Tonights Smoke II - FOR PIPES

[dmkerr]

First it was C&D's Three Friars in a Savinelli Hercules. Good VaPer with added burley (VaPerBur?). Nice pipe! Now it's Balkan Sasieni in a large Ashton Pebble Grain. I'm not sure why I bought this tobacco since I was never a big fan of Sobranie white, even though I know it's reached classic status. It's ok but I'll probably offer it up for trade on the appropriate forum shortly.

My new favorite aromatic:

Wilke's famous No. 515. A blend of ribbon cut Virginias and toasted Black Cavendish, or as the Wilke sisters described it: " exotic tobaccos aged in a rare Jamaica Rum - smooth, mild with a delightful aroma"

Smoking it in my Trypis 1/4 bent apple

Tonight its the classic original From Morton. I'm smoking it out of a big canadian. Its labeled WOLF London HH then has a W with a dot underneith it. The bit has only a chrome metal ring inset in it. Not sure who actually made it. I havent been able to find anything about it online.

It's very odd to me. Not a shape I am drawn too at all. Big bowl though. Nice wood for sure, I got in a 3 pipe trade I did with a guy. Smokes nice so far..

to the bottom left of his user information in the post (under his name, post count, etc), you'll see 3 graphics. one of them is a silve square with a checkmark and an "X" inside it.
click that. a pop-up appears, you choose to give or deduct RG, then give a reason why (or don't).

done.

i may need to hit him up as well with some "puffer gauge".

haven't smoked it yet, but i'm going to at lunch. GLP Telegraph Hill.
it's been a while since i had an open tin, but i just opened one this weekend. i wanted to post about it n a review thread, but there are none.
it seems that my first two tins of the stuff had really wide tobacco leaves, not standard ribbon cut. more like these were just giant leaves that someone tore and threw in there. just overly large chunks. they packed and lit easily, and always tasted good, so i just figured that's how it's suppose to look. it was just different shades of brown, from light to chocolate, and a couple specks of black.
after opening this other tin, i was amazed at how great this tin looked. the tobacco was a nice reddish/brown hue, with dark mixed in - amost a velvet look to the tobacco. and it was an actual RIBBON CUT this time. totally different appearance in the tin, like they were different blends.
can't wait to try and see if they taste the same now.

This morning SG FVF in a Bjarne brandy. Later plans are afoot for some SG St. James flake in a Petey Rhodie.

New shipment of 'baccy should be in today and I'll probably try some GLP Haddo's Delight. I've struggled to find a GLP blend that I like but I'm hoping this is the one. They get such great reviews that I should like them but so far I've found them ho-hum.

Pipeworks & Wilke#515 in my Trypis

[Dedalus]

No smoke tonight, got too busy and by the time I looked at the clock I realized I had enough time to post this before getting to bed if I wanted to be functional tomorrow. Man, isn't this why I started pipe smoking in the first place, so slow down and enjoy life a bit? Humphf, yes. So it goes. Perhaps I'll have a smoke on the walk in to work tomorrow: still working on that tin of Old Dublin, enjoying it less as I go, though. It's starting to taste a bit too much like stale cigarettes. I'm looking forward to my backordered Westminster (I'm still at GLP virgin) and some VaPer samples to send me down that long and hopefully glorious road.

[Big D KC]

Tonight started off with my last bowl of a sample of C&D Bayou Night from EvanS! Had it in a 1/8 bent Hilson Avanti. That was good stuff, thanks bud! I will be ordering more of it!

Now I'm onto some 965 in a bent Mario Grandi!
