***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
Finally trying out the last pure Virginia blend in my cellar that I hadn't smoked yet, Peter Stokkebye PS402 Luxury Twist Flake! I'm giving it a try in a Dr. Grabow Royalton.puffy I had put off trying this one for a long while since the tin note absolutely reeks of artificial popcorn butter...- Skippy B. Coyote

Cornell & Diehl Yorktown in a Dr. Grabow Lark This week I'm learning how dramatically red Virginias improve with even just a little bit of age! When I first cracked open a tin of Yorktown about 3 months ago I found it to have almost no tin aroma and a flavor so light it was almost like hot...- Skippy B. Coyote

American Made Pipes
Smoke what you like, and like what you smoke. There's a lot of very talented American carvers if you're looking for something fancy, but if you just want a good affordable utility pipe that smokes well it's hard to go wrong with a Dr. Grabow Royalton or a Missouri Meerschaum cob.puffy- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
Trying out Newminster No.400 Superior Navy Flake this morning, in a Morgan Bones Milan. I didn't give this one quite enough dry time for optimal tasting, on account of the humidity here being 93% and nothing really drying well at the moment, but in spite of that it's still a pleasant smoke...- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
After getting thoroughly knocked down a peg by that 1792 Flake I haven't felt overly inclined to smoke any especially strong blends since then, so today I've just been sipping away on some non-threatening pure Virginia blends that I know won't put me in bed with nicotine sickness for an entire...- Skippy B.

Trying out Peterson Flake in the Morgan Bones Milan this morning.puffy When I'm smoking a pure Virginia I always like to try to identify what the primary flavor note is. In Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices it's lemony citrus, in Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia it's fresh baked bread, in G.L. Pease...- Skippy B. Coyote

Cornell & Diehl Briar Fox in a Morgan Bones Milan for me tonight, with some cold brewed iced coffee with a little milk and sugar to sip on.puffy At this point in my pipe journey I've been smoking my pipes on a nearly daily basis for just about two years, and in that time I've accumulated a...- Skippy B.

Trade Away Your Cellar
I have way too many blends jarred up in Ball jars in my cellar at this point due to the past few years of trial and error figuring out what I do and don't like, 87 by the count I just did, and I'd honestly like to get rid of the vast majority of them. It's about 130 ounces altogether, so figure...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
I was planning on just smoking very light blends today after last night's 1792 wallop, but then a package arrived in the mail with some samples of Gawith Hoggarth Dark Bird's Eye and Kendal Kentucky, so here we go with Dark Bird's Eye in the Grabow Lark! 😅 I immediately like Dark Bird's Eye...- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
Smoking some Sutliff Pumpkin Spice in a Country Gentleman cob this morning, since last night's 1792 Flake really put me down for the count and left me with an awfully nasty case of nicotine sickness after just ¼ of a small bowl. After smoking other strong tobaccos like Royal Yacht, Irish Flake...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
As I get towards the tail end of my selection of strong blends to try, tonight I'm sampling Samuel Gawith 1792 flake in the usual Bones! It took about 8 (eight!) hours to dry enough to smoke after rubbing out a flake since the humidity is rather high here in Minnesota, but my patience was...- Skippy B. Coyote

The Coniston Cut Plug actually doesn't seem to have ghosted the pipe at all, so no worries on that one! I don't think I smoked enough of it to leave a ghost.puffy- Skippy B. Coyote

Bosun Cut Plug is on my list of blends to try! I really need to get my hands on some Dark Flake Aromatic too, since I've heard Dark Flake packs quite a wallop in the Vitamin N department but is still really smooth and enjoyable.- Skippy B. Coyote

Tobacco for Breaking in a New Pipe- Suggestions!
I'm also in the "smoke what you like" camp, though I will say that Carter Hall burns quick, cool, and leaves a particularly thick and neutral tasting cake so I think it makes a great blend for breaking in new pipes or de-ghosting an estate pipe. For green tasting cobs or any pipe that has an...- Skippy B. Coyote

Trying out some Gawith Hoggarth Coniston Cut Plug for the first time this morning, in a Dr. Grabow Lark. I've always heard lots of people describe Lakeland blends as soapy tasting, but I've never found that to be the case. I've had Ennerdale, Kendal Black Cherry, Rum Flake, Bob's Chocolate...- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Dr. Grabow Royalton to start my day! I was actually wanting to have some more Peterson Irish Flake, but Irish Flake first thing in the morning on an empty stomach seemed like a potentially unwise decision so I went with one of my usual morning blends (typically...- Skippy B.

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
I think I may have understated just how tasty Peterson Irish Flake is, because I'm now on to my second pipeful of it for the day! This blend is really growing on me a lot more quickly than I thought it would. The flavor is a touch odd with that little bit of Lakeland style essence and licorice...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***
This morning I'm trying out some Peterson Irish Flake for the first time, in my usual Morgan Bones Milan. To put it simply, it's good! I'm finding Peterson Irish Flake to be extremely similar in flavor to Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired, with it's woodsy barbeque pit smokey dark fired Kentucky...- Skippy B. Coyote

Honestly not all that great. The addition of Kendal Dark just made the Cult Blood Red Moon kinda dirty tasting, and while it did increase the nicotine content substantially I felt like the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. 😅- Skippy B. Coyote
