy outside.

[DrDubzz]

Had some McClellands Navy Cavendish in my Christiano

and then some Larsen Signature in my Sav Churchwarden

[DubintheDam]

RX how do you find this blend? I'm working my way through two tins from 1994, I wondering about ordering a few new tins, I love the blend, it really grows on me.

[DrDubzz]

The Navy Cavendish? I enjoyed it, nice smooth, rich virgnia flavor with a hint of rum/vanilla. It was nice, but it was only my first bowl with it, and in a new pipe, so I'm sure my impressions will evolve

[Slow Triathlete]

Tonight will be some Low Country Tobacco's Wacammaw.

[BigFrank]

Tonight will be some Low Country Tobacco's Wacammaw.is this the begininng of the va/per+ extras showdown???

Think I may smoke a little haddo's delight tonight. I should have ordered a few tins of it with my recent TAD. This blend really grew on me.

[mugwump]

I enjoyed a bowl of Autumn Evening in my Savinelli natural while reorganizing the tobacco cellar. I'm still on an aromatic kick with no end in sight.

[TheRealBonger]

having a nice bowl of sg black xx, with a cup of tea. What a way to end the night. :pi

[Big D KC]

I decided to finish off the rest of my sample of purple cow. It's a very interesting blend to say the least. One minute I like it, the next it turns on me, then back to good again. I'm on the fence about it. I'm guessing I would probably buy more if I was looking to round out an order somewhere, but probably wouldn't seek it out before buying others I'd like to try first.

Finishing this last bowl of it in a meer..

Today I made a mistake! I decided to crack open the little container I have been keeping of all the little odds and ends leftover scraps. I been just putting them in a container since I can't bring myself to just throw away those last little bits. Lots and lots of misc stuff.

Well long story short, it sucked. lol I finished the whole big bowl of it, but wow. Better luck next time??

I'm still breaking in the Beraldi so it was a half bowl of the matured ribbon again. Love that stuff.

good thing it doesn't taste like it.

[12stones]

Broke out the Karl Erik today and had some Matured Ribbon. Trying to finish off this first tin. It has a bite if you smoke it right after a BBF. Oh, and the Karl Erik isn't as much fun to smoke when I first got it. It's turning out to be a gurgler.

Managed to get in a couple today! It was nice! Smoked some H&H AJ's VaPer earlier in a Hilson #215 bent brandy. It was very very good!

Now I just fired up a bowl of H&H Anniversary Kake. Unfortunately though, I let it sit out to dry a little longer then I had planned tonight so it got to the almost crunchy dry stage. :( I'll give it another go tomorrow and not let it get so dry! Smokin pretty hot, I think Ill set it down for a few to cool down.

[Curly Cut]

Hal O' th Wynd in a Sasieni 4dot bulldog. i mistakenly thought i had HOtW open every so often when it was Old Gowrie. now that i have them open, side-by-side, there's a definite flavor difference that i'll never mistake the one for the other again. i prefer HOtW due to the sweetness of the VAs that comes through more.

[Nick]

I didn't like HOTW much because I thought it was a bit bland. Old Gowrie is a bit more "edgie" and complex to me and I like it better.

[Curly Cut]

really?
i'll do a real side-by-side comparison. i think OG just seems a little more dusky, dry, and straw-like. i got more sweetness out of HOtW.
i doubt it was simply from cleaning my pipes over the weekend. ;)

[Nick]

We have different tastes i guess. It would be interesting to do a blind review of these two with a couple people.

I really want to crack open a new tin but feel I have way too many open at the moment. Thinking about it now I'll go fer the last of my 2002 of McClelland No. 22 Virginia!
That was the first tobacco I ever smoked in my Neerup so I might as well finish the tin with it! :D:pi

Telegraph Hill in a Sasieni prince/author thingy
How do you like that compared to fillmore? debating about ordering a tin of Tele Hill.

