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.

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.

peterson university flake

first bowl of it, pretty good so far

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
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.

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 12-12-2008 08:16 AM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
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.

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

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
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.

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

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.

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.
