SG Skiff Mixture in CAO Meer

 

[JSPiper71]

It’s a long weekend here in Canada. Have a beautiful piece of prime rib in the sous-vide so dinner will be easy tonight. Going to relax with some 1960’s era Edgeworth RR packed in my Barling Nelson poker. Drink is a generous concoction of what I call a ‘Beezer’. Think beer based Bloody Cesar (Bloody Mary with clam juice for you American’s not in the know) but stirred with Mezcal, pickle juice and beer, etc, etc. DM me if you’re interested in the recipe.

Was it the pipe, or smoking the pipe? Are you now alergic to clay?

@woodsroad Smoking the pipe. Only ever smoked tobacco in clay pipes apart from trying a briar a handful of times!

Twilight Mixture in the WVSS branded prince, forces of nature sent me packing inside.

 

[The Clay King]

Glad you like it mate

@Birddog66 If I put the Burley blend in my Sillem's Musketeer tin will it keep until next month as the tin has already been opened?
Also, will my tin of SG Black Forest be OK as it's been open about a week or two?
I could put the tins in sealable bags (reusing them, no single use plastic with me!); will this keep it fresh?

Now smoking Watch City Beta Test #4 in the third pipe I bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight dark brown French briar Hadley NEBPC apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Go on Amazon, @halfdan, and get yourself some heavyweight Mylar ziploc bags. Or transfer the baccy to a canning jar. 4oz jars will hold a 50gr. tin.

Solani aged burley flake in a Frank Axmacher. This is my kind of tobacco! Wish it was more readily available, but at least I got 4 tins.

Somehow I’ve lost that jar of rubbed out aged burley flake, what the heck did I do with it? the first time I lose a jar of tabacco it has to be this one???

 

[Birddog66]

Ive never had a pete taste bad.
Maybe soak a pipe cleaner with everclear or 151 and swab out the stem really well.
Bristle swab the shank and burn some serious Virginia through it.
Only time I got a funky ghost was
After someone burned a cigar butt in one. That really funked it up.

I think it’s some of the stain leaked inside the bowl, it’s not briar taste for sure but it seems to be burning off. I might leave some sea salt in there for a couple of days though.

 

[Birddog66]

I'm sure the pipe's causing my coughing / wheezing...

It shouldn’t unless you’re inhaling Dan, probably a summer cold.

Breaking in this sweet Morgan Bones with some good ole Smoker’s Pride vanilla cavendish …the bourbon is going to get opened up too - not bad for a Monday! Cheers!

@Birddog66 Many thanks!

Yes mate that should be fine for a month or two easy.

Granger all day in the Weber Old Standard. Bracing for the Buccos - Braves 4-game series which starts tonight. It could get bloody! Those boys in Atlanta are having a helluva season. Let's go Bucs!

Awesome!

@Birddog66 Need to save some baccy for when I meet the blacksmith again!

Ive had some stain funk before.
That could possibly be the cause.
Sanding cloth on your finger and a few twists will remove it.

 

[Birddog66]

Probably the last one before I call it a night, ODF in this Dr Grabow Commodore Dublin with a Piraat double fermented 10.5% abbey brewed blonde beer. Yes it’s bloody good.
