An H&H vaper, Louisiana Red in a Rattray's ¼-bent bulldog.
BTW, nice score, Vitor. 4noggins is a great place to do business with.

Nice score Vitor! Since you are using Photobucket, you can resize your pics there. They have an option where you choose what size you want to make your photos.
Last night was some CAO Eileen's Dream.
I'm not too sure about this one. I will have to give it a few more smokes and then if I still feel the same, I'll switch pipes to see if the flavor profile changes. So far I am not picking up much, if any, Irish Cream flavor.

Jonesing's Dark VaPer Trail.
Approximately 60% PS 701 + 25% Kendall Dark + 15% Perique.
Not bad. Needs something. Or maybe less of something. Part of me says it needs more Fire Cured and part of me says it needs more VA.
But actually very very tasty with a Monster Blue energy drink.
Mmmmmmmm...... Perique.

Jonesing, 15% sounds like a lot of Perique. Does the other leaf stand up to it?
Which Perique do you buy? (I favor McClelland's, but it's moist and not too assertive.)
P.A. in a GBD bulldog.

Yeah it stands up pretty well. And my guess at 15% is guess based on small batch blending with no real measuring except for big, medium and small "pinches" and "handfulls". But I'm pretty close on this.
And even though I really really like Perique...it's not overly dominant flavor wise. The KD is pretty bossy stuff and tends to be the centerpiece. High nic from the Periique but just about right. You could feel it but it stopped short unpleasant. Of course I do smoke perique in some cigarettes so I'm probably fairly nic tolerant.
Right now I'm using McCelland bulk from P&C. I dry it down and rub it out to small pieces.
I've been a half assed blender for awhile now but just getting into the pipe. So I'm learning what's different about this format. In this case I think I have the Perique too dry. Bowl burned just a tad hot and I think it was the Perique vs. the PS as I was first to suspect.
Anyway...it's fun and I did find this a pretty good smoke to my inexperienced pipe palate. Made up about 3-4 bowls worth and I'm already looking forward to the next ones. Typically a good sign.

Jonesing, I don't know if you noticed in Bob's interview with Russ Ouellette, but he got into blending not by concocting original creations, but by tweaking existing blends. Maybe you're onto something here. Keep at it!
Still on P.A. this evening.

PS701 burns hot as the gates of well you know . Mixture Modern in a Nording got a new Nording coming from Marty .
H&H VA Spice in a very oldddd Comoy - On to Anicake later in ...ummm probably a bent Italian Meerschaum lined I got off from ebay. I was able to snag two pipes for under $15 that smoke beautifully.
Wow! Whoever got that order from 4 noggins - scored in a major way. I would recommend picking something mild and working yourself up to grand finale for the day. A full Latakia blend would be in order or a full perique. Enjoy Friend.

This morning I am smoking a legend. A gift from a fellow member: Very cool.
I am smoking Escudo Navy De Lux, and it's heavenly. A great Va/Per with a sweet and sour, fermented taste. It reminds me of my grandmothers homemade fig preserves. Thanks man.

P.A. in a GBD 'dog, followed by H&H's Louisiana Red in a Stannie.
(Giving a few pipes the alcohol treatment using cotton balls instead of salt. Much less trouble; but I'll have to wait to see how well it works. Looks OK so far.)

Bella Vanilla from the CAO Flavours line. Not bad. Kind of a typical high quality Danish aro that needs to be smoked slowly.
