***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

Cimette Brissago?
I take it that's one of Italy's own Kentucky blends? We never hear much about Italian pipe tobacco, being a fan of Toscano cigars I imagine the pipe tobacco would be pretty good.

The Cimette Brissago come from Switzerland (Brissago a town in the Canton of Ticino). They are cigar stubs rolled and left to dry, mainly composed of Kentucky and a smaller quantity of Virginia, very tasty. Imagine the tip of a Tuscan with the length of an inch, you have to crumble them to use them in a pipe.
We talked about it here

I'm trying to figure out these VA blends. I packed a full bowl of GL Pease's Union Square this morning around 11. I've left it and come back to it around 3 times now.

Hell who am I kidding? I'm trying to figure out pipe smoking in general! Am I smoking too slowly? I don't know that I could realistically finish a bowl of anything (but definitely a VA/VaPer which is supposed to be smoked slower, right?) within a 2 hour sitting.

I know there's nothing intrinsically wrong with setting it down and coming back to it like I've done today, I'm just curious if I'm an outlier.

As far as the blend goes, I'm definitely enjoying the flavors I encounter and am trying to be more discerning with what my palate registers. Trying to appreciate the subtleness when compared with something like an English blend.

Got the potatoes, onion sets, beets and carrots planted this morning. With all my chores done for now, it’s time for a relaxing smoke. I’ve got the Peterson Killarney bulldog B5 loaded with some Sutliff match 20.
And a cup of strong black Kenya tea with honey And a piece of my wife’s homemade baklava!

Was talking fishing and Danish pipes with a friend the other day and I realized I've been neglecting mine:

Neerup Quarter-Bent Panel Pot w/ a spinning reel and silver fish ???

Keepin' it smokey with a bowl of 50/50 mix KBV River of Deceit and Morning Burley.

That pipe is so cool.

St James Flake in my birthyear Dunhill stack. This tin was opened new, so I could judge the current state of SJF. It’s still a great blend.

I can assure you this is totally normal - 'delayed gratification technique' is quite common, especially with Va's/VaPer's

Finished up a bowl of PS Luxury Twist Flake in a Peterson Derry 68 just now on the way home from a brunch gig - now drying out C&D Opening Night, going to smoke it in a Rattray's White Goddess meer --cheers folks!

I’m smoking Cringle Flake 2021 in a no name billiard meer, with a tall glass of ice water on the side. Enjoying a perfect Spring day on the porch, watching the neighborhood buzzing with outdoor activity.

Almost finished smoking Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Time to zoom with my pipe buddies.
