Sunny and 63* on the patio this morning. Kind of nice to wear a lite jacket while enjoying a pipe this morning. Packed a half bowl of John Patton's Storm Front in the "no name" bulldog.

Now, on to water the garden and carve a pumpkin for later this evening:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Took a little time off from work this afternoon, packed the Charatan's Make Perfection 489DC with some McClellands #2015. Excellent stuff:dr

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Love that pipe Mark! I could contemplate it while smoking! Endless paths to follow all over the carved perfection!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks Bill. Its one of three meerschaums that's really a pleasure to burn pipe tobacco in:tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Gorgeous pipe Mark, quite a treasure.

I'm getting to know GLP Navigator. Nice tobacco but I haven't found the right pipe for it yet. Still searching for the sweet spot.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks for the comment Seth. You'll know when you find the right pipe for the Navigator. The CAO meer above and the Charatan Makes Perfection 489DC are two pipes which seem to enjoy what ever I pack into them. Which is a good thing. I have another meer which I'm still trying to find out what it prefers to burn:D

So....

I decided to pack some Dunhill Royale Yacht in the AND meerschaum Volcano this afternoon. Good stuff!

This morning early Trout Stream in a Baraccini. I have really gotten fond of Trout Stream.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Very nice Patrick...

Bill, which Baraccini do you have? I've been eyeing that black sandblast bent billiard at P&C...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Peaches and Cream, in a Boswell Poker. Was high 50's this morning and delightful.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Starting the day with some C & D Drive Time (thanks stevieray!) in a cob, says it's not an Aromatic but boy it sure has a plum or sweet fruit smell to it.

Just lit up some Old Gowrie in a Gresham Giant Apple briar. Very tasty!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Last night has a bowl of Dunhill DNR in a Stanwell Sixtus, I did the rub instead of trying to fold and load, it was really outstanding.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Had a bowl of Frog Mortons On The Town. Very nice mellow smoke. Think I may need to work on my rate of smoking. Last couple smokes I've gotten some gurgling.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Luxury Bullseye Flake in the Savinelli, love this stuff not quite as strong or flavorful as the Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls, but a really nice easy smoke and who can complain about the bulk prices :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Just had a bowl of H&H Eggnog. My first time smoking an aromatic. It was sweet with some spicy floral notes, and at the end it was very creamy and earthy. Not sure if I was just imagining eggnog! I enjoyed this however it was very mellow compared to what I imagined an aromatic would be like in my imagination.noveral though it was very enjoyable. Only had one relight too!:noon

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I have yet to jump into the aromatics, God knows I have enough of them to sample now ... bastards ... :lr I think I'm going to use the Twain Bent for aromatics to start, just designate that as a "gooey" pipe.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Yeah I have designated one of my pipes as the aromatic pipe. Just makes me need a few more pipes for each category.:D

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Trying some Boswell's Best (thanks Steve!) in the Twain Bent. My first aromatic, the tobacco has a very sweet vanilla smell in the baggy. Easy and cool smoking, very very very mild, not what I would expect from an aromatic, the room smells like a vanilla candle has been burning, very strong room note (much stronger than the actual smoking flavors), it's that vanilla with a hint of cocoa or chocolate. I seem to get more flavor sipping on it a couple little sips at a time rather than big pulls and massive clouds of smoke. So far no gurgle, even though I don't think I let it dry enough before trying it.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Wonder if that's a common belief. Can one of the vets out there comment on this?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Tonight I had a bowl of the Peterson's Holiday Season 2015 (Thanks, Neil!), wow it is a a thick moist aromatic, a lot of raisin and berry smell out of the bag. Smoking it in the Twain Bent, it's a very sweet, thick smoke with a lot of that berry flavoring, I can honestly say "to me" that the room note is almost like blueberry pie. :sh

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Puffing on Squadron Leader as I type.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Smoking my first bowl of Vermont Meat Candy. Really enjoying it. Nice smokey flavor with a very pleasant sweet aroma. Burns incredibly well also. Haven't relit once.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Mississippi River in the Stanwell Sixtus, really like this stuff looks like a purchase is coming

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

:tu good stuff indeed

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Esoterica Dorchester in my Gresham. More full bodied and straight tobacco flavor than other blends I've had so far.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

When I take those huge puffs I think it's a bit too much for me to really pull out the notes that's all, it's overwhelming a bit, with the little sips there is only a bit of smoke and I can really 'think about it' while I'm enjoying my pipe.

Today during football a bowl of Penzance (bulk vs tin) in the Country Gentlemen (bent), I really enjoy this shape pipe, good feel in the hand.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Hobbits Weed out of my MM country gentleman while completing health insurance reimbursement paperwork. Blessed to have this blend so readily available.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I've been thinking about trying this stuff out. Wasn't sure if it would be as good as the hype I've read. Might have to order it now.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Dunhill My Mixture 965

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

McClelland Christmas Cheer from '13. I have to say it have been the best pipe tobacco I've tried so far. If anyone has any they'd be willing to sell I would gladly buy it from them.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

almost the last of my Trout Stream. Almost the last of my Anniversary Kake. What is this world coming to? I best order tomorrow!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Christened my Peterson Fisherman 69 with some Carter Hall.

Christened my Polinski with some Half 'n Half.

Finished with SG FVF in a cob

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Just opened a tin of Frog Mortons Cellar. Had a bowl of it in my Weber Blackthorne. This might be my new favorite tobacco. Nice whiskey flavor with a subtle Latakia flavor in the mix. I really enjoyed it.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Good morning pipers, some Penzance in the no-name billiard this morning before the Seahawks/Vikings game:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

New supply of trout stream and Lane bulk BCA. Lovely day here in Central Florida. was like 68*.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

...and life is good once again:D:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Peterson's Holiday Season 2015 in the Twain Cob - Like smoking a cherry or berry cobbler, dessert in a pipe.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Is this the Scotty's blend on P&C?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

which? Trout stream? Yes. It is so awesome. Sweet and butterscotchy. The BCA i sweet and just a little wet. but dark and luxurious.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

A little Owl's Head from 4noggins in an Eaton cob this morning. Very nice Lat mix, I should restock and put some away for down the road.
I went back to try Star of the East again last night. At first I found it a bit abrasive, tasty but very rough around the edges. With a little age on it (6-9 months) I'm finding it a little rounder, less harsh. With the difference found in a few months aging, I'm thinking this is another to buy and just put away for a couple years. The orientals pop now whereas they weren't as prominent when fresh.
