Saturday I smoked my pair of Ropp Geant pipes (total height is almost 2.5"), one of them being fresh from Smokingpipes.com and freshly drilled for an open draw of course, I'm actually glad I got the duplicate this time as the first one couldn't be drilled quite as I prefer due to the factory stem having an off kilter draft hole.
First a half bowl (air pocket pack) of Frog Morton's Cellar, then a fairly full bowl of Kendal Kentucky blended with Full Virginia Flake.
Tonight it was a Chacom Churchwarden and Brebbia Jumbo Pot.
First in the Chacom some of my home blend C&D Byzantium mixed 50/50 with Newminster No.403, and topped with Blackstrap Rum.
Thus stuff tasted like some kind of berries on the charring light, surely it wasn't just the Rum that did it but man this stuff was good.
Next the Brebbia was loaded with a blend of Sutliff Chocolate Mousse and GH Dark Bird's Eye (still tastes chocolatey and burns very well).
