August 2010 - What are you smoking?

[bubbadreier]

Sterling Tobacco's Bargain tobacco in my Amphora.
The blend has a nice spicy and sweet taste, different but pleasant :D

Billy Budd in the Dr Grabow Golden Duke, smooth full bent I snagged in the antique store a few days ago. It cleaned up really well. I have to say it's the nicest looking Grabow I've seen and smokes pretty nice. Pleasantly surprised.

I never got to smoke my Escudo Thursday night. So I smoked it tonight (last night? Damn date change after midnight!), and all I can say to describe it is...WOW! I can see why it's so highly regarded! It was a very pleasant smoke out on my deck listening to the crickets and the damn yippy dogs next door, (for what was really about 10 minutes, but seemed like an hour) but they weren't pleasant... It seemed I had to relight often, though. I think the "Bob Method" of packing might be the culprit. Or I could be doing it wrong...

Cortez thank you for the review . PS Swiss in a Ampohra pick axe . I like this blend no goo and it keeps me out of the cookie jar .

Hey Lordnoble,

If it's Navy De Luxe you're smoking... take the time to break it up by hand into small bits, fluff it up a tad then pack very carefully. Those coins can be problematic using Bob's method for flake. It will smoke very well in the manner I described above.

I usually smoke it in smaller bowled pipes, and then usually only one coin at a time.

Aidan (furandfeather), good luck fishing. Do you mean to say that FVF is unavailable in the UK too? !!!

Thanks for the info, pstlpkr! But to clarify, should I use a 3-layer, Frank, or a combination method?
This morning is Peter Stokkebye B&B in my MM bent Cob.

Had my first bowl of Balkan Sasieni just now. What a nice smoke that was. Just the right amount of nicotine and the flavor was awesome.
