***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

[hawky454]

So after my first smoke I decided to do something that may be controversial to the pipe... I took my Dremal tool out and cut the stinger off just after the threads, sanded it real nice and it’s still a perfect fit. I filled it up with Condor Plug and now it smokes like a dream, a nice open draw! I realize that this can devalue the pipe but I don’t ever plan on selling it, if anything, I would pay it forward to another pipe smoker some day. I’m one happy dude right about now!



Cheerio!

Funny I just was reading this review earlier this evening. I enjoy Original Oriental and wondered about this VaBurPer (or however it's categorized).

Mine will be changed in the next day or two. It'll be more accurate and rated higher.

St. Bruno in a Pete System Standard 306. My first impression is that this delicious. Would have like to try to original but this is a definite keeper. Martini accompanies.

Agree! It’s one of my favorites fo sho! I had tried the original Ogden’s St. Bruno RR version a while back. Think Dark Birds Eye shag cut (actually found it similar in flavor too) plus the famous floral, complex, beautifully crafted sauce, so in short it was a much more stout, nicotine heavy blend than the current version. The modern day stuff is top shelf in my book and it is by far the deepest cellared blend I have. I’m glad you are enjoying it! It ages quite nicely too.

I can’t remember, are you a Condor man as well?

Haven’t tried Condor. MB St Bruno flake reminds me a bit of Ennerdale. A solid medium - enough to be satisfying without overwhelming. I have 19 tins after cracking this one. I will probably get more.

Fried chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit for supper (guess which Colonel’s house I stopped by to pick up supper); since I was too lazy to cook, I had to prep something in the kitchen.

G.L. Pease Jack Knife Plug. I cut it coarsely and gave it a loose rub. No drying necessary, it was just right the way it was. I’m sipping on this from the same Stanwell Duke I posted an image of earlier. I think my visual acuity is sharpening as I make my way through this bowl ...

Enjoyed a tasty peach, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a 2003 medium bent straight grain military mount Two dot 2 P. Ardor Venere Extra Bucaneve signed by Dorelio Rovera with a silver ferrule and a black acrylic stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Friday night dessert! Popped a tin of Solani 633 flake, folded and stuffed into a Stanwell Bulldog. Bulleit Rye Manhattan a perfect compliment. TGIF!!
