The pipe smokes wonderfully and that my first time trying dark twist. Great blend. The maple brings a nice sweetness to the party. Looking forward to more of it. Thanks again.that makes me so happy. It's a beautiful pipe it deserves to be smoked.
Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Savinelli Roma 706.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Jamaican Blue Mountain, neat, is my drink. Zooming with a few pipe buddies.
The red tailed hawk just over my pipe just grabbed a squirrel.
Erinmore. What now follows my offend some of you with a delicate disposition so I guess this is what should be called a 'trigger warning' and purely reflects my experience and as such YVMV - (Your Vomit May Vary). This tobacco still smells exactly as I remember it from 1981. It tastes like warm air. I suppose it would compare to running a fart through a pair of www.myshreddies.com and then being disappointed that you can no longer 'Dutch Oven' your significant other half. It burns quite well and requires few relights and the room note is nothing like Bosuns Plug. The second bowl on @simong's suggestion I tweaked with some Coniston Cut Plug which sort of made the tobacco develop something that resembled a personality. I used a late 19th century meerschaum 'cutty' without fear of ghosting. That was what I smoked today and now back to some Gawith Brown Twist.
Dark Bird's Eye in a Radice Silk Cut Brandy.
That's a beautiful pipe!
Vanilla Roll Cake in an Alden.
Second bowl of this blend. First was in a Cobb and I wasn't sure what to think. Tin note was definitely a surprise.
Thank you. My wife got it for me as an anniversary present. She doesn't care much for churchwardens so I never looked into getting one. Now I have two and she got them both.
First smoke of C & D Winchester. Not sure how I feel about it. Eating a big piece of chocolate/peanut butter candy right before I lit the bowl was probably a mistake. I believe I saw @Grangerous. Posting about this blend a week or so ago and since he is a fellow New Jersey dude, I had to give it a go.
PS LTF in a Peterson Donegal Rocky Poker #701. 1 flake fits perfectly.
Just bought 11 packets of Clan online for £10 each; should go down well in the clay pipes!
Finishing up a bowl of C&D’s Haunted Bookshop through my brand new Peterson House pipe, bent in the rusticated finish. I am so impressed at how well these large pipes from Peterson smoke! I gotta tell you if you’re on the fence about the Pub pipe or the house pipe, either for their bowl size or smoking qualities I personally think there’s nothing to worry about, these are amazing pipes!
Now smoking some C&D’s Burley Flake #3 in my Peterson Pub pipe
Thank you very much!! Feeling good now
About a third of a bowl left of this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a straight 1924 Dunhill’s “Shell Briar” patent pot 7 with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This will finish the tin.
