What Are You Smoking Pages.

Smoked a bowl of GH Kendal Dark in a Personal Reserve Pipe - a bent Dublin.

Ranger 107 - I tried it and liked it. It's not a complex smoke, very straightforward. I ordered 10 tins of it from P&C yesterday to take advantage of the sale.

Notice P&C has Orlik Old Dark Fired on sale. Anyone tried this? Opinions? Thinking of getting a couple tins, one for now, one to cellar for a year or so.

Just had a bowl of Orlik Dark Strong in an Alpha Centurion to refresh my memory. It's good enough that I've gone through a tin a year since 2015, and I've tried it fresh and with three years in tin + 1 year in jar and for me it is always tastiest when fresh and full of flavor. I just don't see that it "develops" or makes sense to cellar with the idea of aging it. By all means put a tin on your order, but I wouldn't load up unless you already know you love it. That's just my take on it.

Thanks guys, ordered 2 tins planning on one for now and one to cellar but per your observation may just smoke it all when I can.

FMOTT in a Georg Jensen hand carved with some Crown Royal. No great sunset tonight but life is still good.

Last bowl tonight. Figgy Pudding in a Road Town pot. Cream sherry aside. Not a bad way to end the day..

C&D Burley Flake #2 in a Peterson B5

 

[Brunello]

Peretti Omega in a GBD Seventy-Six. I've enjoyed this recently but today, in this pipe anyway, it didn't satisfy. Up next: John Patton Dark Horse in an English Ben Wade.

Mother nature finally cooperated, allowing me a first smoke of 2021!! 2-year-old Embarcadero in an Askwith sandblast bent. FTRPLT

Smoking some 2016 Christmas Cheer in an Ashton Brindle XXX.

 

[Ranger107]

Some PA in a RoadTown stack billiard. Still trying to find a tobac that this pipe likes. Smokes hot with just about everything. Only good smoke from it so far was Stokkebye LNF.

First pipe of the day is a Sunrise Dublin filled with John Patton Oriental Dusk.

 

[Brunello]

Wilke Commander in a MM Mark Twain.

 

[Ranger107]

Rivendell in a Pete Rosslare. Second bowl will be cowboy coffee probably in the Stanwell brushed black from P&C..

 

[Ranger107]

Cowboy Coffee in the Stanwell. Just cannot believe how well this pipe smokes. Definitely in my top ten and will likely move into the top five with a bit more breaking in.

 

[Brunello]

It's been a Wilke day: a steady crescendo from good, to better, to best . . .

Morning: Wilke Commander in a Mark Twain cob
After lunch: Wilke 400 in Brigham with maple insert.
Just now: Wilke Crystal Palace in a Design Berlin Siegfried (with non-filter adapter)
Later: have a bowl of Wilke Sailor Jack loaded up in my wide bore (0.9") Charatan 489.

Just finished a bowl of Ashton Artisan's Blend in a Dr. Grabow Eldorado Zulu stained red. My brother found this pipe in a barn and gave it to me. After cleaning it up, it smokes GREAT!

C&D Exclusive in a Peterson 304

 

[Corncobcon]

G&H Kendal Black Cherry in a MM Missouri Pride cob.

 

[Brunello]

Had my Sailor Jack after dinner and then remembered I had a little left in the bowl of Crystal Palace from earlier today. I used to be fastidious about emptying the bowl and running a pipe cleaner through, now the pipes lay around for a couple hours until I can deal with them. Wondered how the Palace would be as warmed up leftovers - excellent indeed, very creamy and concentrated of flavor toward the bottom of the bowl. Made even better by a side of Brugal 1888 rum. Can't decide which is the better sipping rum this or the 15 year aged Rhum Barbancourt. Will have to do a comparison once I get settled in my big chair (in case I don't get back up!).

Buona notte signori!