[Curly Cut]

funny, someone asked me that earlier today.

i prefer Fillmore.
to me, Fillmore is sweeter (although it can hard to find it with all that Perique in your face). they are about even on Perique strength, with Fillmore being stronger, if i remember correctly. just that Telegraph Hill seems more 1 dimensional, where Fillmore has an underlying sweetness that you find as you get use to the blend. first time smokers of fillmore can't seem to get past the power of the perique (similar how i am to heavy latakia blends, that's all i taste is the latakia). i need to stock up on more Fillmore.

you want a bowl or three's worth of Telegraph Hill - PM me your addy.

I'm having my first encounter with Butternut Burley. First impression are that it is a very good desert or morning smoke, I could definitely puff away on this while I try to wake up and shake off the cob webs.

Today was my first taste of Old Dublin in my Savinelli. This stuff burned beautifully and tasted pretty good too. Not bad.

[dogsplayinpoker]

Telegraph Hill. I have been smoking this stuff almost non-stop since last week sometime. Excellent vaper, though this tin is aged and has muted the perique a bit.
Thank God I have some more coming in. My early work commute would suffer without this in the morning and evening.

[yellowgoat]

McClelland Navy Cavendish. Yummy stuff.

[Starscream]

I bought 4oz. of cavendish from the Tinderbox yesterday. Smoked a bowl today. First time trying cavendish. I found it decent, but kind of boring. Any insight for a pipe tobacco noob on cavendish tobacco?

[12stones]

Yesterday I had some Balkan Sobranie in the Peterson bulldog. Didn't get to a bowl today.

Christmas Cheer 2007 in a Peterson "Shannon."

Trying to finish this tin so I can move onto Dark Star. This tin is like the never ending tin!

[BigFrank]

Smoke two bowls of Telegraph Hill yesterday. Hoping to get another bowl in tonight and write a review.

And Gasp, Greg I think I like it a little more than Fillmore :D

[Curly Cut]

that's cool, at least you know what it's like now.

forgot what i had this morning... oh, Blend B...
and on the way back from work, Three Nuns from the 90s.

[BigFrank]

that's cool, at least you know what it's like now.
Ya its a good blend. I would like to see a blend with the same VA and more Perq ribbon cut like TH is.

Tinderbox cavendish

[Nick]

Key Largo in my Stanwell bent dublin. Speaking of that I need to post my review.

[Big D KC]

Yesterday was H&H AJ's VaPer in a peterson zulu, today's to & from work bowl is SG Commonwealth in a mini bulldog. Dunno if I will stay up later tonight to have another smoke or not. Teething babies are hard on the sleeping habits!

did you think TH or Fillmore had more Perique in it?
i think they're close to equal, with Fillmore having a slight bit more. i could be wrong, though, been trying to keep my hands off the Fillmore recently.

Fillmore definitely has more perique in it. The TH was much softer on the Perique end of things. I only truly noticed it in the blend towards the bottom half of the bowl, and it was very small. I tried to puff on the TH a little hard to get the spice but it was only ever a whisper. The FIllmore on the other hand if puffed to hard is not very forgiving.
Plan on smoking two more bowls tonight then posting up the review.

[12stones]

Had a bowl of GL Pease Westminster in the Karl Erik today. Not sure what I'm gonna smoke now...

[12stones]

Now it's a bowl of Old Irish in the Savinelli. The jury's still out on this baccy.

[Curly Cut]

golden glow in a BC lovat.
i know someone wanted to try this (chad), but i won't torture anyone with it.
don't waste your money, which is the only SG blend i can say that about that i've personally tried.

[BigFrank]

Thanks for the heads up on that blend. Been on my radar, was most likely going to end up in my current order.

[rharris]

Boswells bear blend in a pete kinsdale bulldog.I must say it is pretty good stuff!

I'm having a bowl of a special aro blend I recieved from my local B&M in my Savinelli 806 rustic Canadian. So far this is the best aro I've had in 40 years of pipe smoking.


Mike:D

[Big D KC]

lol @ Curly! Luckily my brain spasm went away and I'm good again with the snorking! Dunno what that was about I literaly couldn't do it for some reason. I swallowed enough smoke by accident on the way home last night I almost didn't feel well when I walked in the door!

Today's transit smoke is Boswell's True English (I LOVE this stuff) in a Castello Squat Pot! Dunno about tonight yet..

[12stones]

Nothing for me today unfortunately. Did have two cigars though.

[Starscream]
