Tonights Smoke II - FOR PIPES

[David M]

Its gonna be a nice day today.
Started it off with some Rattrays Accountant. Moving in right now to some Pease Robusto, drying some Lane, Westminster and Artisans Blend for later.

Sitting here with Carter Hall in my bent Dr. Grabow along with a small glass of Crown Royal. After a rough day at work, this is just what I needed!

Smoked Artisan's Blend for the first time last evening. It started out with a flavor I didn't care for at all... hard to describe, I'm guessing it was Latakia? But after a little while that particular flavor vanished and I found it enjoyable.

Experienced the same flavor the other day when I tried to smoke Westminster, so much that I didn't finish the bowl. Maybe I should give it another shot...

In fact, I think I can´t really evaluate the nic content of a pipe tobacco, just it's harshness on the throat, which is not the same thing... although once I had a bowl (of SL I think) before breakfast and got a real punch in the head.

I just might disagree with you on the nicotine levels. I have found that the best Vitamin N comes in the following Five Brothers, Buglers, 1792, Irish Flake and Bracken Flake. One time I smoked 1792 and Irish Flake back to back and damn near passed out.

I do like that 1792 and love me some HOTW!! Gonna have to try the 5 Brothers and Fillmore now!

Smoked a bowl of Gawith Hoggarth Bulk Dark Flake Scented for the first time today in my cob. I rolled the flake & stuffed it into the bowl. I find the perfume from the tobacco a little over whelming. I do like the aroma & taste of the flavoring when lit. I could only make out the licorice part & not the tonquin & maple of course I could be wrong. As being flake, it burned nicely. I probably could smoke this blend on a regular basis.

A delicious blend of PA and HH Mature Virginia in my favorite Stanwell. I should be in bed, but I don't want this bowl to end.

I started to smoke a bowl of H&H Daybreak, but when I popped open a Moosehead, the combination was ghastly. Maybe it's just me, but English mixtures don't seem to work with beer. A switch to Prince Albert made everything alright. What? I wasn't going to dump the Moosehead!

[dmkerr]

Brindley's Mixture in a Charatan Belvedere and Brown Clunee in a L'Anatra.

[Dedalus]

popped a tin of escudo this morning, should be ready to go by the afternoon/evening hours.

[Requiem]

Been smoking virginias almost exclusively, Capstan Mild and BBF... also a bowl of Standard Mixture or Squadron Leader before bed.

[KevinV]

PA/Mature Virginia blend in my meer right now. The same blend earlier in a couple of other pipes.

[azpostal]

Had another one of my samples. I think it was HH Mature Virginia or just Virginia flake but either way it way great!

[QWKDTSN]

Full Virginia Flake in my Sav billiard with a Rangpur and Tonic... lovely

[louistogie]

Trying some half and half. So far this seems to be way they all taste. I hope I'm doing something wrong.
