Here is the February thread.
Get to smoking and posting!
Capt. Black Gold in a Cob. Tastes a bit peppery.
Local blend Skip my tobacconist calls 925. Very close to Dunhill 965.
I haven't smoked yet.
Ghost45 Said: I haven't smoked yet.
Me either, lol.
C&D's Americana: Burley, Latakia, Va., and Cavendish.
Samuel Gawith FVF out of a COB
McClelland's bulk 5120: Fragrant Virginia Ribbon . The blend description is somewhat understated, saying, "Stoved Va. Cake & Red Matured Va." What I got was a complex medley of dark fruity flavors that ranged upward, into the realm of pear, apple, and even orange rind. Naturally sweet, with a solid tobacco-ey flavor. The aroma in the sinuses and in the room was amazing. Medium vitamin-N content. Non-aromatic! Burns cleanly into a dry, pale-gray ash that pours out of the bowl. DGT's very well.
Captain Black, white wrapper.
Good honest smoke.
"Stoved Va. Cake & Red Matured Va."
AHHH I love Red Virginia's
Frog Morton in a straight brandy.
Bennington Custom Blend No. 10, Bahia Apooke
Old Belt Golden Virginia Ribbon is hand blended with a substantial amount of delicious Cyprus Latakia. Long cuts of St. James Perique are added along with a small amount of Kentucky White Burley for additional smoothness.
Freakin' amazing!

Good man Bob!
McClelland's bulk 2035: Dark Navy Flake described as "Pungent Cake," Eastern Belt Lemon Leaf and cutter grade tobacco; aged and lightly stoved. Jet black broken flake with a rubbery, leathery texture that's hard to rub out properly. Dense and difficult to light. Vaguely sweet, pungent, fermented, orangey taste well worth the effort; and the citrus-like tartness lingers in the finish.
Smoking some H&H Anniversary Kake.
smoking Rattrays 7 Reserve in a Carey freehand , a wonderful medium english smoke
Well, since I have had the day off, ( snow day lol.) and just logged onto this forum for the first time today, I will start with this morning.
I enjoyed some Ashton's "Consumate Gentleman", after breakfast. Later I switched pipes, and had a bowl of Middleton's "Walnut".
I just finished some "Perfection", by S. Gawith. All in all, a nice relaxing day at home.
I feel very fortunate to be able to enjoy different belnds throughout the day. I don't know how some old timers I know, can stick with one blend only. Day in and day out.
Maybe I grew up in a more affluent time than they, but I like to keep at least 4 blends of tobacco handy. At a minimum. I would be hard pressed to choose only one.
I agree Max. I love pipe smoking and while, if I had to, I would smoke just one blend all of the time; I do not understand, with the variety of pipe tobacco available these days, why some people choose to stick with one blend all of the time.
I am not saying that they are wrong. As long as they are enjoying it, that is great. But I love variety and love to smoke something different all of the time. SG Perfection is a great light English smoke.
But back on track. Smoking some more H&H Anniversary Kake.
Macbaren Vanilla Cream in my Brigham voyager. A good vanilla blend that's not too aromatic. Nice.
McClelland bulk 5115: Old World Classic Cake, described as a blend of Lemon and Orange-red Va.'s enhanced with natural fruit essences.
This might be a very delicately topped blend because I can't detect any characteristics of a true aromatic. Taste is in the red Va. family, perhaps a little lighter; but there's a full bodied tobacco flavor throughout the smoke. I'd say this is only somewhat fruity and not all that sweet.
Frog Morton in a straight brandy with a bamboo shank.
Capt. Black Gold in my small Italian.
All the talk about small pipes lately made me break it out.
I must say it's much easier to drive w/ the small pipe !!
Last night was some (pipesandcigars.com) Scotty's Bulk Blends Old Red.
Bought my first tin of Orlik Golden Sliced. Smoking now, and this tobacco is scaring me. I feel like I may have found my favorite tobacco ever!!

I can relate though. I am again smoking Bennington's No 10 in a Charatan, and damn I'm just floating away to happy land.
I think we have past the kissing stage. I am headed for home plate, baby!!!

Last night was some McClelland Holiday Spirit 2008.
This morning was some PA in a cob. I'm thinking about SG squardron leader in my viking for my next pipe, I will enjoy it I only have about five bowl left of it.

Question here why does everyone smoke captian black , royal , the white pouch , or the gold pouch ? these's are cheap tobacco's and you get what you pay for i guess .

K, forgiven...
McClelland's bulk 2035: Dark Navy Flake (pungent cake). Remarkable semi-sweet orange rind flavor here ...in a bent pot.
Smoking McClelland British Woods, a great English blend.
Everyone is a lot of people.
One can be a gentleman without being a snob. Same as, one can have class without money.
Nording Hunters Blend Pointer in a Nording silver band billard . Hey I like my Nording pipes .The dumbest man you will ever meet will teach you something . A saying from my great great grand dad from Sweeden .
I just finished my last pipe of the day.
I had a bowl of Middleton's Cherry Blend. I like that tobacco usually, but tonight it tasted pretty bad. I switched pipes, and it still tasted bad. I couldn't figure it out.
Then I happened to notice that i was puffing to fast. I have had some personal isuues going on today that left me a little pissed. I guessed that I was puffing way too much and way too fast. I slowed down and started sipping the smoke, and the old flavor I like started comming back.
So, everything is right with the world again. Lol.
I wonder if that is the reason one blend can taste different for different people. Everyone smokes a little differently I suppose.
Anyway, goodnight all.
Nice Observation
I received my order of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake. Smoking it now, and even though I have smoked good flake its absence, it still reigns Supreme.
Yeah Max, when I was going through cancer, I had many things on my mind, and it was hard to smoke slow. At the same time, I may have lost it entirely had I not been able to have a nerve settling smoke.
Pbgoldwing55 Said:

Because around here we go by the old saying "Smoke what you like and like what you smoke" and we REALLY mean it.
The best tobacco in the world is whatever blend that you are enjoying at that time.
The best pipe in the world is whatever pipe that you are enjoying at that time.
Price has nothing to do with it. It's about how much you enjoy a pipe and/or blend, not how much you spend on it.
I love a nice steak with a glass of wine, but a burger on the grill with beer or soda is great too!
Back on topic.....
I am not smoking anything right now, lol.
C&D Afterhours in a Radice Rhodesian....life is good.
